Some kind soul uploaded the complete feature film of the radical jazz musician Sun Ra. It mixes intelligent alien life with ancient Egyptian art, black pride, God, the Devil and ho so wonderful music.
time/space extrusion experiments
4 SepStrata cut is an animation technique invented by David Daniels. He explains:
“Stratacut is the revealed technique in a way but what you are really doing is sculpting time. You are creating these blobby-spaghetti extrusions with a lot of distortions in them. You are calculating how they will be revealed in time. The potential energy that has been sculpted into them is revealed as kinetic energy once it is cut apart. So I tried to figure out all the possible geometric principals on which the twisting of the shapes would yield the ideal result; the blinking eyes, rotating faces, walking, etc.”
the whole interview in “The Art Of the Title Sequence” is highly recommended.
The next clip is from his cult student film “Buzz Box”, I think it’s brilliant, but might freak you out:

giant soap bubbles
30 AugBeautiful things that look like magic are sure to go nicely with whatever state of conciseness you’re at; and there is that “being inside a bubble” feeling you know; and all those double rainbows and morphing shape… Yep, giant soap bubbles are psychedelic.
Cornelius – Sensuous
29 AugAnd yet another beautiful Cornelius video. Not just supplementing the sound, the visuals add a voice of their own. Enjoy the harmony of your senses!
Imagining the Tenth Dimension
28 AugQuantum physics challenges our normal daily perception of the world. scientist Rob Bryanton has a mind blowing video blog that tries to visualize these concepts, along with commentary on conciseness, language, human history and so on . Every video this genius posts turns me onto a dozen different directions, and of course, several other videos. so make sure you have enough time (althogh it seems that the flow of time is just an illusion: our way of sensing of the fourth spatial dimension. apparently we all have A LOT of time) and dive into his wonderful mind expanding blog:
Touch the music
26 AugThe visual representaion of the sound and effects of the reactable is probably one of the coolest things I’ve seen since the touch screen revolution started.
