Indian Animator Ishu Patel was making some highly metaphysical, highly imaginative and exquisitely done videos back in the 1970’s. “The Bead Game”, created by Patel in 1978, is a never ending chainof death and rebirth, of things flowing into and out of one another, falling apart, and creating new life. A beaded version of the game of existence.

When people of the online generation die, I bet the bardos they go through look like the brain-shredding mayhem that is The External World.
edit: The Vimeo copy has been turned private, because “Canal+ are playing it on TV and need people to tune in” – whatever that means! Very strange.. For now, watch it from the link below:
The External World
PHASIA: a Video artist Barry Hale and videographer Jane Mulchrone set out to find a physical form of communication between camera operator and dancer by creating a video feedback loop, physically interrupting its cyclical feed and responding to each others’ movements to bring about coherent images from the chaos of the feedback field. Music by andy cox. This video is available with many others on Critical Mass DVD available from http://stores.ebay.co.uk/threshold-st…
For once an honest brainwashing session! Whales, didgeridoo, sitar, a spirit animal.. you know, the usual car commercial stuff!

When I first saw the video to Power by Kanye West something about it struck me as surprisingly psychedelic. But I could not really put my finger on it: was it the heavy and over the top symbolism, was it the kaleidoscopic yet very straight sensual overload or was it just the idea of a painting slowly beginning to move and expand?
I lost track of this intuition until I just reacently saw this excerpt from Book of Days by Meredith Monk. And there it was again..
This beautiful clip was sent to us by it’s very talented creators – Ben & Julia.
Their Vimeo page features more of their sweet psychedelic work.
A Very crazy, very weird, very demonic, very strong, impressive and disturbing video clip from Computer Jesus Refrigerator. Definitely not for fun trips.
