Something Primitive

30 Jul

“Something Primitive” is an absoutely experimental film which grabs the user into the strange world of a psilocybin mushroom trip.

“The video takes the viewer through a trip: First they’re a human being, then they are acquainted with psilocybin mushrooms – then they are inside the center of information.”

If you want to know more about the piece and it’s meaning be sure to read the artist’s statement, on YouTube, which starts with the warning that “the video has been identified by Epilepsy Action to potentially trigger seizures for people with photosensitive epilepsy. Viewer discretion is advised.”

Takashi Murakami Superflat Monogram

9 Jul

A Japanese Alice in wonderland falls down the rabbit hole in search of her cellphone and lands in a bizarre world of magical brands. This amazing Superflat Louis Vitton by Takashi Murakami bears resemblance to Murakami’s Superflat First Love, and uses similar motives. It is a yet higher level of the mixture of the worlds of psychedelia, consumerism and magic.

Army of Lovers – Let the Sun Shine In

8 Jul

We, the generation who survived the new-age holocaust of the 1980s, the 1990s and the 2000s, deserve to have our private little revolutions with a tacky aftertaste of saccharine, and sicker than ever before.

Army of Lovers pervert one of the the 1960’s most powerful anthems into an amazing hyper-consumerist vision of curious colorful glowing perversions.

The truth about the universe – (Philip K. Dick’s 1977 matrix speech)

1 Jul

” We are living in a computer programmed reality and the only clue we have to it, is when some variable is changed and some alteration in our reality occurs”. These words sound like straight of the “The Matrix” movie, but they were actually articulated by Philip  K. Dick in 1977. Only that Dick was profoundly serious – he based his words on his a series of intense experiences and revelations he had gone through over the years.

A typical scene from a sci-fi movies shows a crazy scientist explaining to an incredulous crowd some incredibly preposterous new theory which has amazing implications for the plot. Philip K. Dick, perhaps the most psychedelic of all authors, seems like the protagonist of such a scene in this short clip. But you should take him seriously, because we are all part of the fantastic megaplot which appears in Dick’s books. In fact, I won’t be surprised if we find out that we are all only part of Dick’s hallucinations to begin with.

So be suspicious, because the divine conspiracy is here. The empire never ended.
