Morphing with Jack Dubben

15 Dec

The beautiful videos of  Jack Dubben make excellent, hyper-psychedelic use of  morphing effects.

And here is another delightful animation by Dubben.

Pink Floyd – Arnold Layne

12 Dec

I never get tired of Pink Floyd! This classic song’s clip has a genuinely whimsical feel to it. And it must be quite inspiring while high…

“Timothy Leary on the beach”, could have been an alternate title to this one, which features a Leary soundtrack and spectacular of the sea, a beautiful girl in bikini and the sunset.  A feeling of nostalgia fills this 17 minutes long piece by Alessandro Carvalho which has a distinct 1960’s feel.

Edo Amin – Si Hanetek Hatotali, from Eddie King

8 Dec

Back in 1992 Gidi Dar created the legendary Israeli film “Eddie King“, then Edo Amin created “Si Hanetek Hatotali” (The peak of ultimate disconnection) which became the hymn of an Israeli generation. A great song with a cool psychedelic clip which makes my heart leap with joy.

Rihanna – Only Girl (In The World)

3 Dec

Another (not the first) very psychedelic video from Rihanna.

The makers of this clip warn us that it can become too psychedelic for your brain. Beware.

Oh Diobolo – Jay Saul

26 Nov

Jay Saul has been creating animation videos since 1983, but ” it is only recently that it is approaching possible to show them the way they look uncompressed in full resolution. ”

“The most ordinary things create visuals when one is tripping.  It is when one is not tripping–that is the challenge–to bring things back through the door.”  says Saul.

You can find some beautiful stuff among the dozens of videos featured on his YouTube page here.

Radiohead – Reckoner

21 Nov

First we get to see life in fast forward. Then time stops. A single blink, a single breath, lasts a small infinity.

Interactive Internet Hallucinations

14 Nov

Free and safe virtual hallucinogens for all!

This optical illusion  takes advantage of the “persistence of vision”, a phenomenon of brain chemistry. As explained on the Youtube page of the second version of this illusion posted here bellow:

“Because chemical reactions are not instantaneous, the visual stimulation, resulting in a positive afterimage (i.e. your walls moving) remains in the brain for a certain amount of time. Normally, when something moves, we don’t notice the positive afterimage because this amount of time is usually only a small fraction of a second. You achieve greater persistence of vision in my experiment by staring at the graphic for an extended period of time.” It’s always interesting to know about the things that shape our perception!

There are more videos of this type on the web, but be cautious when looking for them – some of them are tricks hiding unpleasant surprises…
