Chotto Torimasuyo – Possibly the wildest craziest Japanese manga shit ever

10 Sep

Some clips just make you go: Wow!!! Then they make laugh uncontrollably for minutes at a time. And then watch them again, and again, and again. “Chotto Torimasuyo” by 2ch group Hachimiri, is certainly one of them. A crazy mixture of psychic visuals, Flash, hardcore techno music and anime aesthetics, of that special kind that only Japanese people could create.

I could not find any video-streaming version of this one, so you have to press the link and download the .swf file which will play on your browser. But it is worth it, oh yeah!

Painting the city

9 Sep

‘Lightrails’ is a light sculpture with the intention to re-define and re-interpret the exhibition room. An easy but effective mapping technique was used to create seamless projections on both sides of the object. Light-beams were triggered by the visitors and ran through the room, following the surface created by the sculpture. Each “reflection” of the light-beam was accompanied by sound. read more—->

Syncrosect (2004)

7 Sep

Syncrosect is a collaboration between psychedelic trance musician Mr. Peculiar (Dustin Saalfield) and visual artist The Shapeshifter (Alex Courtney).
The idea of Syncrosect is to visually capture the vibrant energy and rich atmospheres of trance music. The system used to achieve this involves separating out individual sounds and creating animations to match. The animation loops are then composited and sequenced to precisely match the audio.

They have uploaded two of the six tracks on the DVD to Vimeo, so click on the Vimeo-text to get to the other one.

Some kind soul uploaded the complete feature film of the radical jazz musician Sun Ra. It mixes intelligent alien life with ancient Egyptian art, black pride, God, the Devil and ho so wonderful music.

time/space extrusion experiments

4 Sep

Strata cut is an animation technique invented by David Daniels. He explains:

“Stratacut is the revealed technique in a way but what you are really doing is sculpting time. You are creating these blobby-spaghetti extrusions with a lot of distortions in them. You are calculating how they will be revealed in time. The potential energy that has been sculpted into them is revealed as kinetic energy once it is cut apart. So I tried to figure out all the possible geometric principals on which the twisting of the shapes would yield the ideal result; the blinking eyes, rotating faces, walking, etc.”

the whole interview in “The Art Of the Title Sequence” is highly recommended.

The next clip is from his cult student film “Buzz Box”, I think it’s brilliant, but might freak you out:

Psychedelic Visions from Other Worlds

1 Sep

Other worlds – J. Kounen (2004)

Ayahuasca induced DMT visions guided by Shipibo Shamens deep in the Peruvian Amazons. This is the final scene from Jan Kounen’s documentary Other Worlds (“D’Autres Mondes”).

…We all share a universal mythology, which serves as a source for the visions. Each and every one of us is an infinite universe, where angels and demons make up our thoughts, emotions, memory and our body…

giant soap bubbles

30 Aug

Beautiful things that look like magic are sure to go nicely with whatever state of conciseness you’re at; and there is that “being inside a bubble” feeling you know; and all those double rainbows and morphing shape… Yep, giant soap bubbles are psychedelic.
