Oh, now... that was cooool.

BTW, the book, "The Infinite World of M.C. Escher" is worth the money.

A Dr WHO story was set in an Escher self-referential world.

You should all read "Escher, Godel and Bach - an Eternal Golden Braid" by Douglas Hofstedder - a Pulitizer Prize winner. This explains Escher's 'self-referential' pictures and other interesting related things in computing, philsoiphy, music and very advanced mathematics...

I HAD tried to read it several times, got bogged down, gave up. Then when the doctor had given me some special medicine for an inner ear infection - one drop on a sugar cube a couple of times a day - conatined noradrelin and a few other 'goodies' !!!?!- I flashed thru the whole book in a couple of hours, and completely and intuitively grasped the lot. I've previously mentioned this here. Perhaps that was what 'opened my mind' so that I topped the IQ test a few years laer.... :-P

The bit about talking to an ant's nest is true - and it DOES work! - but my mum stopped the experiment and insisted that I go back to bed...

I think Bosch must have gotten some really bad ergot in his rye bread.

My favourite! But, the animations don't strike me like my first study (and many since) of his works.

There was also the scene in the movie The Labyrinth with David Bowie's character walking around one of Escher's scenes. I saw something on how it was done, and Bowie had to walk along some tilting walkways which flipped to a different angle as he walked. No animation, or digital effects, just clever ideas and editing.

There is currently a TV commercial associated with the NFL that features Escher's multi directional stairs and building concept except that is is in full color and real life perspective. I believe it was done with either 3D Max or Renderman software.

Those are great but I had to stop watching the last one because I was going dizzy.

He has done some amazing tessellations.
