| This site was listed with an article appearing in todays (073002) issue of the New York Times.
Wonderful site. Facinating artist. Thanks you. |

| I'm an artist and math dilettante, and I agree with all the others who've responded; this is brilliant. If you keep a list of contacts please add me to it. After August 13 make it to mgreene@NHIA.edu. Thank you for sharing. |

| a thoroughly interesting site: thank you. I followed a link from the New York Times |

| I thought that was a very interesting process to "decode" or replicate M.C. Escher's drawings.
The animation was very good. If you have not thought of it already, perhaps you could market it as a screen saver.
All the best,
Dave Condon |

| Gefeliciteerd met deze prachtige site.
Het is een genoegen om naar de filmpjes te kijken.
Ze illustreren goed hoe de "Print Gallery" in elkaar steekt.

| It is incredible. Not two days ago, my husband was remarking upon this very print, saying he wished it had been completed. He spent the entire night staring at it, ruminating. And you have completed it. Remarkable, lovely, and absolutely brilliant. I congratulate you. |

| Thanks for making this so accessible! I enjoyed the write-up and the results tremendously. This adds another flavor to this print and made me appreciate it all the more. Thanks again. I find the animation stunning! |
| Fernando Machado | 2002-07-30 21:46:48+00 |
| Incredible!
It makes Escher's work even more intriguing
Indeed, publish the software, please! |

| would you be interested in publicizing either a standalone program or a graphics plugin (for programs like photoshop) that works on similar end-user created images, according to this algorithm? |

| As a child in the USA I was fascinated by the Carnation Evaporated Milk can. The can had a picture of a cow on a can into infinity, and I would try to "see" how many I could count.
As a grown-up I became fascinated by the work of MC Escher and always wondered why he left the middle of that drawing unfinished. Thank you for figuring it out-it's really mind-boggling! |

| Incredible work here. I thoroughly enjoyed your interpretation and break-down of Escher's work. Including the grids makes it all so clear. Wow. ~JAP |
| Outstanding! When can we buy the print? |
| Jon Sjogren | 2002-07-30 18:59:06+00 |
| Please inform when we can obtain screen saver version. Many would gladly pay Euros 10 Best js |

| Until today, that image was never one of my favourite Escher pieces. However, simply seeing his preparatory grid opened my eyes to the devious genius in the work. My view of it was flipped on its head. This new mathematical and artistic development is truly worthy to follow after such a piece, the two complement each other perfectly.

| As a lifetime student of Escher, I found this work to be
the most impressive I've seen yet on this subject. No one
has ever followed up properly on Escher's work until
recently. To that end, I think
you may find the following website of interest:

| I am highly impressed. Your work here is outstanding. I would enjoy seeing these techniques applied to other prints of Escher. This site is a fantastic teaching resource. |
| maarten de boer | 2002-07-30 13:21:47+00 |
| Wow! Indrukwekkend! En duidelijk uitgelegd.
Zeg, zouden jullie het Droste plaatje ook zo kunnen renderen, ter illustratie?
Als ik de mpg filmpjes afspeel met mplayer -loop, dan
wordt tussen de loops in het window even gesloten. Weten jullie daar iets op?

| Yum, a delicious mix of art and math. When will we have the screen-saver version? ;-) |
| Francis Perey | 2002-07-30 12:23:55+00 |
| Congratulations on making a very sophisticated subject quite clear. I am missing a link to a web site where those of us have some mathematical knowledge but are not "expert" could go a little deeper into the mapping |
| Mitchell Cotter | 2002-07-30 08:48:53+00 |
| Fascinating. The self similarity is another example of a fractal process. The relationship of these drawings to the discrete fractal processes is very interesting. I would encourage you all to pursue further examples. I will have to try playing it on some other system to make the animation work. |
| T.Wignesan | 2002-07-30 07:47:37+00 |
| Even if I had difficulty opening all the frames...fascinatingly ingenious! A thorough poietic dismantling of the senses reversed and re-assembled! Congratulations! Who, please, does the filling in? |
| Jim Ward | 2002-07-30 02:58:55+00 |
| I enjoyed the information about "Print Gallery". I like so many others didn't realize that there was something missing. I have been a fan of Escher ever since I saw his obituary in Time magazine. They printed "Waterfall" in the obituary and this caused me to look at his other works.
Thanks,
Jim |

| The site is wonderful! The combination of Escher's view of the world and the mathematical appreciation of this view fills what for me is a void that seems to have been bothering me for a long time, but I never quite understood exactly why. It's like the void in his drawing, I think. As a scientist I am able to appreciate both the art and the analysis, and I am now richer for having both aspects to enjoy, for which I thank you. |

| For the multimedia impaired under us, for Unices the simplest mpeg-decoder I have been able to find is
Berkeley MPEG Player:
http://bmrc.berkeley.edu/mpeg/mpeg_play.html
It compiles without a glitch under Linux Redhat 6.0, using
cp Imakefile.proto Imakefile; xmkmf; make
To get around the problem that, according to mpeg_play, the mpegs on this site have an improper ending, just skip the last frame:
mpeg -loop -end 398 bclip_1_1.mpg
works nicely for me. |
