Alice in Wonderland (1951)

25 Mar

“In a world of my own all the flowers would have very extra-special powers/They would sit and talk with me for hours”. Alice only needed to go down a particular rabbit hole and drink that magic potion and she got to the place she wanted.

A one charming Alice from the classic 1951 Disney version of “Alice in Wonderland”.

KaiKai & KiKi – Takashi Murakami

21 Mar

“Kaikai & Kiki” is 2005 teaser for a longer animation video by Takashi Murakami, which has been featured on the DPV before. While we haven’t been able to find the full film, we are always ecstatic at any new eye-candy from this Japanese genius of pop-culture psychedelia.

epic psychedelic battles of pong

6 Mar

Pong is a classic in the history of video games. While there might not be much to see, everyone will recognize it instantly.

Now Plasma Pong adds a little twist to the familiar and classic Atari design by letting you manipulate the trajectory of the ball through the plasma surrounding it.

Another great thing about the game is that it includes a sandbox mode where you can just play around with the real-time fluid and particle effects for the joy of it.

You can download the game for free (there is also a mac version).

Fiat Lux

4 Mar

Fiat Lux gives the history of the universe in 3:56. Everything from the big bang, to evolution, to shamanism.

Performed by HUGO (lyricist behind the RAP NEWS), with beat by TREATS (musicfromspeakers.com) and video collage by filmmaker TIM PARISH aka VERB STUDIOS, it is “an ode to the creative muses and the evolution of consciousness”.

The track is taken from the album ‘The Enlightenment Age’ available online through Reverb Nation here, and the video is dedicated “to the brilliant artists and creative minds that have inspired and evolved the human experience into manifesting a visionary society.”

I have a feeling Terrence McKenna would have liked this one.

Superflow – Viusic Piece 11 – Happyday

28 Feb

Ian Clemmer’s work has been previously featured here on the DPV. Later on, I have had the privilege of meeting Clemmer personally last summer and watch this video in an HD Stereoscopic 3D format. Ian is one of the most spectacular psychedelic video artists of our time, and has created an amazing variety of stunningly beautiful films, most of which, like “Nature is Numbers” or the piece which I like to call “21st century Kandinsky”, have never been put online, which is a real real shame. So it might be a good idea to write him on his Vimeo account and try to persuade him to put them online, for us video-junkies out there.

Disorder, work in progress…

23 Feb

Disorder is the collision between Kevin Ramseier, dancer & comedian, and François Moncarey, programmer.

Kevin has been educated in the “Conservatoire of Geneva” and  from “Le Studio des bains”, is found of new scenic expressions. François, was educated at “Les Gobelins’, creates video generated by algorithms inspired by the existing movements in nature.
Together, with a transmitter and an infrared camera, they create “Disorder”, a performance mixing contemporary dance and generative video.

Through an audacious choreography, come to assist to the fluctuating mood of an individual with a bipolar behavior, switching from the energy of madness to the most total emptiness…

Here is the beginning of their work in progress, some processing sketches tests, they use memo MSAfluid and toxi library !
