| Abstract: | The aim of this lecture is to illuminate beautiful ideas, commonly thought to be difficult and esoteric, through beautiful visual images. I will show that our perception of colour gives us immediate access to the concept of extra dimensions, and that the artistic concepts of perspective and anamorphic projection reflect the deep structure of our best theories of fundamental physics.
