Vice magazine produces quite a lot of videos on drug themes. One of their remarkable productions is the “on acid!” series, where different people perform different activities while on acid, like performing in an amateur stand up evening, going to interview contestants in the Westminster dog show, or going to watch the monster trucks show. The results are variable, and not always that interesting, but there is a certain charm to the whole thing…
In the episode above, Josh takes drops acid and goes on stage in an open comedy night. The experience proves frightening, disorienting, yet strangely empowering.
This one is the Westminster dog show on acid…
And here is monster trucks on acid

Very smart and efficient way of using painterly filters. The intentionally rough 3D models are brought to life by the teeming brushstrokes.
Whitney has also directed this quite remarkable alternate reality romp:

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…
A colorful tribal video from ZAZAZOZO, whose YouTube channel is full of other psychedelic treats.
This magical video was filmed on February 2, 2010 at the Hotel Sur la Mayor in Morjim.
