Ashes to snow is one of the most impressively psychedelic films I have watched. It is like a prayer that slowly enfolds on the screen, escorting the viewer through endless realms of devotion. A film which aims to capture that elusive moment of awareness and bring it to the screen. I highly recommend watching the full thing with open eyes and heart and an expanded mind.

Robert Seidel – Magnitude
30 NovRobert Seidel created long-exposure time-based laser drawings based on the mountain terrain of the San Andreas Fault. To begin, Seidel derived each laser pattern from creating digital line drawings: gestural markings suggestive of curve progressions seen within the Richter Scale or tectonic deformations. These minimalist sketches were manipulated into complex transformational sequences scribed by the laser onto the desert’s topology.

Projections in the Forest
17 JulThe projection mapping “bioluminescent forest” is made by artists Friedrich van Schoor and Tarek Mawad.
The artists spent six weeks in the forest fascinated by the silence and natural occurrences in nature, especially the phenomenon “bioluminescence”. They personified the forest to accentuate the natural beauty by creating luring luminescent plants and glowing magical mushrooms that speaks volumes to any visitor that enters the minds of the artists through viewing “bioluminescent forest”.

Psychedelic Mushroom TRIP 4K ~ Who Am I?… A Psilocybin journey
6 JulToday we have something special for you here on the DPV. Steven Anthony Khoury has created a beautiful one-hour video designed to accompany the first hour of a tripping experience and gently ease the tripper into the experience.
As Steven Says:
“I wanted to create a vid that can hand hold people through the first hour of come-up, gently start their trip positively, catapulting them into their psyches with good energy.
This video was designed to remind us of what we hold dear to our hearts: children, happiness, nature, music, the universe, fire, speed, water and love, etc…. It’s not easy to depict so many thoughts into one piece of work, but with a psychedelic video there are no rules.”
The video, which is dedicated to MAPS (Multi-Disciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies) and to the Beckley Foundation, is a description of Steven’s own tripping experiences, he says. It is made of original footage which was shot over a 3 year period in many countries: Australia, US, UK, Guyana, Canada, Lebanon, Malaysia and Brazil, and stock footage obtained from friends and colleagues. Aftereffects were added with Autodesk Maya.
The video has been tested and trialed by a many of Steven’s friends who used it while breaking through to the other side. Steven says that “though not absolutely necessary, the vid does require a person to be inebriated in order to appreciate the introspective thought processes that it tries to portray.”
For my part, I can say that I never saw a one hour psychedelic video which grabs your attention, but this one seemed to do just that and yet keep itself introspective, enriching the experience with beautiful stimulation and very good vibe. So, next time you trip, consider this as an accompaniment video.

Soap Film Incident (2008)

Wash out your third eye with rainbow interference colors… A thin soap film sequence, captured with a light microscope under incident illumination. The visuals are quite remarkable after the halfway point.
