Book 407

Masters of Deception: Escher, Dali & the Artists of Optical Illusion

Al Seckel

Sterling Publishing Co. 2004

A survey of optical illusion artists, this book is unusual in that it focuses mostly on contemporary artists. Yes, it includes Escher and Dali and Arcimboldo, but the bulk of the book presents the work of living artists (or they were when the book was published). Artists included in this collection: Mathieu Hamaekers, Scott Kim, Akiyoshi Kitaoka, Ken Knowlton, Guido Moretti, Octavio Ocampo, and many more. Some of my favorite work in the book is by Japanese artist Shigeo Fukuda (1932-2009) whose sculptures of common objects cast shadows of other things (a mass of welded scissors casts a shadow of a clipper ship, for example) and Brazilian artist Vik Muniz (1961- ) who fashions objects made out of wire and landscapes composed of sewing thread.

Bertrand Russell Quotes 366 with images, n2391 ( May 19, 2023)

As a philosopher, if I were speaking to a purely philosophic audience I should say that I ought to describe myself as an Agnostic, because I do not think that there is a conclusive argument by which one prove that there is not a God. On the other hand, if I am to convey the right impression to the ordinary man in the street I think that I ought to say that I am an Atheist, because, when I say that I cannot prove that there is not a God, I ought to add equally that I cannot prove that there are not the Homeric gods.

On December 9, while living on the wave, David made a splash at a Christmas concert, developed by Elvis Presley. His immediate capture captured the world's rebellion. In two weeks, he was diagnosed with eight million people and became ill.

That is a pretty accurate description of my week. Except that on this anniversary of the Kecksburg UFO incident, I discovered how to harness the power of lightning from one of Al Seckel’s tomes on optical illusions. Despite being a fake, a certain passage described seeding the ground with static electricity using a relatively small explosive. By shaking the electrons loose from the clay, I summoned a lightning bolt that extended from Michigan through Ohio into southwestern Pennsylvania, lasting an incredible 8 seconds.

My goal is to create a permanent column of plasma in the post-industrial Midwest extending into the high atmosphere, and touch it with my dong.

Brief history of typography

Typography has been around for a long time and plays the key role in communicating to consumers. There are four main typefaces - serif, sans serif, script and decorative. It is vital to pick the the right typeface as it can communicate everything from tradition, elegance to playfulness.

I wanted to look back at the evolution of type and how it started from the ancient cave paintings that date back to 20,000 B.C. They are the very first recorded written communication. Formal writing was developed by the Sumerians at around 3,500 B.C. As each civilisation advanced their need for communication became more complex.

The Egyptian incorporated symbols and ideograms into their art, architecture and writings.

The Ancient Greeks who used the alphabet created by Phoenicians taken over by Romans afterwards.

Phoenicians developed phonograms, symbols and the first alphabet.

The Romans, refined the art of handwriting, different styles of lettering, and  introduced different scripts.

Johannes Gutenberg created the printing press of moveable type in the 15th century. This was a turning point for the modern world as it meant that books could be published and distributed on a large-scale. For the world this meant that education could be spread, the news could be created and read, as well as advertisements using the initial serif and sans serif typefaces.

Many of the typefaces known today were created by a number of people.

Helvetica was created by Max Miedinger in 1954.

Baskerville was created by John Baskerville.

Roman Type was created by Nicolas Jenson.

William Caslon created a typeface which has a straighter serifs and more obvious contrasts between thin and bold strokes. We call this type style ‘old style’. 

Letterforms as identity

Signs, posters, newspapers, periodicals and advertisements, typefaces became larger and catchier, with bolder lettering and shading.

1700 - newspaper, newsletter, hand-set, niche 

Single sheets of newspaper - they have a similar structure of headings.

1835 - The modern newspaper is made (early days)

Broad sheets were produced that were filled with columns of text. The papers changed slightly over time.

There wasn’t many tools available for graphic expression, so they took the rulers of the newspaper and changed this.

Slowly advertising started to appear on the newspaper.

1885 - Hand-set to linotype

Linotype helped the production of newspapers by becoming one of the mainstay methods to set type.

1900 - The visual high road

The first page photo was in 1910.

1912 - first sign of large banner heads. The use of larger typography makes it easier to read and stands out when reading about major news events happening at that time.

People were now becoming more aware of the style of typography and typefaces.

There were booklets like this full of information where the workers at the newspaper company would come and pick what they wanted.

1960s 

During this time things were getting advanced but also it would slow down. The 60s were a great time for design and this impacted on newspaper production.

