This shroomy video is by the animator Steve Scott. If any of you are in NYC this upcoming weekend I recommend you go and check out the Tryptophantasia II – Psychedelic Animation Film Screening. You could check out works by Steve Scott and many other psychedelic animators, and I would be happy to hear your impressions.
The Maya Loop
7 Jul
Look for yourSelf, first of all. Video Feed-Back, (VFB, aka Larsen, OFB) is a metaphor for the process of self-awareness.
God, who is Nature as a conscious self, gazes at himself with wonder – and worlds arise.
All is perfect, beautiful and nonexistent. Whatever you see here is an invitation to observe the observer, the center of perception.
Chemical Brothers – Let Forever Be
6 JulAn amazing kaleidoscopic music clip by the Chemical Brothers. Jumping between dimensions and different perceptions of space and possibilities is what is.

2001: A Space Odyssey
4 JulThis is just another classic of psychedelic visualization. And a gorgeous one it is!
The sequence within the movie is far too long to be reduced to a mere sign or reference to the psychedelic counter culture of the time (’68). It ripps right through the fabric of a reality of symbolic economies by showing itself immune to any reduction of meaning; it has to be watched.
After this sequence an orgy of symbolism takes place (in a baroque “life as dream” setting). But for the time of the flow of images even the anticipated junky for meaning will enjoy the spiritual peace of tripping.
ANIMAL COLLECTIVE – “Lion in a Coma”
3 JulOri Toor had just finished Shenkar A of Design, and this is his final project. Shenkar’s annual exhibition will open on 15/7/2010.
This is gorgeous, Ori! Good luck in real life, and may you bring color and psychedelic goodness to all your future projects!
(Thanks Matan, for the link!)

1 Julwhat can be said about the most famous trip in modern tripping history? maybe just that it started with:
“two bags of grass, seventy five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, asalt shaker half-full of cocaine and a whole galaxy of multicolored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers… also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of budweiser, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls…” (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas).
