The dark side of psychedelia… Brought to you by Andy Warhol
15 AugThe pop artist Andy Warhol created in the mid-Sixties the “Exploding Plastic Inevitable”, a series of multimedia shows featuring his experimental films, dancers (and actors) from his Factory, and performances by the band The Velvet Underground, who were managed by him.
The show, as it was seen live, must have been a very trippy, freaky experience. This did fit the experimental attitude of The Velvet Underground who, in an age of the “flower power” and “Peace & Love”, touched darker and edgier subjects in their lyrics and avant-garde sounds in their music.
Gems from the German Psychedelic Underground: Amon Düül II
14 AugThis is one remarkable find in the youtube galaxy: early footage of Amon Düül II performing psychedelic punk freak-outs blended with beautiful shots of a strangely solemn german countryside. As far as I know the camera is operated by a young Wim Wenders.
Bonus track:

Apparition – Klaus Obermaier & Ars Electronica Futurelab
10 AugAs a performer and a videast, I am strongly interested by both dance, performing and video !
Recently, on of my friend showed me this stuning work by Klaus Obermaier in inyteractive video,
I naturally wanted to share it with you !
An interactive dance and media performance conceived and directed by Klaus Obermaier, in collaboration with the Ars Electronica Futurelab, featuring Desirée Kongerød and Rob Tannion.
– What choreography emerges when software is your partner?
– When virtual and actual image space share the same physics?
– Where everything that moves on the stage is both interactive and independent?
– And any form, dancing or still, can be transformed into a kinetic projection surface?
