Slit-Scan Carnival

4 Jul

This highly weird and trippy clip was produced using the same technique like the amazing Stargate sequence in “2001: A Space Odyssey”, slit-scan photography/animation.

Amazing forest creatures-elves come to save the day.

What mushrooms did she eat?

25 Jun

The title of this video of this video on YouTube sounds derogatory, but after watching the video itself, it really makes me laugh.

There is something so incredibly cool about people who are really really stoned, or for that matter, maybe just don’t care about social conventions.

This girl is really expressing herself, and to me, this is one of the most beautiful things to watch.

Psychedelic Typography

Typography videos has been getting pretty big on the web in the past couple of years.  Now, Olivier Ferland has been doing some pretty amazing work with two beautiful psychedelic raps from psychedelic stand-up prophet Bill Hicks  and from Terence McKenna.

For people like me, text is so intrinsic to meaning, that we  sometimes secretly wish that the whole of reality would be subtitled. These videos manage to make the powerful psychedelic speeches even stronger.

Musings on Terrence McKenna’s Emergence of Language – Jason Saliva

27 May
[vimeo http://vimeo.com/22364186]

“Language is a psychedelic technology”. 11 years after Terence Mckenna’s death people still walk around in parks, contemplate his mind-blowing ideas and break out in unstoppable raps of inspiration . This techno-psychedelic short film gives new perspectives on McKenna’s ideas on language and the stoned ape theory. Enjoy.

“Native American nautalis’, dark chandeliers in space. Most likely filmed inside a diamond genie lamp.”

If the perspective feels weird, just go with the flow.

Psychedelic Video Therapy

13 May

Apparently there are some bucks to be earned in psychedelic videos today. AV3X Digital Meditation Technology is a site which offers “a scientifically proven way to reset your mind” and “give you all the benefits of deep-state meditation without the long winded effort to get there” through the use of  “audio visual brainwave entertainment on DVD”. The benefits: “get rid of stress”, “negative energy” “inner conflict” “neurosis” and “low self esteem”.

The AV3X site has a sample video which can be viewed on the site itself. To me it just looks like another psychedelic video, similar to others we posted here in the past, although admittedly pretty cool and with lots of flickering.

I’m not surprised by the claims made about the product, however.  I always believed psychedelic videos were therapeutic. You know what they say: “A psychedelic video a day keeps the doctor away”. And that’s why we’re here.

This particular one is cut out of pieces out of  “Contact”, “The Fountain”and “2001”, and with an audio track by Millionyoung.

Gang Gang Dance – ‘MindKilla’

7 May

I never really connected to Trance music, no matter how much psychedelics I did. So I am exited to present this trippy dance band: Gang Gang Dance, their album is soon to be released
