  • "A tribute to the artist M. C. Escher. Described as the master of impossible objects - possible to conceive, but impossible to convey in 3-dimensional space, Escher used light, geometry and higher mathematics to instruct and to entertain. His art has been hailed as the meeting of science and imagination."@en
  • "In this overview of the life and work of M.C. Escher, examples of his incredibly detailed prints are shown and analyzed with particular attention to his use of symmetry and geometrical figures. Patterns in the Italian countryside and mosaic tiles from Spain were two major influences in the printmaker's work, as was the work of mathematicians specializing in "impossible objects" which could be drawn, but not created in three dimensional space. Escher incorporated all of these elements to create a fantastic world described as an encounter between imagination and the culture of mathematics and science."@en
