Infinity On Canvas

摘要

This quote reveals a lot about the primary drive behind some mathematicians' work: the insatiable human need to escape entropy. Chaos and entropy define a state of disarray, unlike the order frequently sought and found in mathematics. Escher's creations have fascinated scientists for a long time. He explored ideas of infinity through many creative ways, portraying fantastical worlds with dragons, goblins and mystical creatures, then atypically assembling the whole. Escher captures infinite processes in space but these are interpreted by human eyes and minds, which are finite.
