A trip gone wrong or a trip gone viral? This might be the most widely viewed psychedelic clip on the YouTube. And still, we have to ask, what’s the deal with the Amanita mushroom?

Fiat Lux
4 MarFiat Lux gives the history of the universe in 3:56. Everything from the big bang, to evolution, to shamanism.
Performed by HUGO (lyricist behind the RAP NEWS), with beat by TREATS (musicfromspeakers.com) and video collage by filmmaker TIM PARISH aka VERB STUDIOS, it is “an ode to the creative muses and the evolution of consciousness”.
The track is taken from the album ‘The Enlightenment Age’ available online through Reverb Nation here, and the video is dedicated “to the brilliant artists and creative minds that have inspired and evolved the human experience into manifesting a visionary society.”
I have a feeling Terrence McKenna would have liked this one.
Superflow – Viusic Piece 11 – Happyday
28 FebIan Clemmer’s work has been previously featured here on the DPV. Later on, I have had the privilege of meeting Clemmer personally last summer and watch this video in an HD Stereoscopic 3D format. Ian is one of the most spectacular psychedelic video artists of our time, and has created an amazing variety of stunningly beautiful films, most of which, like “Nature is Numbers” or the piece which I like to call “21st century Kandinsky”, have never been put online, which is a real real shame. So it might be a good idea to write him on his Vimeo account and try to persuade him to put them online, for us video-junkies out there.
Tall Painting
25 FebWhat a wonderful way to paint your living room. Holton Rower is a young artist who uses a seemingly simple technique of pouring colors – with spectacular results.

The bornless spirit
21 FebLarry Carlson takes us on a journey between the spirit world and the physical world, filled with esoteric symbols, space men, light beings and glowing mandalas.
The Beaded game of Death and Rebirth
18 FebIndian Animator Ishu Patel was making some highly metaphysical, highly imaginative and exquisitely done videos back in the 1970’s. “The Bead Game”, created by Patel in 1978, is a never ending chainof death and rebirth, of things flowing into and out of one another, falling apart, and creating new life. A beaded version of the game of existence.

FREE DILDA – Computer Jesus Refrigerator.
11 FebA Very crazy, very weird, very demonic, very strong, impressive and disturbing video clip from Computer Jesus Refrigerator. Definitely not for fun trips.

Lacerated Memory – The Gruntled
4 FebThe disgruntled’s video clip, “Lacerated Memory” reminded me of the sixties and early seventies psychedelic aesthetics of The Prisoner (1967), The Wickerman (1973) and maybe that weird Polanski film vampire film,”Dance of the Vampires” (1967). The effect is quite chilling and weird but definitely reverberates.
