Jumping between the logical loops of Kurt Gödel, the impossible geometry of MC Escher and the interlocking cadences of Johann Sebastian Bach, the two discuss the self-referential and repeating patterns in nature and art, and perhaps the strangest loop of all – our own consciousness.
Marcus du Sautoy is the Oxford Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science and a Fellow of the Royal Society. Joana Seguro is the producer of the Strange Loops series at the Barbican and founder of Art Klang.
