Happy birthday world. 2012 is starting tomorrow, and with so much happening around the world, and so many expectations hanging around the magic number “2012”, we wanted to make sure we give it a good welcome.
This video was shot between the 4th and the 11th of April 2011 on “El Teide” the highest mountain of Spain (3718 meters high). It has some really breathtaking shots that kind of made me thankful to being alive on this earth. So let’s keep it togethere, guys. And let 2012 be a year for change. A positive one.

The art movement of surrealism was a great influence on the psychedelia of the 60’s. The hallucinatory nature of the ideas that the surrealists fished from their unconscious, was embraced by the psychedelic movement and adapted for their creations. Well-known psych-rock songs of the era, such as “White Rabbit” and “I am the Walrus“, were heavily influenced by surrealism.
The surrealists became aware of the connection between their approach and the psychedelic experience. Salvador Dali himself was quoted saying in an interview (in response to the question, does he take drugs to make his artwork) “I don’t do drugs; I am drugs.”

Both NiGHTS into dreams… and NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams are classics of pdychedelic gaming. They combine Sonic’s joy of movement with Peter Pan’s dream of flying.
A short animation by Fred Huergo of geometric crystalline concrescence. You can almost feel the weightless flow. I only wish the video was 10 times as long.