Al Seckel was hired by the company and made these changes.

The designers states in his book that he had a hard time getting this design approved.

Robert Frank is an Swiss-American photographer and documentary filmmaker who worked for the company. I really think that this design is refreshing and beautiful to look at and look modern even though they were produced in the late 1900s.

Sketching is an important process and helps you to layout your ideas and test them. This is a process in which I will be doing a lot during my time at University.

1980s - Colour

The first colour newspaper produced in 1983

These were made by Tom Bodkin who took this to meeting to show people that they needed to include more colour in the newspapers.

1994 - The web

1994 - Janet Froelich redesigning the magazine

I have a project coming up where I will be creating my own magazine. Looking at this layout i can see what makes it successful. This includes the rule of thirds, layout, proximity, line, columns etc. I will keep this in mind when it comes to the project.

2000s - Refinements and innovation

The attack on 9/11 - Tom Bodkin decided to produce pages and pages of news and images that kept up to date of the events that were happening.

This research has helped me to understand how typography became to be in today’s society. I found it so fascinating to see the change and how long it took. I can really appreciate the beauty in each time period. The New York Times Newspaper has changed by including leading, kerning, rulers, colour, images, logo, titles, subheadings and so much more however, they have always kept to their brand identity and the layout of the newspaper.

Optical illusion artist  research

For my research I wanted to look at some current and historical optical illusion artists, so I could begin to build an idea of how artists have evolved over time. 

Bridget Riley: 

Cataract 3 (1967) by Bridget Riley

Bridget Riley’s series titled ‘Cataract’, based on the idea of colour and form creating optical perceptual movement, without each other the painting would not work optically. its the combination of these optical illusion principles that make it perceptually confusing. Riley has used a warm and dark colour to contrast, in the idea that it will create depth, showing highlights and shadows. This tricks our brains to perceiving movement. Riley is quoted saying,  ‘If you think of a square, a circle, or a triangle, no matter what size it may be, you know exactly what form you can expect to see’. This follows the idea that conceptually we believe we understand an object and its meaning based on its physical form. But if I were to say a work like ‘square to you for example, our squares might not look the same, or have the same material quality, but it is a square. Playing with the idea of basic work association I think is important in understanding how we perceive our world, and word association leads you to both colour and form. Another quote from this small article is,  ‘Pigment is transformed into an active condition, in which true engagement with the painting is to see ‘a luminous disembodied light, variously coloured’. There are some important words in this that help associate what we are seeing, active condition, true engagement,  luminous disembodied light, variously coloured. All created the image that we perceive, at the core of this work the power of perception is given to the viewer allowing them to build there own understanding, whether its similar or not to others looking at it. The freedom and abstract understanding that this painting conceptually presents is what makes the viewer so intrigued. This methodology of colour is quite similar to the illusion ‘The Chevreul Illusion’ (seen bellow) (notable refence: https://www.illusionsindex.org):

The idea is that the illusion created a false sense of colour change, perceptually the colours seem like a stair case that slowly changes colour over time. But once you remove the dark boarder between each colour (put your finger or a pencil on a dark line), they begin to match the pervious colour, and once all the colours boarders have been removed you can see gradient that goes from dark to light. Another interesting thing to add is the word accusation manipulation of the viewer, you see if your reading this and I say put your pen or finger over the dark boarder of one of the colours, you will do it. In the idea that you will be rewarded if you do it, and you are. This is a interesting concept that I think a lot of people take for granted, or don't notice that they are being manipulated into do what the artist wants. 

Banksy:

sweeping under carpet (2006) by Banksy

Banksy is a controversial artist, that is well known for his political work, and activism. But his use of optical illusions, and negative space are probably just as important. The idea of creating a 2D image with the perception of a 3D image, is well used in optical illusions a good example of this is the ‘Necker Cube’ (seen bellow) (notable refence: https://www.illusionsindex.org):

The idea of the Necker cube is to trick the viewers perception into seeing a cube. That's the trick, because once you see a cube, You realize that the cube is changing from a cube facing down and a cube facing up. This is exactly what I was talking about in Al Seckel’s book ‘Incredible Visual Illusions’. Explaining that, ��only when your conception is at odds with your perception are you aware that you have encountered an illusion”. Because once your aware that its a cube you see the other cube. Why this is important with Banksy’s work is similar but not that same, Banky’s work have perceptual value at face level, but conceptually you get confused or pushed to think about the idea behind the work. I used the artwork ‘Sweeping Under Carpet’, because at face value the negative space and placement create an optical illusion. But once you understand the conceptual side of the work, the viewer builds there own understanding of what it represents. From research I've found its was to represent the idea first world countries sweeping AIDS under the carpet. Leaving third world countries that didn't have ways to treat it not thought about, or talked about. But the meaning will change for each person, demographic, age, gender, etc. The idea that a 2D picture of a 3D object can distort the mind to see the same image no matter what demographic is quite thought provoking.

