Sometimes psychedelia lies in a total lack of context. When I envision an alien race observing life on Earth for the first time, I imagine an experience like watching this video. Hopefully they have a sense of humor.

Soviet-era scifi animation by Vladimir Tarasov. Apparently acid found its way to the Soviet Union as well.
“Supper’s ready” by Genesis (live 1974)

Another epic display of well-mannered madness by the lovely (early prog version of) Genesis. (also: witness Peter Gabriel transform from a very early proto goth into a beautiful flower)

Bjork “Stonemilker” 360 video by Andrew Huang
13 Jun
Another wonderful pairing of Bjork with director Andy Huang. Navigate around the space using the arrows in the upper left corner. Lovely and moving, the video was shot on location in Iceland. I was lucky enough to have Mr.Huang as a student in my animation classes a decade or so ago. He was one of those students you just stood back and watched while trying to clear his path and give him access to tools along the way. He’s a very nice and generous guy to boot. Several of his award winning vdeo have previously been featured on the DPV including his short film “Solipsist” and music videos for Bjork and Atoms for Peace. Check out his website for cool behind the scenes footage:
