Re: Genius Piece of Art

It looks like it's scratched into the surface, like the white was made by scratching off the black.

And it's very nice.

Maybe i'll try painting again today.

Triangle. Empirical Universalism.

Finding balance in the impossibility, returning to the true chaos of things?

Re: Genius Piece of Art

No sir, the penrose triangle was developed to be a sign of impossibility, to show people they don't need beliefs stupidhead

; so, in a sense, by showing people the nature of their lie, and exposing the truth, it has returned balance to the force.

Re: Genius Piece of Art

from the site you gave me.

The Penrose triangle, also known as the tribar, is an impossible object. It was first created by the Swedish artist Oscar Reutersvärd in 1934. The mathematician Roger Penrose independently devised and popularised it in the 1950s, describing it as "impossibility in its purest form". It is featured prominently in the works of artist M.C. Escher, whose earlier depictions of impossible objects partly inspired it. It is used as a symbol in the religion of Empirical Universalism, asserting the need to transcend any system of belief.


end kwote.

so, how am i wrong?

that's false. It was created by Oscar Reutersvärd in 1934; the mathematician Roger Penrose independently devised and popularised it in the 1950s; AND THEN it was used as a symbol in the religion of Empirical Universalism, asserting the need to transcend any system of belief.

i think it's pretty clear.

So, my question has now been answered: it is because of the significance that was later imprinted upon the already mathematical object "The penrose triangle".

Jokes. Jokes. I already stated i liked it, iota wanted to know how i connected those three symbols into a common theme, and the game ensued.
I don't travel much, so forgive my ignorance: do they have books in Macedonia, the kind with words in them? Syntax, grasshopp, syntax.
Read the fucking posts, pay attention.

Re: Genius Piece of Art

wouldn't a regular triangle would represent 3 sides, wheras a penrose triangle would rpresent the potential of the so-called ''impossibilities'' in life. The Penrose triangle was a statement against organized religion.

You're only giving me a hard time because you refuse to explain anything. And since i'm confused, and you seem to have the answers, it made sense.

How many fingers?

Re: Genius Piece of Art

Hey,you are right...it is the penrose triangle.
What i'm trying to say is,the pictures meanings can be realtive.
Only the artist realy knows why he has put those things together.

And why nobody has noticed the eye in the middle?
Can it be...a chakra?or maybe,combined with the triangle...a seal?

Re: Genius Piece of Art

2'nd time i've posted this:

The Penrose triangle, also known as the tribar, is an impossible object. It was first created by the Swedish artist Oscar Reutersvärd in 1934. The mathematician Roger Penrose independently devised and popularised it in the 1950s, describing it as "impossibility in its purest form". It is featured prominently in the works of artist M.C. Escher, whose earlier depictions of impossible objects partly inspired it. It is used as a symbol in the religion of Empirical Universalism, asserting the need to transcend any system of belief.

quoted from wikipedia.


The Penrose triangle had a very specific purpose, which, when combined with the yin yang and the metatrons cube, i feel the purpose was to show the great balance of the universe via the chaos of it (the chaos that binds it).

Yin yang = balance despite extremes
Metatrons cube = the fruit of life containing all 5 Platonic solids and the tree of life (i.e everything)
The Penrose triangle = potential for impossibility

All this leads me to believe the goal was to say EVERYTHING WE CAN SEE OR DO OR KNOW, what is the Universe, everything, if it is not a perfect dance? Gravity, inertia, all properties of matter: it's all just an interminable walz on a silken black cymbal.

that is what i see, perhaps Medusa will come back and enlighten us, but i'm not going to hold my breath.
I like figuring it out on my own.

Test, Would you like tool as much if they came with an instruction manual?

Jesus fucking Christburger. Read the rest of that post. The Tool remark was concerning your (TEST) comment that Medusa should give us the purpose behind the artwork, so we don't need to ask questions.
It was a metaphrase for the situation.

The eye is a product of the symbols, representing the unified consciousness, i.e. the gooooooal! The light at the end of the tunnel, the fucking pot ó Gooold at the end of the rainbow.

By taking the perameters of the Universe, which are defined by the platonic solids, we may find balance through breathing excersises and an understanding that we cannot be controlled by the extreme nature of things (yin yang); this will lead us to believe in the impossible, and therefore beginning the home s tretch to unity. (penrose)
See how the eye conneects the three symbols?