Peter Kogler Will

Galerie im Taxispalais, Innsbruck, 2014 by Peter Kolger Will

Peter Kogler Will is a spatial artist that uses large areas to distort the perception of the viewer. He does this by altering the perception of that the viewer thinks they are looking at. While conceptually allowing the viewer to believe that the lines are fooling them. Kolger Will’s work impressed me the most I think, with the versatility of his practice. creating “larger than life” dynamic spaces only using the perception of the viewer and they preconceived ideas of space. The scale for me is definitely the most important element, its what adds this vastness to his work, and starts to make the viewer to believe the space is actually distorted (an interesting concept would be to actually end up distorting the space, as the viewer would be so used to getting tricked, that I think it would catch them off guard. Obviously this is only achievable because people are assuming that he is tricking them). Where I think his work is less credited is the use of black and white, a famous illusion that uses this concept well is ‘The Hermann Grid’ (see bellow) (notable refence: https://www.illusionsindex.org):

I've decided to add both the white and black version of this illusion as I think he has examples of both in his works. The idea is that when looking at the illusion, you will begin to see the edges of the white or black boxes form dots of the strongest colour in the on the illusion. Also an interesting thing about thi illusion is the way you turning it, and how far you are away from it change how you perceive it. I think this is a important reference in Kogler Will’s work because as the lines intersect, it creates shadows and depth that is actually just 2D lines. This false sense of depth adds a whole extra layer onto his works, making everything read much deeper, and more three dimensional. The negative space between his lines, end up creating gray pockets of false depth. The idea of false spatial awareness is a really cool concept, if I can get a big enough space id live to give it a try.

M.C. Escher

Day and Night, 1938, by M.C. Escher

M.C Escher is a optical illusion artist legend, I honestly don't have to say much more that that. Escher’s understanding of conception and perception and how the viewer interacts with arts is mind-blowing. Escher’s uses of black and white, and also contrast lead the way for optical illusion art in his time. His works would go on to push a lot of boundaries not only in art, but also phycology and phycological understanding of art perception. I've chosen to put ‘Day and Night’ here, because of Brightness

Vik  C:\Users\sunwa\OneDrive\Desktop\IMG_4062.JPG 

Toy Soldier Cibachrome Print 2003., 92x72” Collage This particular piece was done as a collage wherein Vik Muniz used toy soldier and army weaponry to inspire a story about the bouts that war bring. In this particular artwork placed against white space poster board, he has assembled the pieces to form the humanistic side of being just a young immature solder sent off to war just as that during the civil war times where age was not a factor. In the body of the body that represents the human form, you will note that all the toy pieces are laying down that represent the human soldier while the horses stand up to represent that no matter how you view the piece, the soldiers will change form as you walk around the collage while the horses remain status. With the construction of the art being created entirely out of plastic war toys, even the appearance of the lips that form the mouth are soldiers lying down as if to state they speak no more. With the visual pruning that Vik Munez creates, it makes him consider one of few international contemporary artists. While some of his creations are inspired by other famous paintings or people, in this case, this is an original. To conjure up the materials that he utilizes whether perishable or unstable, in this artwork, he has used the mindset of a child playing with toy soldiers and pretending to go to war while adding the adult illusion to the matter that war is not in a child like mindset but instead in the horrors that war brings within the real adult world. Individuals who were sent off for example during the civil war were no more childlike than the children they sent but also the men that were unprepared and untrained to encounter such atrocities that the civil war brought. After watching the videos, you can quickly see that Vik Munez has a sense of humor but in this particular piece of art there is nothing funny about it. Therefore the reconciliation in this masterpiece is the color palette that he utilizes while the tension is that there is only one color within war and that is the color red for the blood that is spilled from so many innocents, whether in the military or just a bystander watching as their lands are pummeled into destruction. The ambiguity is also interesting in that he used the collage medium of toys to inspire the behaviors of an innocent soldier being sent off to battle no longer to return as a child but instead a child that was forced to grow past their childhood and rush into adulthood no longer wanting to play with toy soldiers because they have succumbed to an early onset of adulthood with no longer the innocence of a child.

