Francisco Delgado found the original cover by Douglas R. Hofstadter, for the book Godel, Escher and Bach. As you see, the clever design of the object casts three different shadows, each one giving initials of another artist. We reviewed the illusion in this post, and day after received edited version from another reader. Francisco said: “Regarding Steve’s initials, here you go: Godel, Escher and Bach. The book is a killer, too!” More and more we see optical illusions in modern media. Proof for that are recent Sony Bravia billboards, The Prestige movie poster, Mira foundation
