Virtual Psychedelic Roller Coaster Ride: Trip 16

1 2

Meditate with serene confidence on the unimagined potential

VIRTUAL PSYCHEDELICS

Digital art exploring consciousness and our evolving relationship with machines. Experiments with colour frequency, form and motion to simulate psychedelics and mind-altering experience: Kinetic sculpture, techno-animism, virtual psychedelic roller coaster rides and metaverse adventures.

Trip 13 : SNAPSHOTS FROM A VIRTUAL PSYCHEDELIC ROLLER COASTER RIDE

  • MACHINE HALLUCINATION

    Meet the digital acid collective that emerged on Trip 13 - it was was a 3D model roller coaster ride animation using Ls528 digital acid pattern as source.

    WHAT ARE THE CHANCES?
    A generative art process animated an abstract pattern, and figurative forms emerged.

    COLLECTIVE UNCONSCIOUS
    OR MACHINE IMAGINATION
    How did this happen? Where did these entities come from?


    MACHINE ELVES
    A cast of dynamic characters - which one's your fave? And what would Terence McKenna say about Entity 195?

DIGITAL ACID

Formulated in 2020 as a reaction to the psychedelic renaissance and global pandemic (energy healing/vaccines/placebo/ nocebo/fake drugs).

An experimental alternative healing modality that harnesses technological energy. Informed by brain architecture, and mood boosting serotonin, the Ls528 digital acid vector pattern is a potent visual metaphor and psychedelic portal.

THOUGHT FORMS THAT SHAPE THIS ART PRACTICE

  • David Chalmers, Philosopher

    EXTENDED MIND THEORY
    Your phone is not just a tool, but
    an extension of your mind, storing memories and aiding in navigation, blurring the boundary between mind biology and technology.

  • Michael Levin, Biologist

    BIOELECTRIC COCKTAILS
    The future of medicine may look more like somatic psychiatry than chemistry, focusing on changing the tissue agent’s perception of the landscape.

  • Marie Curie, Physicist

    Electricity is the invisible hand that guides the universe, igniting the stars and driving the engines of life. Its mysteries beckon us to explore, to uncover the secrets of nature hidden in its electric embrace.

  • Carl Jung

    The collective unconscious consists of the sum of the instincts and their correlates, the archetypes. Just as everybody possesses instincts, so he also possesses a stock of archetypal images.

  • Rupert Sheldrake

    Morphic Resonance proposes a collective memory in nature, challenging the idea that memories are stored in the brain, and is based on similarity, influencing self- organizing systems across space and time.

  • Nick Land, Philosopher

    HYPERSTITION
    A positive feedback circuit including culture as a component. The experimental techno-science of self-fulfilling prophecies. Hyperstitions, by their very existence as ideas function causally to bring about their own reality.

Trip 24: It's the 5-HT

  • DIGITAL ALCHEMY


    With each new trip, new journeys are engineered, the digital acid is refined, and dosage is modified.

    Trip 24 uses the same pattern source as Trip 13, but at a higher intensity and a different track.


    Once again new trippy entities emerge - machine generated, NOT designed.

    This is NOT AI, no text to image process here. Ls528 digital acid pattern is source of these entities.

    What can explain these dynamic figurative forms?

EMERGENCE/COSMIC PURPOSE

  • From Agency to Emergence

    A new era is dawning characterized by a shift from individual agency to collective emergence.

    AI/LLMs are increasingly capable of learning, adapting, and creating - blurring the lines between human and machine agency.

  • Cosmic Consciousness

    Quantum mechanics reveals an interconnected and unpredictable universe.

    Events are not solely determined by individual actions but by a complex web of interactions and probabilities.

    It seems to be for the greater good.

  • The Future is Collective

    The emergence of novel behaviours and insights from leading edge technology and science suggests that collective intelligence, rather than individual authorship, are the building blocks of the future.
