The visual illusions of Escher feature in my dissertation on depth perception and illusion in VR. Turns out he was inspired by a real place.

The architecture of Atrani, located just east of Amalfi, resembles a fantasy castle. It's this unique style that inspired the 20th-century Dutch artist and illustrator M.C. Escher, who drew on his memories of Atrani to inspire his later fantasy works. trib.al/Q4tb183

This seaside Italian village doesn't just look Escher-esque, it actually inspired the mind-bending artist.

Realism may be the best life strategy, not optimism or pessimism. bbc.com/worklife/article/202…

How being realistic can be key to your wellbeing

Lots of studies over the years have shown optimists to be healthy and happy. But being a measured realist might be even better for your mental health, researchers say.

Our thoughts are with the academic staff and students at @UNSW as they face almost 500 full-time job cuts and the amalgamation of three faculties as the university responds to the ongoing effects of #COVID19. smh.com.au/national/nsw/unsw…

UNSW to cut 493 staff and merge faculties under COVID-19 response plan

The job losses, revealed to staff on Wednesday, represent about 7.5 per cent of full-time university staff.
