Vjay and objects manipulation
19 JanAs a vjay and juggler (beginner), I particularly was impressed by this work…
hope you’ll enjoy it !

This is a collaboration with Jay Latour from France. This is really only the start of an investigations with combining object manipulations and projections, pleasantly surprised with the results though!

Cyriak – Surrealistic Animal Evolutionism
17 JanIn recent weeks we have been receiving a fair amount of Cyriak links. Cyriak, an after effects artist whose work has already been featured here on the DPV is garnering millions upon millions of YouTube views and quickly becoming a sort of YouTube age Dali (At least in terms of popularity).
Imaginatively and often viciously playing around with simple photos and animations, Cyriak creates dream landscapes which often turn into bizzare nightmares. The result is compelling, though I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it for someone under the influence…
Amiga Demo and the size of space
16 JanThe Amiga 500 was my very first computer system. It used DD floppy disks with 880 kb storage space. On those less than 1 mb disks you had games like elite and frontier: elite II that allowed almost limitless exploration of a virtual space literally bursting with solar systems.
But with the copies of those games came something else that challenged the notion of space maybe even more. The teams that “cracked” the copy-protection of those games often attached so-called demos to the code that was run from the disks. So before the game would load you would see – just like a little intro – demonstrations of crazy coding skills in the form of often mind-blowing animation, flickering images and pulsing color.
Those demos were at a most a few kb of code generating ever-changing images in real-time. Usually what you saw was far beyond the things you thought were possible within the technical limitations of your system. Typically some more or less abstract and alien imagery was rotating in front of your eyes, bursting into millions of colorful pieces, turning itself inside out into something totally different, dancing in fluid animation or travelling into impossible depth of space.
Somehow the dense economy of the code resulted in aesthetics and images not unlike the things you see under the influence of psychedelic substances (of course psychedelic substances were not unknown among the members of the demo scene). So, what does math and geometry have to do with psychedelic aesthetics?
Floating Colors
15 JanTime slows to a stop. Colors are alive and vibrant. Things that are unavailable to our everyday perception reveal to us in magnificent splendor. HD cameras, Like psychedelics are a visual enhancement technology.
The Chase Film
15 JanWhy is this new Intel commercial for 2nd generation Intel Core i5 processor psychedelic?
Moving between alternate realities has forever been the trademark of the psychedelic (and shamanic) world view. Although here this happens on a computer desktop (Beware, as Terence McKenna said, computers and drugs are both ways to expand consciousness, only different parts of it…), one only needs to re-imagine this clip as the flight of the shaman through alternate realms, flying between parallel window-worlds in his other-worldly mission. And indeed, it seems to me that the dynamics of this video might remind many a psychedelic voyager, of their own trips, running, flying from inner demons, and into new frontiers through a labyrinth of window-worlds. Highly psychedelic!
How to operate your brain
13 JanI love the way all these lectures get into the internet blood flow, remixed, re edited, and re-formed. operate your brain, don’t let it operate you!
An Excerpt from Fractal Philosophy
12 JanAn Excerpt from my ongoing experiments with fractal imagery and sacred geometric visualizations. This video infuses thematic imagery of flight and transcendence with moving mandalas I designed in After Effects. Music by Ambientium.
