Rez
9 JunRez is a Japanese, synesthetic and psychedelic first person shooter. I like to see it as a game in which the player voyages through the various layers of his consciousness and shoots down his inner demons. Wow!

The beautiful, beautiful, dreamy, mushroom-like psychedelic music for Air’s “Sing, Sang, Sung”. We are all like a small black making it’s way through this strange beautiful universe.

Space Giraffe
5 JunHow about those psychedelic computer games? Are they good to play while on a trip? I’m not sure how one will perform. But what is for sure, is they are beautiful to watch.
Space Giraffe is one of those psychedelic computer games where it seems as if unidentified objects of consciousness are fighting against themselves in a struggle to free the soul out of it’s cage and bring eternal oneness to the world. Enjoy!

Hardcore Trance Psychedelia
2 JunI just love this. Hardcore psychedelic images. Highly trippy and highly effective!
Dumbo the psychedelic elephant
1 JunThis famous excerpt from Disney’s Dumbo (1941) is arguably one of the first psychedelic scenes ever.
The relations between Disney and psychedelics are not clear. According to Peter Stafford’s “Psychedelic Encyclopedia” the chief visualist for Disney’s Fantasia (1940) participated in the mescaline experiments conducted in Germany by Kurt Beringer in the 1920’s. Artist Paul Laffoley claims that Disney himself experimented with Mescaline “On a regular basis” during his stay in Germany in the 1930’s. Many other theories regarding the relations between Disney and psychedelics exist, and you can find out about some of them here in this fascinating article.
In this particular scene, Dumbo drinks from a bucket and slowly begins hallucinating. He sees pink elephants which appear before him out of thin air, and start dancing and singing (This sequence starts around the 3rd minute). By the fifth minute Dumbo’s fantasy world becomes increasingly psychedelic as the pink elephants change shape and colors. It seems the bucket has been spiked.
