Psychedelic Yogurts
24 AprThe relation between psychedelic aesthetics and capitalism is one that still needs to be elaborated upon, and those who wish to explore it are welcome to explore “Psychedelic Commericals” category here on the site which features a selection of psychedelic commercials.
The “Shtusim” Yoghurt series has already been featured here on the site, as a prime example for an extremely psychedelic video. The new video from the “Shtusim” Yoghurt series, has the same vibe of psychedelic children in a la la land.
Gaga does it again
16 AprThe opening of Lady Gaga‘s new video is another sounds like a 1950s monster movie and looks like a pornographic version of a 1960s Klaedoscopic film.
To me, Gaga is the greatest Goddess of the age. Something to give your life for, in a world where it sometimes seems as if there is nothing left to believe in. A true spectacular simulacrum that performs the same function as the high priests of ancient Egypt, in creating a spectacle that makes us come to face to face with the transcendent and transcend our everyday lives.
Lady Gaga, to me, is a constant cry, to become more, to become eternal, to go beyond the limits of the possible. Many of her messages are very psychedelic, calling us to accept ourselves as beautiful creatures of the universe and explore our full potential: “”I’m beautiful in my way, ’cause God makes no mistakes; I’m on the right track, baby, I was born this way.””
“This is The Manifesto of Mother M onster.
On board a government owned alien territory in space, a birth of magnificent and magical proportions took place. But the birth was not finite, it was infinite. As the wombs numbered and the mitosis of the future began, it was perceived that this infamous moment in life is not temporal, it is eternal. And thus began the beginning of the new race– a race within the race of humanity– a race which bares no prejudice, no judgment, but boundless freedom. But on that same day, as the eternal mother hovered in the multi-verse, another more terrifying birth took place– the birth of evil. And as she herself split into two, rotating in agony between two ultimate forces, the pendulum of choice began its dance. It seems easy, you imagine, to gravitate instantly and unwaveringly towards good. But she wondered, ‘How can I protect something so perfect, without evil?”

Fiat Lux
4 MarFiat Lux gives the history of the universe in 3:56. Everything from the big bang, to evolution, to shamanism.
Performed by HUGO (lyricist behind the RAP NEWS), with beat by TREATS (musicfromspeakers.com) and video collage by filmmaker TIM PARISH aka VERB STUDIOS, it is “an ode to the creative muses and the evolution of consciousness”.
The track is taken from the album ‘The Enlightenment Age’ available online through Reverb Nation here, and the video is dedicated “to the brilliant artists and creative minds that have inspired and evolved the human experience into manifesting a visionary society.”
I have a feeling Terrence McKenna would have liked this one.
Enter The Void
19 FebWatching Gaspar Noe’s new film is a death and re-birth experience. definitely the most psychedelic film I’ve ever seen, it’s like going into the mind of another person, and experiencing this conciseness change, from normal to a full-on DMT trip, to a near death experience an beyond. The photography and artistic design are absolutely incredible, I have no idea how most of the scenes were shot.

Cyriak – Surrealistic Animal Evolutionism
17 JanIn recent weeks we have been receiving a fair amount of Cyriak links. Cyriak, an after effects artist whose work has already been featured here on the DPV is garnering millions upon millions of YouTube views and quickly becoming a sort of YouTube age Dali (At least in terms of popularity).
Imaginatively and often viciously playing around with simple photos and animations, Cyriak creates dream landscapes which often turn into bizzare nightmares. The result is compelling, though I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it for someone under the influence…
The Chase Film
15 JanWhy is this new Intel commercial for 2nd generation Intel Core i5 processor psychedelic?
Moving between alternate realities has forever been the trademark of the psychedelic (and shamanic) world view. Although here this happens on a computer desktop (Beware, as Terence McKenna said, computers and drugs are both ways to expand consciousness, only different parts of it…), one only needs to re-imagine this clip as the flight of the shaman through alternate realms, flying between parallel window-worlds in his other-worldly mission. And indeed, it seems to me that the dynamics of this video might remind many a psychedelic voyager, of their own trips, running, flying from inner demons, and into new frontiers through a labyrinth of window-worlds. Highly psychedelic!
