performing the liquid symmetries of sexuality
We have featured several works by musician, video director and performing artist Planningtorock here on dpv. While sexual identity/diversity is a theme running through her work, pretty often we find it mixed with strong psychedelic aesthetics. “Human Drama” from the upcoming album “All Love’s Legal” is no exception. Maybe it is time to look further into this connection…

By applying the good old auto-tune effect to scientific lectures and “remixing” them he created a series of wonderfully cheesy videos brim-full with trippy visualizations of scientific theories.
Enjoy!
A curious title for a post about top 2013 psychedelic videos. Let me explain…

For this reason we composed this complementary list to the Best Psychedelic Videos list of 2013, which includes some of the best psychedelic videos made in the years preceding 2013 but featured and featured on the DPV in 2013.
