This is a visualization of a kaleidoscope, as you might have already guessed. This one also reacts to cursor movements, providing non-stop psychedelic visuals. What I like to do with it is to stare into it’s middle until the hypnotizing swirling movement fills my whole field of view. Then it looks like I’m floating inside…
This experimental animation form 1961 seems to be made of imagery coming from the subconscious… It’s abstractness (of the visuals and sounds) makes it hypnotic, in it’s own “epileptic-ish” way.
Looks like a scientific hallucination to me. This Bjork Clip was directed by Michel Gondry.
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…
Logic of Mind (Robert Heel) – 2006
This is a trippy little exploration of the technology of recording video and sound.
These virtual-reality associated vids are recommended by the creators to watch with red&blue 3D glasses! I’ve tried it and I agree.
Just by a small Italian village stands a typical-looking house. But unlike it’s exterior, under it is a secret entrance to a hidden complex of rich and imaginative architecture, the Temples of Humankind of Damanhur.
Built by a small group of devoted people with only hand tools, the halls and corridors of the temples are ornately decorated with so many details the sight of viewing it is almost like a trip through imagination, an open book recording and exhibiting human creativity. This all was inspired by the claimed supernatural visions that the group’s leader, Oberto Airaudi, recieved from a previous life at the age of ten.

A segment from the animated movie based on the comic strip “Little Nemo in Slumberland”. This actualy was one of the first animated films, from 100 years ago, 1911 (and in colour)!
The comic strip “Little Nemo” was created by Winsor McCay between 1904 and 1914. It gained a status of an early classic for it’s imaginative storyline about the hero Nemo having fantastical, surreal adventures during his nightly dreams, every time to wake up safely in his bed just in time, an unconventional style for a comic in those days. It was far from being a simple children’s fantasy, being more threatening and hallucinatory in nature. I think this clip represents it well.
This video speaks for itself! It features a psychedelic-style band, MGMT, discussing psychedelia in various surreal settings. Certainly one of my favorite posts I made here.
And less relatedly, when I got introduced to this excellent band it was by no other than the DPV. It was when their music video for “Time to Pretend” was published here (https://dailypsychedelicvideo.com/2010/05/07/mgmt-time-to-pretend/).
The 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.
