This clip uses strange, home-made (???) videos to try and convey the idea of VALIS that originated in the mind of Philip K. Dick. That is, a “Vast Active Live Intelligent System”, a conceptual entity that bends time and space, and is made of information and knowledge. Although it is Godlike, it doesn’t rule the world; It keeps it from falling to chaos by giving enlightenment. If I understood it right…

Trippy Trends in Minecraft: Freefall
2 OctWe have covered Minecraft before here on dpv. But this time the psychedelic activity is completely user generated. And this proofs an important point: If people would live in a box of legos they would still look for a way to trip.
It is also interesting to compare the aesthetics especially of the first video to the trippy sequence of 2001: A Space Odyssey.
