Cinématique // juggling, dance and Video !
2 FebUsing different juggling, dance and object manipulation technics, a software (e-motion, self developed), Adrien Mondot and collaborators create incredible shows with amazing real vs. virtual interactions !
Founded in 2004, the company AdrienM has set its goal to research the art of movement using juggling and digital art as a medium to explore the imaginary.
After 3 seasons at the Manege in Reims, during which two shows were created: “Convergences 1.0 ” in 2005 – a peculiar dreamlike exploration of juggling – and ” Retime” in 2008 which deconstructs the temporal phases of juggling , the company is presently in residence at the Hexagone, a national theater based in Meylan (Isere).
This is where, in January 2010, it opened its newest creation: “Cinematique” the 2009 grand prize winner at the “Bains Numeriques” festival of Enghien-les-Bains. Besides its continued work in the world of the stage through wokshops, the company also created a modular exhibit (XYZT) which opened at the Espace Jean-Legendre in Compiegne in April 2010.

The Pig Farmer by Nick Cross
1 FebAmazing mindtwister from Nick Cross. Don’t want to spoil too much, but it’s a dark tale.
“I wish I could talk in technicolor…”
30 JanThis is footage of an experiment from around 1956. A dose of LSD25 is given to a “normal” woman. She is interviewed for the experiment by Dr. Sidney Cohen just before taking the LSD and also while she experiences its effects.
There are so many things remarkable about this! But see for yourself…
Nebulous Soliloquy with PsychoTronic Interface to God
28 JanThis is so very highly psychedelic… A perfect mixture of electronic music, a powerful speech and beautiful psychedelic imagery which blow your mind.
Drifting away with fractals
27 JanI know, we have all seen fractal videos. Hell I think i saw over a thousand videos of fractals of many types, but they are all missing something. Yes the psychedelic experience includes a lot of fractals, but in these videos for some reason the fractals don’t evolve the way they do in the real experience. Fractals cahnge and twist with thought, they have the rythm of thought and are affected by them. When you stare into the fractalic world you stare into your soul, obviously most of the fractal videos miss that. This video on the other hand is the most beautiful fractalic video I’ve seen. I watched it many times and it always sends me on a roller coaster of thoughts. The way the landscape changes on it is the closest I’ve seen to what is experienced during the psychedelic experience.
hope you enjoy it as much as i did.
BTW is it only me who sees this or do other people recognize fields of peyote in some parts of this video?

Hardware: a bunch of midi-controllers, 4 macbooks, 1 beamer and a Camcorder.

Jerry Abrams – Eyetoon (1968)
24 Jan
A classic of psychedelia. Jerry Abrams’s “Eyetoon” is an 8 minute short film, a kleidoscopic torrent of partly disturbing images, myterious shadows and “lysergic sex” made by one of the pioneers of the psychedelic film culture of the sixties.
The German voice which presents the clip in the beginning informs that “at the time, a critic called the film ‘a perfect synthesis of metaphysical, spiritual and sexual feelings'”.
