Look for yourSelf, first of all. Video Feed-Back, (VFB, aka Larsen, OFB) is a metaphor for the process of self-awareness.
God, who is Nature as a conscious self, gazes at himself with wonder – and worlds arise.
All is perfect, beautiful and nonexistent. Whatever you see here is an invitation to observe the observer, the center of perception.
James Paterson (Canada) is a visual artist that blends hand-dawned stream-of-consciousness animation with digital media and interactivity, to create complex environments as gallery installations or on-screen web projects. the above piece is a non interactive video of a project that can be more fully experienced here: http://presstube.com/project.php?id=259.
I recommend installing his trippy screensaver: http://www.presstube.com/project.php?id=218
His personal and collaborative works have been shown at the Design Museum in London, London’s Institute of Contemporary Arts, the Pompidou Center in Paris, the Museum of Contemporary Arts in Taipei, the Seoul Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Sundance Film Festival, and the Israel Museum in Jerusalem.
This isn’t really a video in the normal sense of the world. More like an interactive video. However Infinite Oz, Verizon’s psychedelic rendition of sceneries from the sci-fi series Tin Man is just so amazing I had to feature it here.

All those colors! Johannes Itten (1888-1967) was a german Bauhaus artist who was also a mystic interested in esoteric doctrines. He spent his life meditating on colors, trying to decode the spiritual meaning and order of colors using color wheels and diagrams. His book The Art of Color: The Subjective Experience and Objective Rationale of Color explores the philosophical and even religious meaning of colors.
In this video you can see the Itten’s color wheel developing from the primary colors to the secondary colors of first order, to the secondary colors of secondary order.
Colors are frequencies seen by the eye. When we see them, we actually see a code embedded in the world. In the psychedelic experience we often experience colors more vividly than usually, experiencing them as entities engulfing us in this world. This brings us closer’s to Itten’s ideas of penetrating the world of colors and appreciating visual perception for what it is – an act of mystic concentration.
For this reason I find Itten’s work to be very psychedelic. Enjoy!
