In case you ever thought that even a bad trip has some truth to tell you, there should be more than enough truth in this show to endure its uncanny “realism”.

Kodachrome Film Test: 1922 in Motion and Color

26 Jun

This is one of the most magical things I ever came across in the www.  I keep coming back to it and it never looses any of its strange emotional power. The pulsing light gives an enchanted life to the dance of picture postcard poses and the color is such an otherworldly hue, you might think the apparatus just blushed because of the overwhelming  intimacy.

When we experience new technologies like the recent reinvention of 3d cinema, we feel a kind of psychedelic stimulation. This little film test might give us an idea of the thrill of the first color motion pictures.

More Uncanny Recursions by Cyriak

19 Jun

This is not the first but the (1, 2, 3…) fourth time that cyriak’s videos are featured here on dpv. Enjoy these recent additions to his  worlds of  uncanny and beautiful recursion (you might even find some resemblance to minecraft’s blocky universe)!

Die Reise ins Glück by Wenzel Storch

12 Jun

Die Reise ins Glück (2004) – that is the german original title of “A Journey Into Bliss”, – is a german underground movie by Wenzel Storch. When the credits were running I turned around in the cinema because I wanted to see if there were others who had witnessed this madness. This is a work of love and anarchic spirit. It’s kitsch and bad taste on lsd. It’s the end of psychoanalysis and most other ways of making sense. It’s something that should not even exist, something that needs you to confirm it’s very own way of resistance.

Thanks to Arjan for reminding me of it.

Light Emerges by Akron/Family

In this video by Kelsey Harris and J Logan Corcoran the dark psychedelic atmosphere is achieved through the most simple means. It’s just like a daisy chain of swirling spotlight petals.

The Psychedelic Glamour of Antony & the Johnsons

29 May

Can the glitter, can the pathos become so intense and  oblivious of self that it suddenly turns psychedelic? What do you think? Is there a trace of paradisian richness in glitz and the arabesque of today?

Minecraft’s Acid Trip Shader Mod

22 May

You might have heard of minecraft. You might even have played it, since you can play the (now outdated) classic version for free in your browser window. You might even be addicted to it and begin to neglect your daily psychedelic fix. You no longer have to split your time between the two.

For those of you who have not stumbled over it yet; Minecraft is your unlimited box of legos poured out between your numberless friends all over the internet (and psst, you won’t have to tidy up your room afterwards… don’t tell your mom I said this).
