My Life in Ambigrammia

Douglas Hofstader

When you engage in “ambigrammia” (the act or art of producing an ambigram), you are not so much creating something new as discovering something old—or rather, something timeless, something that already (sort of) existed, something that could have been found by someone else, at least in principle. Ambigrammia is thus neither fish nor fowl, in that it floats somewhere between creation and discovery.
