The thumb print of god

21 Oct

As this turns to be a week in memory of Benoît B. Mandelbrot on the DPV, I decided to post this video about fractals. Fractals are not just beautiful colorful shapes, but a way of thinking. The fractalic aesthetic has a message: You can zoom in or zoom out but everything is exactly the same. The world is fractalic, Feelings are fractalic, space is fractalic. The first time I looked at the sky and saw fractals I felt like I was discovering the operating system of my mind and the universe.

Notice that the begining of the video shows the video feedback effect that is used in many of the art work that is uploaded to this site by Samas. If you got a video camera at home it’s something worth experimenting with, it’s a lot of fun!

Object Manipulation

14 Oct

There is no spoon. There is no reality. Objects may transform at any given momen. Spirit may transform at any given moment. This is what IT is all about.

This is no longer juggling, this is object manipulation. Everything can be manipulated. It is the triumph of mind over matter. It is a new way to look at your city, objects, and soul, and you can start right now where ever you are.

Mushrooms- The outer space beings

7 Oct

Where did mushrooms originate? Did they come from outer space like Terrence Mckenna suggested? One sure thing is that who ever watched mushrooms grow noticed that even the way they grow is psychedelic. The internet is full of time lapse videos of mushrooms growing. I picked a few of my favorites.

check out this Amanita Muscaria slowly turning into a spaceship:

The next video is a time lapse of a european forrest full of delights:

This last video should be watched on full screen! If you thought the forrests in europe are full of delights, now it’s time for some amazonian forrest:

Alifib- Trip trip Pip pippy pippy pip pip

30 Sep

In almost every powerful trip, there is a moment when the language collapses. Words turn into sounds, sounds turn into colors, textures, and wordless thoughts. When we leave our language behind, we leave ours sense of “self” behind. It’s a beautiful moment of true joy, of unity with the world, of love. Robert Wyatt has a great talent to describe psychedelic situations in a very delicate way. Lately I find it hard to connect with the ultra colorful descriptions and manifestations of the psychedelic state. That colorful visualization or description is true in some way, but it reduces the essence of the psychedelic state-serenity.

In this song, Wyatt documents that moment when language collapses, or as he describes it here: Trip trip Pip pippy pippy pip pip.

Form Vs. Content

23 Sep

On this site we explore the aesthetics of psychedlic, trying to answer the question “what is psychedelic aesthetic?” Recently while i was looking at some videos that I intend to publish on the DPV i realized that we might be doing something wrong.  WE gave in to the seperation between form and content which is the exact opposite message from the psychedelic message. Psychedelics liquefy the boundaries between form and content. During the psychedlic experience what you see is often how and what you feel. Abstract figures turn into emotions and thought. In a way the psychedelic experience is one of the greatest supports to the thought that the medium is the message.

This video of Allan Watts might not be considered psychedlic visualy by some, but my opinionis is that  it’s  visual part is just as psychedelic as the content part. In fact it’s hard for me to seperate the content from the form on this one. The way the nature is filmed, the way that Watts himself is filmed has a psychedelic notion to it. Many times we tend to define fluorescent colors and fractalic shapes  as the essence of the psychedelic visualisation, but by that we dismiss the psychedlic visualisation of harmonic nature. Nature that seems to sing in harmony, every leaf in place, every ant in a harmonic order. I think this video captures this side of the psychedelic aesthetics, not only in content but also in form.

Gathering of the tribe

16 Sep

My first experience with psychedelic consciousness was through psychedelic trance gatherings. It’s been many years since that moment and I had my ups and downs with the psychedlic trance scene, but all in all I still feel a part of this secret tribe. This tribe is diverse, it exists everywhere and at all times. Every summer when the festival seasone peaks the tribe is gathering. People come from all over the world to share this one consciousness this one love.

Painting the city

9 Sep

‘Lightrails’ is a light sculpture with the intention to re-define and re-interpret the exhibition room. An easy but effective mapping technique was used to create seamless projections on both sides of the object. Light-beams were triggered by the visitors and ran through the room, following the surface created by the sculpture. Each “reflection” of the light-beam was accompanied by sound. read more—->

The visual representaion of the sound and effects of the reactable is probably one of the coolest things I’ve seen since the touch screen revolution started.

12 Aug

Much like psychedelics, grafitti artists remind us that everything around us can come to life.
