[NetBehaviour] [aside] symmetry - science, art and nature - art and illusion

[@-_q @@]

is gombrich worth reading?


i do not suggest to buy the book "eyes, lies and illusions", i would 
interchange it with whoever wants to have a look at it, it is in english,
and it is expensive, at least it was for me,

i would suggest to look at the authors works, to understand the point of 
the book and the exhibition.

there is a shop that is working with old visual artefacts:
http://www.antiquus.es/index_en.php

my child and me have several, we really have fun, is like becoming 
illusionists...

(somehow)


i've always seen gombrich books, but i never thought of reading him.

my next effort would be zizek. i'm curious about him. does anyone know 
him? any suggestion about him?


---->>> by the way, i've been thinking a bit further about symmetry, and 
i've seen somehow that there can't be symmetry when every dot in 
something is the meaning center. to make symmetry, a dot has to act as a 
meaning center. (it has that superb responsability!)


sorry about thinking; if this thread is too long, sorry...
