Have you ever looked at a picture that makes your brain just wanna give up? Chances are you were looking at a visual illusion, an image that plays with our mind’s perception of reality. And one of the most famous visual illusion artists of them all was MC Escher.
You may not have heard that name before, but you’ve definitely seen his work. MC Escher is responsible for some of the most iconic and eye breaking illusions. Stuff that makes you stare for hours navigating the twists and turns of his art until you end up right where you started. Ever seen a picture of people on a circular staircase? Everybody’s walking upstairs but nobody seems to be getting any higher. That’s Escher work. His visual art puzzles make appearances in everything from movies, to anime, to video games.
And now, thanks to the phenomenal talent of S_pinney and H2CO3, Escher’s work has come to Minecraft in all of it’s blocky, mind-bendy glory. If you’re looking at these images going what? huh? How did they do this? - don’t worry! We’ve got some answers for you straight from the builders themselves.
