Space Giraffe

5 Jun

How 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 Jun

I just love this. Hardcore psychedelic images. Highly trippy and highly effective!

Psychedelic Gaga?

26 May

Is Lady Gaga psychedelic? According to the most stringent criteria she most certainly is not. She is an extreme product of consumer culture and indeed she does not seem to overtly reference psychedelics or psychedelic culture in her work. Still, watching the amazingly surreal abundance of images, symbols and colors which streams from the screen while watching her music clips, there does indeed seem to be something psychedelic about her – Although admittedly pertaining to a very dark strain of psychedelia which we will most certainly be sure to explore here in the future.

Psychedelic or not, one thing is for sure, watching this video clip while under the influence can prove to be a highly revelatory experience. The only question is: who is being revealed?

The David Lynch Micra commercial

25 May

This commercial gives me the creeps, there is something distinctly eerie about it (Well, it was directed by David Lynch, so what can you expect?) but it is also quite inspirational and psychedelic in its own unique way. Do you speak Micra?

Albert Hofmann’s bicycle trip reanimated

24 May

This is how it must have been on that crucial day on April 16th 1943, in the middle of WWII, when Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann accidentally poured LSD on himself and  inadvertently became the  the first LSD user, actually startkicking the psychedelic movement. The bicycle trip, which became the most famous bicycle trip ever, was actually 3 days later, on the 19th of April, when Hofmann took his second and much stronger LSD dose, but who cares. Beautiful animation! Perfect for an LSD trip, I guess.

Superjail’s Psyhcedelic Trip

22 May

It does not get anymore trippy than this one. Superjail, a series described as psychedelic on Wikipedia, gives us an extreme hypertrip full of shiny colors and references to Yellow Submarine and Timothy Leary.

Une pluie d’or – Michel Drucker Experience

14 May

Lots of 60’s style psychedelic effects in this one, but it is actually quite contemporary, done by the Belgian band “Michel Drucker Experience”.

Shtusim

13 May

This Israeli commercial for yogurt really blew my head off, maybe because I was in the right state of consciousness when I first saw it.
Highly commercialized, highly silly and definitely highly psychedelic. Of course, don’t miss the Amanita Muscaria mushroom shaped house which the kid drives by on his lovely yogurt train.
