ayiman: From the Codex Seraphinianus.  It’s a bit of a trip.   Douglas R. Hofstadter, in Metamagical Themas: Questing for the Essence of Mind and Pattern, finds many of the illustrations “grotesque and disturbing” and others “extremely beautiful and visionary”. He says the book “seems to [many people] to glorify entropy, chaos, and incomprehensibility” There’s a .pdf if you don’t have several hundred dollars to spend on a physical copy. oh my god yes there’s a .pdf!  fantastic.
