Comments on: MC Escher's "Relativity" recreated in Star Wars Lego, with many in-jokes and grace-notes http://boingboing.net/2012/06/12/mc-eschers-relativity-re.html Brain candy for Happy Mutants Thu, 23 May 2013 04:27:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: Robbo http://boingboing.net/2012/06/12/mc-eschers-relativity-re.html#comment-1448547 Robbo Wed, 13 Jun 2012 15:03:00 +0000 http://boingboing.net/?p=165941#comment-1448547 Whoah - that's amazing - and it made me flash back to working on Labyrinth with that exquisite reproduction of Relativity. Escher's 2 dimensional illustration is iconic but when you stand immersed in a full sized 3 dimensional replica - pow-zoom!  The only way onto the set was through a narrow opening in one corner and once inside your head just assplodes as you look all around and try not to fall over.

Most impressive. EDIT: Make sure you follow the link- the detail is amazing. Plus, internal lighting and a little movie theater with an ipod touch as the screen! Impressive. Most impressive.

It never ceases to amuse and amaze me when I see the many framed ESCHER PRINTS that litter their offices and even bathroom walls. I think most of my science friends have grown way past the Star Wars obsession phase, but ESCHER remains inscrutably popular - especially the drawing of Escher holding the shiny globe with all the reflections of his surroundings I have quite a few friends with scientific backgrounds, most of them science teachers in various levels of education.
