Are these videos psychedelic or just bizarre?
15 Apr
I have a friend who always sends me video links saying “You’ve got to watch this video! It’s hyper-psychedelic”.
Then, when I watch the videos, they just seem bizarre.
We have endless quarrels about this: He say’s it’s psychedelic. I say it’s  just bizarre.
Then he says: You need to stop making this anachronistic dichotomy between bizarre and psychedelics.
Maybe, I’m wrong. I mean, I’m not very sure, and I admit the boundaries between psychedelic videos and bizarre ones can get blurry.
So what do you think? Are these videos psychedelic or just plain bizarre?

Crystal – INITIATIVE!
8 Mar
This video and song are loosely part of an interesting new underground genre called Vaporwave. Vaporwave is a kind of pop-art that focuses on themes of commoditization, commercialism, and technology. This particular video and song use an early ’90s palette and mock hyper-capitalist values of affirmation, initiative, globalization…and even aerobics with the repetitive pedaling and sequence at 01:55.
Biofluorescent Night Dive – Dahab/Red Sea (Egypt), Masbat Bay/Mashraba, “Roman Rock”
4 MarBio-fluorescence is cool!
Joe from the “It’s OK to be Smart” blog writes about this video:
“A team from the company FireDiveGear investigated some undersea biology off the coast of Egypt during a night dive. What made it special was that they illuminated their subjects with a narrow band of light, between 450 and 470 nanometers, which just so happens to be the only wavelengths that can penetrate the upper layers of the open ocean.
What this gives us is a beautiful fluorescence that is usually masked by contaminating white lights (and daylight at shallower depths). What would normally be too dim for our eyes is brought to life using this special equipment. In a sense, this is what life really looks like at this depth, to those creatures that have evolved to see it.”

Trippy-est Video Ever
5 JanAssaf Be’er sends us a psychedelic video which is not for the faint of heart. Is this one the trippy-est one ever? I am not sure, but it sure has some pretty powerful moments, some of them quite cruel, all of them taken from other videos, but arranged together in a pretty cool way.
