A crazy video about one of the wackiest experiments out there – inviting people to look into lasers while taking DMT to “prove” we are living in a simulation. Whatever you think of it, it’s quite far out.
Such warm wisdom from a bygone era. I think connection is such an important part of the psychedelic experience. Watching this one always brings a tear to my eye :’)
Through a combination of spoken word, sound and visual synthesis, and remixing, the performance tracks science fictional word play and formal experiment from texts to the sonic innovations of films. Some literary and film history, some theory, and some original fictive elements will converge with new soundscapes and alien broadcasts. My work with live sonic psychotechnologies exploits the entwined nature of psychic and cinematic apparatuses while drawing on science fiction’s capacity for cognitive estrangement – literally taking us out of our minds. As a work of science fiction in its own right, the performance shifts the emphasis on the “new” in science fiction from history, utopia/dystopia, and analogy toward other states of consciousness and new modes of being in the world. The goal of this exploration of inner/outer space is to document the patterns of sonic and material hybridization that characterize the language and other sonorous objects of science fiction.
