Almost Worthy of Burning Man

Recreating Escher, Dyson makes water appear to flow uphill, which is a way kewl art project. At the bottom of this article is a sign of our times, a warning that Dyson has or should take care of legal protection for 'his idea' for such a water feature. Would not the idea be Escher's? - I have noticed lately how much, months after Burning Man, that some memes are stuck in my head. Art is to share, to foster new ideas and new art, new synergy. A )^( artist would be proud to see his original idea expanded on, although outright copying would be lame. Unfortunately, there are lots of lame people out there.
