M.C. Escher’s art is pretty mindblowing. It always featured impossible staircases that go up or down forever depending on how your eyes see it. Donkey Kong is pretty amazing too, but for entirely different reasons that only a video game nerd can appreciate.
Put them both together and you have yourself an amazing and crazy game where the barrels can roll up and down to infinity and Jumpman will never get the girl. Well, that’s not exactly what happens here, but it is still pretty amazing to watch.
Artist Chris Carlson replicated Escher’s staircase and combined it with Donkey Kong. And even though we don’t get a full animated level, this art is amazing and makes you appreciate Escher all the more as you watch the barrel do the impossible.
We’ve seen differentgeeky takes on M.C. Escher’s Relativity before, but this one is simply amazing. You have the whole Star Wars trilogy here done up in LEGO and an amazing amount of detail. This astounding LEGO build was created by Paul Vermeesch. The interior of the Death Star is here, as well as Tatooine, the Star Destroyer, Endor, and Hoth. Although it seems weird to see Luke riding a Tauntaun in his pilot uniform. Obi-Wan is even distracting stormtroopers so that he can disable the tractor beam on the Death Star.
I declare it a LEGO masterpiece. I don’t even care which side is up or how Escher’s work tricks the eye. It’s Star Wars, it’s LEGO and it is awesome. Nice work Paul.
