Thomas Huang who was featured on the DPV with his unique psychedelic video style before, has created a new video for Bjork.
I really look forward to see more works by Thomas Huang. I personally think his first video was better, and hope that he will focus on more artistic projects like the first one… but anyhow his style is amazing!

In their visions, ayahuasca shamans say they see the essences that animate living beings, the first property of which is to emit melodies. These essences are considered powerful beings, and ayahuasqueros learn their melodies by singing along. Singing like powerful beings, they learn to see like them, and this gives them knowledge. The melodies that shamans bring back from their visions are called “icaros”; they help navigate the space of ayahuasca consciousness, and can also serve as lifelines when overwhelmed by visions.

A “Mystery tour of a psychedelic painting, accompanied by surreal sound art”.
A Slower Speed of Light is a game developed by the MIT Game Lab and it aims to make the crazy world of special relativity relatable to everyday experience. You can experience the Doppler effect, the searchlight effect, time dilation, Lorentz transformation and the runtime effect all rendered in realtime. And all of this in the familiar setting of a first person platform game with loads of colorful, vibrant giant mushrooms.
You can download the game for free here and study physics all night long.
(Btw, the game is open-source and the code will be released soon. so if you would like to develope a game with an engine that renders relativistic physics in real time…)
