13 SepDATURA: THE DEVIL’S WEED
21 Aug
Mad Mike is a self taught expert on hallucinogenic plants. As a recovering addict/alcoholic, he feels a responsibility to share his knowledge with parents and teenagers about the effects of Jimson Weed. Datura scare videos abound on the Internet, but rarely satisfy the curiosity of inquisitive kids. This short film is intended to inform people about Datura from first hand knowledge of the plant. Mad Mike is a real person who has studied hallucinogens sometimes to his own detriment. Mikes warnings should be heeded and the authors of this film in no way advocate the ingestion of this dangerous narcotic.
Forward – Messe Kopp
5 AugI’m always fascinated by works of art which look at time in a backwards way. The film Memento by Christopher Nolan (To my mind, still his finest creation) is one of my favorite examples, and one of the most amusing (and very recommended) explorations of the hilarious implications of backwards time is the first episode of the third season of Red Dwarf. This new video which was shot in streets of Jerusalem is definitely a new favorite for backwards music clip.

3 AugThis 3Doodler, the world’s first 3D pen might is a new medium for artists, maker and 3D enthusiasts, which might become a portal to whole new world psychedelic artifacts, and is one of Kickstarter’s most psychedelic projects yet.
PSYCHEDEMIA – The Psychedelic Conference Documentary
27 JulOn September 2012 I had the privilege of participating in the Psychedemia Conference, an academic conference about psychedelics and culture which took place in Penn University. The event was mind-blowing and amazing, so I was thrilled to find this documentary movie about it. The film features a great number of psychedelic researchers, thinkers and artists, giving a great intro the current world of psychedelic thinking and culture from a variety of perspectives: medical, ethical, spiritual, cultural and philosophical. I highly recommend it.
Psychedelics birds and fish
6 JulSome of you might remember the psychedelic bird fractals which we featured here a couple of years back. We liked those bird a lot back then but this “Bird Ballet” video really takes the whole bird-fractals thing up by a couple of levels. Beautiful.
And birds are not the only animals which sometimes come together to create beautiful psychedelically transforming shapes. Fish do also, as you can see in the two videos below which remind us once again how psychedelic nature can be.
