The deadly flowers of Bullet Hell
7 Nov“Bullet hell” is a subgenre of “shoot’em up” which is a subgenre of shooter games. Video games don’t come any harder, any more niche or manic. But in the center of the frentic action one of the most beautiful flowers of the gaming world is blooming: bullets are cast at you in ever changing rhythms, ever evolving patterns of lightpulses and color. If you want to survive you got to get into the groove with them.
Blackhole – ArjanM
6 NovA beautiful video done to a track by ArjanM. The closing sequence, which takes place in a bright field of flowers made me think of Aldous Huxley’s “Heaven and Hell”, where Huxley compares the visions of the psychedelic experience with the ancient depictions of heaven as a field of bright flowers in many of the world’s mythologies.
Galactic Love
4 NovWho ever you will talk with about trance parties will mention The Vibe. It’s hard to define what creates The Vibe, and it’s not that easy to find it. It’s a magical moment when enough people but no too many meet and share magic. On the dance floor you die and reborn every few minutes. It’s happenning probably right now, somwehre around you, in the desert, in the woods, on a hill, in a squat, look for it, be the vibe you want see!
Hermanos Inglesos feat. MeMe – Wanderland

Warning: parts of the video show hardcore unicorn sex.

THX Trailer: Amazing Life
31 OctThis one is a real beauty!
The THX demo trailer needs not a word to promise us “experience of a different kind”. In a way the psychedelic promise was always present in the way new media and new media technology did connect with our daily lives. It expected us to be longing for “new experience”, “new” in a way you could not have had it before. New technology did kind of guarantee you that it wouldn’t be just more of the “same old”. “New ways of seeing”, “new ways of hearing”! once you had to get lost trying to return home to your wife from a defeated troy, had to keep silent while your friends were eaten by a cyclops and stuff like that before you finally saw things with different eyes. But suddenly in the second half of the 20th century all you had to do was “tune in turn on and drop out.” The subject had changed. Experience had changed, indeed.
Everything is alive! all you ever need is different eyes.

28 OctI cann’t believe that I’m uploading a commercial… but hell this one is so beautiful. Too bad you have to be S*#Y if you want to afford yourself 1.5 million colorful balls.