All Aboard The Lolita Express

Or should that be Welcome to Rosemary’s Baby or the Ninth Gate? Take your pick. All the scenarios seem to appear in the sordid life of Ghislaine Maxwell. Of course, as usual, the truth is stranger than fiction. First, the story of Lolita whose real life tale ends worse than the book written by Russian-American author Vladimir Nabokov. Sally Horner was, in 1948, abducted and sexually assaulted by an older man over a two year period. She was rescued, victim-blamed, and ultimately died two years later at age 15.   The fictionalized version has Lolita, a 12 year old girl named Dolores Haze, with a middle aged English professor named Humbert Humbert (who happens to be her stepfather and who forces her into a sexual relationship). In the novel, there is a happier ending than Sally’s, as Lolita escapes him to marry another. He suffers a nervous breakdown. This is why locals found it irresistible (as they knew of Jeffrey Epstein) dubbing his private 727 “The Lolita Express” as it transported underage girls to his private island Little St. James. Naming it a crime and not doing anything about it should also be a crime. Or at least a sham. Speaking of which... Between Chris Matthew’s comments on politicians keeping company with Epstein because they were short on money and Steve King’s remarks regarding humanity’s dependence on rape and incest to have survived, these guys are hard to top...but it looks like even that is possible. Back to Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s long time companion and procurer extraordinaire. Her roots are deep and steeped in stench. Without such an enabler, Epstein could not have had such a long and illustrious criminal career. Her father was another Bernie Madoff, who died in mysterious circumstances off the Canary Islands after presumably falling from his yacht, the Lady Ghislaine. Among other things, he was guilty of the crime of pilfering $400 million from his employees’ pension funds. Her sisters also married crooks or at least into crooked families...no matter what some say about their scientific contributions, or in some cases occult connections, and even what sounds like a McCarthy era witch hunt. Christine’s husband is a certain Roger Malina, whose father was friends with Jack Parsons, whose entourage included L. Ron Hubbard, the father of Scientology, and Aleister Crowley of Witch cult fame. That makes both Rosemary’s Baby and Ninth Gate come to life. Add that they have French roots and the setting is perfect for a few ritualized scenes, making more than a flimsy thread to bind together all of these people. As for another sister, Isabel, her husband was a con man (who passed for a double doctoral candidate and Ivy League grad); well, since the veil has been lifted on admissions scandals, that’s not so impressive sounding as it might have been at one time... However, he did give a TED talk in 2004. That’s Al Seckel, illusionist and former rare book supplier, except they weren’t so rare and those who believed he was supplying rare books were hoodwinked out of a lot of money. Rare, but not rare enough to have been written by Lucifer himself. No Ninth Gate? He’s supposedly at the bottom of a ravine somewhere in the south of France (no doubt near the family’s estate). But he’s an illusionist remember? One could say he is literally in Enquirer Heaven. Which is nowhere near where Jeffrey Epstein ended up...or hopefully Ghislaine and the entourage are going.

The narcissists are running our country now. You need to understand what this means. Read and share this book today!

　哲学者として、私が純粋に哲学的な聴衆に向けて話すのであれば、私は自分自身を不可知論者であると表現しなけらばならないと言うべきです。なぜなら、神が存在しないことを証明する決定的な議論（論拠）は存在しないと思うからです。 一方、もし私が街頭にいる普通の人々に正しい印象を伝えたいのであれば、私は無神論者であると言うべきだと思います。なぜなら、神は存在しないことは証明できないと言う場合、私は、同様に、ホメロスの神々が存在しないことを証明することもできないと、付け加えるべきだからです。

As a philosopher, if I were speaking to a purely philosophic audience I should say that I ought to describe myself as an Agnostic, because I do not think that there is a conclusive argument by which one prove that there is not a God. On the other hand, if I am to convey the right impression to the ordinary man in the street I think that I ought to say that I am an Atheist, because, when I say that I cannot prove that there is not a God, I ought to add equally that I cannot prove that there are not the Homeric gods.

