Minecraft never ceases to amaze, from programmable pianos to serial killers. But now someone has tackled M. C. Escher's famous Relativity lithograph from 1953 that depicts a world not bound by the normal laws of gravity. It's an amazing puzzle of a three-dimensional world trapped in a two-dimensional image. Bergenco's version does it justice.
Here's the original by M. C. Escher.
But this isn't the first time a Minecrafter has tried to recreate Relativity. Others have tried to build the sideways and upside-down staircases and awkwardly matching handrails in their sharp edged Minecraft homes. This is Bekalb's simpler version...
Closer view:
And here's an earlier version Bekalb worked on...
Also, cyphern's version of Relativity looks a bit more elaborate, though it's missing the handrail system...
Bergenco's version is definitely the best out of the bunch, but I can't help but think that it could still be improved. This really makes me want to give in and fire up Minecraft for the first time, see what I can do. Has anyone else made a Relativity house? I remember before the time of Minecraft, people used to try and recreate these optical illusions with LEGOs.
How about something a little smaller, like the impossible cube, which comes from the obvious ambiguity of the Necker Cube, presented wonderfully in Escher's Belvedere litograth, where a little boy is playing with a type of impossible object.
Me... I think I'll start with that. Not the whole thing... just the cube.
