Feeling inspired by Douglas Hofstadter and his creative dialogues on self-reference using metaphors about a conniving tortoise that keeps destroying a crab’s phonograph players using audio feedback:
My iPhone photograph, of a Pinterest photograph, of a Lothar Wolleh photograph of “Rene and Georgette Magritte with their dog after the war,” which is neither Rene nor Georgette Magritte nor their dog. A photo of the original Wolleh photo, but neither the Magritte’s nor their dog, was Paul Simon’s inspiration for a song of the same name as the Wolleh photograph when he saw it reproduced while flipping through a book about Magritte paintings. #SelfReference #Hofstadter #PaulSimon #Magritte #Wolleh #Music #Math #Physics #Art #Consciousness #Dogs (1/2)
