Digital Psychedelia by Takeshi Murata
17 Oct
All of these beautiful animations are works of digital media artist Takeshi Murata. I think they express a remarkably pure psychedelic vision and joy in the realm of the digital. Especially the way they develop a sense of space and time and make us look at movement links the digital with the psychedelic.
Synesthetic Reactor
2 OctThe psychedelic experience allow one to relate differently to the world around us: it removes the differentiation between object and subject, and alters the perception of cause and effect. This is why I think an interface should be a major consideration in a psychedelic work of art; and the reson I picked the video above from Thor Johnson’s highly recommended Vimeo page.
These elastic tentacles reminded me of the game pod from David Cronenberg’s “Existenz”. A cyber-psychedelic masterpiece that will get a post of its own… soon!