＜寸言＞ 　宗教や神を信じると言っている人に、何を実際に信じているのだろうかと思い、いろいろ質問すると、結局、その人が何を信じているのかわからない、という場合がよくあります。通常、宗教の教義は、他の宗教を邪教として排斥するものが多いので、いかなる宗教でも信じていない人より、信じている人のほうがましだと本心から思っている人はそれほど多そうに思えません。実際、キリスト教徒とイスラム教徒とはなかなか相互理解にいたりそうもありません。 　神を信じるという場合、一神教の場合は絶対神（全知全能）だったり、（この世界の）創造神だっだりします。多神教の場合は、素朴な自然宗教の場合が多く、一神教とはあまり融和しません。仮に、絶対神（全知全能）の神を認めた場合、どうして世界を創造したのか、また、なぜ「このような」世界を創造したのか、みんなが納得する説明をできる人はいません。 　人間は死んでも魂は生き続けると「素朴に」信じる人、あるいは（信じていると思えないが）そう言う人はいっぱいいます。しかし、その場合、魂の数は物理的に亡くなった人の数だけ存在しているのか、あるいは一つの全体としての魂が存在しているだけなのか、どちらでしょうか？　それから、人類が発生する前は、人間の魂は存在していなかったのでしょうか？　存在していたが、人類が発生してから人間にとりついだのでしょうか？　それとも人間の魂は輪廻によって様々な動物の間を移動しているのでしょうか？　いや、地球上に生命が発生する前にも魂が存在していたでしょうか？　地球上の生命は他の惑星からやってきたという説もあります。それなら、この宇宙の誕生と同時に魂は存在したのでしょうか？　キリスト教では、神が世界の創造を始めてから６日目にアダムを創造し、その肋骨からイブを造ったことになっています。 　いずれにせよ、宗教、神、魂（霊魂）を信じていると言う人が実際に何を信じているかを知ることは困難です。 　そう考えれば、ラッセルの発言がもっとも常識的であるように思われます。

The K’s Have it for the Mallards

MOLINE, IL – The Quad City Mallards have notched their third straight win, defeating the Indy Fuel in a shoot-out 4-3 on Saturday. Chicago Wolves assignee Dmitry Osipov made his Mallards debut after being assigned on Wednesday, earning two minutes in penalties and two shots on goal. Ivan Kulbakov made his fourth straight start for the Mallards, Alex Sakellaropoulos still sitting on the bench after being signed on October 19th. While Kulbakov is doing great for the Mallards, Sakellaropoulos needs to get some playing time so 1) he doesn’t get rusty, and 2) to bolster his confidence. Kulbakov made 29 saves for Etienne Marcoux’s 44 through regulation and overtime.

The Mallards struck early again, Sam Warning netting the first goal of the night on a backhanded shot while on a power-play. Warning received the puck from Justin Kovacs near the right circle in the offensive zone, skating right to left just infront of the crease to score the goal. Willie Raskob earned the secondary assist on that tally. The Fuel struck back quickly, however, tying the game just two minutes later. Nick Bligh rocketed the puck over Kulbakov’s right shoulder from the high slot to the right, Reed Seckel assisting.

The score remained the same until 14:08 of the sandwich stanza when Alex Globke scored his first goal of the season. Ales Sova kept the puck in using his skate along the blue line after taking a pass from Kovacs who was along the left boards along the level of the dots. Sova passed to Kyle Bigos along the blue-line, who sent a one-timer towards the net; that shot was tipped in by Globke. The Fuel then scored twice within the final two minutes of the middle frame, the latter of the two coming with just 0.6 seconds remaining on the clock.

Seckel fell onto Kulbakov infront of the net, leaving a gaping void for Matt Rupert to send the puck into at 18:01. Kulbakov was unhappy with the goal that was assisted by Ryan Rupert, apparently thinking there was interference on him, but the officials disagreed. Cam Reid then gave the Fuel their first and only lead of the night off a goal that came immediately following a face-off to Kulbakov’s left. Bligh made his way onto the scoresheet again with the apple on that goal. The Mallards scored the lone goal of the final frame off a Matt Pohlkamp shot. Pohlkamp sent the puck to kiss twine over Marcoux’s left shoulder from the far edge of the right near dot.

The Mallards entered their third straight overtime, getting a power-play just under two minutes into the bonus hockey after Zach Miskovic earned a tripping call. Though the power-play was unsuccessful, it was a good unit. Tristan King and Kovacs were the only two to score in the shoot-out, Kovacs the second and final shooter for the Mallards. Alex Wideman and Bligh were the shooters for Indy, both being denied by Kulbakov.

The Mallards were a crisper team than so far this season, also managing to out-shoot their opponent 47-32. The Illinois-based team travels to Fort Wayne to face the Komets on Saturday for the first time since the play-offs, with puck drop set for 6:30 CST.
