Can you imagine a world where squares don't exist? What about one in which the sum of the angles in a triangle is always less than 180 degrees? Dutch Artist M.C. Escher could and did, and put it down on paper. Come explore the bizarre would of M.C. Escher and hyperbolic geometry — which resembles our own more closely that you know. We'll talk about what you think you know about geometry and patters, and then we'll shake it up a bit. Come find out how simple assumptions have drastic consequences.
