Topic: Marcel Duchamp

Farrell draws parallels between abstract art and transhumanism, noting how cubism and works like Marcel Duchamp’s "Nude Descending a Staircase" warp the human form. He compares this to the work of M.C. Escher, which maintains recognizable reality despite complex perspectives. He also notes that the ancient cosmological view of music persists today primarily in film scores, such as John Williams’ work for Star Wars, which uses universal harmonies to manipulate audience emotions.
