Arise Chapter 01 – Instructions

30 Jan

One of the most psychedelic and ingenious videos in the history of the internet (Even though it was created before the web,  for video tapes). Ivan Stang, founder of the Church of the SubGenius directed this wildly ingenious video clip.

It is interesting to note, that many of the effects of the video tape, according to the speaker are similar if not identical to those of psychedelic substances. However, the tone itself is much more commanding and sinister than that usually associated with psychedelics.

The video looks like some kind of parody on mind control and hallucinations, but what I find to be the most hilarious is the name “Church of the SubGenius”, created intentionally in order to become semantically ossified and for people to start using it and say that they are “part of Church of the SubGenius”  without thinking about what the actual meaning is of the name is…

And here is another one…

Theater of the Mind – Duff Hendrickson

28 Jan

Duff Hendrickson started making psychedelic films in the 1970s and has been active ever since. “The Theater of the Mind” is a highly surreal, highly psychedelic into the innerspace on the human mind, where Hendrickson finds very bizzare phenomena.

Dr. Seuss Meets Burning Man

19 Jan

I just came back from a long trip to a few places, but I’m alwayas looking for the next place.

This video just makes you realize that Dr. Sesuss had a Burning Man going on in his mind on daily basis…

Lakay // Chillom

18 Jan

Psychedelism is not specifically attributed to music or to video, psychedelism is a feeling,
a way of perception…

Lakay is one of my favorite artist in ambient music, his first album was released lately in 2011
and this clip was made by one of my friend (Robert Spline),

enjoy !

Omodaka

13 Jan


Omodaka (also known as Far East Recording) is a Japanese collective of visual artists and musicians. Their multimedia projects fuse traditional Japanese music, electronic elements, animation, motion graphics, and visual art pieces. Their video Asadoya Yunta (above) juxtaposes calligraphy with computer animation, contrasting various dimensions: 2d versus 3d, curvilinear versus rectilinear, organic versus synthetic. The video below, for Hietsuki Bushi, is a psychedelic animation that is as vibrant as the music that accompanies it. I have no clue what it’s about though.


Norman McLaren – Begone Dull Care 1949

12 Jan

Norman McLaren was an oscar winning animation director who did some groundbreaking work from the 1940s to the 1970s. McLaren “Begone Dull Care” from 1949, was painted directly on film, to create a visual representation of Oscar Peterson’s superb piano – perhaps one of the first video clips ever.

McLaren’s work has a special exploratory quality. You can find more of it on YouTube.

Soaring through a spectral star-scape

6 Jan


This supremely chill video was made as an album teaser, but is nevertheless a delightful supernova of color set to the sounds of Stereo Silence.

Fully Adult license – D7

5 Jan

Back in the sixties Timothy Leary used to say (look up his 1966 playboy interview for the full discussion) LSD can give a woman hundreds of orgasms in one trip. This one brought me back to those pleasurable climatic days from the summer of love.
