Seems like these guys have a pretty serious budget for animation and are not afraid of variety.

No Brain
17 OctThere are many flavors of psychedelia, and one–I think–is thoughtlessness. In these videos, there’s not too much to contemplate, but I’d say each is a pleasure to watch. Though I can’t recall the source, a few simple words from an album review still stick with me years and years later, “Give your brain the night off.” This weekend I provide you with three samples of 3D animation to do just that.
Tesela Interactive Paper Sculpture
14 OctThis interactive environment is based on geometry exploration, and how using this path can disrupt our perception.
Graphical patterns, visual illusions, dynamic geometry tesselations are algorithmically generated in realtime by the system with the help of the observer.
103 paper pyramids as a canvas to play with, changing the shape constantly like in an illusory metamorphic dream.

Alma Zohar – Psychedelia for babies and children
5 OctIsraeli singer Alma Zohar recently released two exceptionally beautiful psychedelic music clips from her children’s album “Pele” (Wonder). Filled with delicious indigenous imagery, these videos are just the right thing to show your psychedelic babies and kids, and if you have more suggestions for psychedelic videos for babies and children, please let us know, because there is a host of psychedelic parents searching for such materials for their kids.

DyE – Fantasy (NSFW)
4 OctTruly, I wish I didn’t have to ruin some of the surprise in the turn that this video takes, but I’m afraid for this selection I do need to warn viewers that there are some disturbing visuals in this one. The music remains entrancingly chill though.
The Banana Bender – Arik Einstein (1977)
2 OctIn 1977 the Arnei Lipsei and Dudu Shalita from the Ein Gedi studios in Israel created this rare video for the classic 1968 song “Mekofef Habananot” (The Banana Bender) by Israeli singer Arik Einstein. The topic of the song is a mysterious creature that lives in the trees and that is responsible for bending bananas and giving them their curved shape, as well as adding cracks and holes to the various fruits and vegetables.
This was the first colored animation video produced in Israel, and the style reminds one of classic 1970s psychedelic animation. Hope you enjoy it.
