A special DPV screening in Spain & DAY DAY “TRIPPY” ft. P.K.

As in every year, the DPV will be celebrating the new year with a special screening of the best psychedelic videos of the passing year. This time the screening will take place in the “La Goma” bar in Calle Gracia 40, in Granada, Spain, on Thursday the 18th of December. So if you are around the area, be sure not to miss it and come say hello to me while you are there. It’s going to be spectacular! Meanwhile, for all you famished psychedelic aficionados out there, take this hyper-effective collage of psychedelic visuals. Right on!

“4 Givings” Colin Barton

13 Dec

Los Angeles Filmmaker and very groovy friend Colin Barton takes us on a highly textured psychedelic journey using cameraless direct on film animation techniques.

Colin says:

Based on multiples of fours, ‘4 Givings’ moves through the cycle of the day with the central theme of forgiveness, release, renewal, and acceptance. Following an alchemical motif, earth, wind, fire, and water recur and are represented by archetypes and abstractions.

Animated on fours, this all 35mm direct on film animation was composited in After Effects.

Spiral 5 PTL (1979)

13 Dec

Short for ‘Perhaps The Last’, this real-time performance is generated on video synthesizers, spiral trip away! Created by electronic art pioneers Dan Sandin, Tom Defanti and Mimi Shevitz; Spiral PTL was in the inaugural video art collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Made from Stock

13 Dec

When a friend showed me this video for the first time, I asked him, “How would you go about making a video like this? How would you describe this vision to a director?” It turns out that you don’t. Carl Burgess was given complete freedom in creating this video for Ratatat, and the finished product was made entirely from stock footage. Here’s a full article on the production: http://www.fastcodesign.com/1662128/carl-burgess-director-of-the-years-creepiest-coolest-music-video

And while the above is my favorite, I think it would be dishonest of me to post a Ratatat video for a community like the DPV without tossing in at least one more. I’d say Falcon Jab is probably the most traditionally psychedelic of their videos–that I’ve seen, anyway–but there’s just something all too human in the video for Drugs that made me choose it for my headline this Saturday.

Submarine Sandwich by PES

11 Dec

EDIT: (Previous post was of making of. Now see watch film!)

It’s finally here! The latest short from PES, the master of stop motion filmmaking who brought us the academy award nominated ‘Fresh Guacamole‘. PES has once again achieved an other-wordly sense of motion, striking the perfect balance between persistent movement and the punctuated feel of frame-by-frame filming. There is something remarkably entracing about every carefully choreographed and calculated movement. Submarine Sandwich is a mind-bogglingly precise and technical undertaking that manages to comes through fully coloured by PES’ characteristic whimsy and charming childlike playfulness. Check it out!

Into the colorflow

10 Dec

Three processes interact to make this animation. A spontaneous differentiation due to a multi-scale Turing instability causes the development of dots and lines of various colors. Each color is also a movement, leading to a compressible flow which smears and obliterates the dots and lines. The third process is an overall exponential growth or inflation. Small structures expand, and the Turing instability causes sub-structures to form.
