“A time-based detail of the range of shapes and patterns within several species of flora and fauna.  Genetic diversity visualized by forms which simultaneously reflect balance, symmetry, and an infinite potential for variation. ”

David Montgomery looks at the world of nature across scales, with a sharp psychedelic eye and beautiful music by Otters Making Music.

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.

What mushrooms did she eat?

25 Jun

The title of this video of this video on YouTube sounds derogatory, but after watching the video itself, it really makes me laugh.

There is something so incredibly cool about people who are really really stoned, or for that matter, maybe just don’t care about social conventions.

This girl is really expressing herself, and to me, this is one of the most beautiful things to watch.

Baby Jesus celebrates his birthday

24 Jun

This week, I celebrated my 33rd birthday. Being 33, which is of course the age in  Jesus died of the course, made me think of Jesus, and the time to be reborn.

A friend of mine shared this link on my wall, to congratulate me for my birthday with a psychedelic-pop-Jesus. I was mesmerized.

1990s X Rave – Amazing footage

17 Jun

Watching other people on drugs is fun and interesting even when you are totally sober.  Sometimes, it can bring you back to the way it felt for you when you were buzzing. At other times it is just plain funny and weird to watch.

This 15 minutes movie is taken from a security camera from installed in a 1992 rave where most of the people must haven going on incredibly high doses of ecstasy (Check out the incredible jaw movement of the dude at 2:10).

Ecstasy, incidentally, is not really a psychedelic, only a semi-psychedelic, and is linked to many adverse affects,  so it’s best to learn about it before thinking of giving it a try.

The 1990s D.J. who uploaded this video writes some pretty moving words on YouTube, reminiscing about the times:

“In this video which is actually 4 hour long cut down, you will see how some of the people enjoyed the best music in rave culture. Some people will never see these days and some will have lived them so I dedicate this to you and the friends gained and lost through good and bad times. enjoy…

If you was there say your shout outs as you would have wanted…
If you have lost friends maybe you can add a tribute.

If you want to put a bad comment have some respect and keep it for your self..

This video is surely about the good times… Its about Peace & Love”
