Drawing Hands

Drawing Hands,
lithograph by M. C. Escher, 1948


Food for thought
  • The chicken and egg paradox
  • The elusive threshold between the holistic and reductionist paradigms w.r.t consciousness.
  • Self-referential loops such as "Reread from five words back."
  • Generally: Strange loops
  • (Based on "Tomorrow") Transcendence as an impossible to perceive, self-manifesting and self-fulfilling external imprint to our reality.
  • (Based on "Tomorrow") Overstepping the boundaries of what could be understood as a definition of the paradoxical.


M. C. Escher raises a perfectly valid point.



"If the whole world was to be a single sentence and you were to seek infinite wisdom, what would you yearn? A dictionary? A grammar? Or the ones who spoke its language? "
