Impossible Triangle
Author: António Almas

ISBN: 9781667163758
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 54
Book Description
Humanity is a replication of genes, copies of another copy from the initial chain. We are therefore the replication of the other, in a cyclical reaction that makes us find equal among different ones. Perhaps this triangulation has created similarity between two different ones and made a person think they are the same. This little tale is nothing more than a Penrose triangle, in which a woman finds in two men the similarity that she falls in love with, being that it is a mere optical illusion, or, in reality, are they copies of the same copy?

Sleights of Mind
Author: Susana Martinez-Conde
Publisher: Profile Books
ISBN: 1847652956
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 402
Book Description
What can magic tell us about ourselves and our daily lives? If you subtly change the subject during an uncomfortable conversation, did you know you're using attentional 'misdirection', a core technique of magic? And if you've ever bought an expensive item you'd sworn never to buy, you were probably unaware that the salesperson was, like an accomplished magician, a master at creating the 'illusion of choice'. Leading neuroscientists Stephen Macknik and Susana Martinez-Conde meet with magicians from all over the world to explain how the magician's art sheds light on consciousness, memory, attention, and belief. As the founders of the new discipline of NeuroMagic, they combine cutting-edge scientific research with startling insights into the tricks of the magic trade. By understanding how magic manipulates the processes in our brains, we can better understand how we work - in fields from law and education to marketing, health and psychology - for good and for ill.

The Impossible Arises
Author: Chris Mortensen
Publisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 0253062349
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 164
Book Description
The Impossible Arises explores the life and work of Oscar Reutersvärd (1916–2002), founder of the Impossible Figures movement. The movement began in Stockholm in 1934 when eighteen-year-old Reutersvärd drew the first impossible triangle. Over the course of his life he would go on to draw around 4000 impossible figures and be honored by the Swedish government with an issue of stamps showing his work. Based on a large collection of Reutersvärd's art and correspondence held at the Lilly Library at Indiana University Bloomington, the lavishly illustrated Impossible Arises examines the evolution of Reutersvärd's impossible figures and how they influenced other modern artists in the later twentieth century. The Impossible Arises offers a detailed look at the philosophy guiding Reutersvärd's art and presents a rich array of stories from his eccentric personal life. It is an essential introduction to the life and career of one of the most fascinating artists of the twentieth century.
