This documentary from 1996 is a celebration of life.
Also watch these two mash-ups to get an idea of the Blu-ray experience:
Radetsky March / Snail Love
Microcosmos: The grass people
Stills from the film
Kohei Yoshiyuki
The Park
I hesitated to make this post because what it reveals is a rather weird presentation of human desire. But ultimately…
Arata Isozaki
Essence of Form and Values
These drawings and prints by Arata Isozaki visualize the fundamental concepts behind some of his most iconic buildings.
Wilhelm Reich
An introduction
This documentary is a great introduction to the world of Wilhelm Reich. A pioneer on so many levels. His holistic…
Philip Kirkland
Energy Ecstasy and your Seven Vital Chakras
There is already another post about Philip Kirkland but these images I’ve just found deserve to stand alone.
Maoist
Peasant Paintings
Huxian Peasant Paintings are a product of the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Ostensibly painted by amateur worker-peasant-soldier artists, they depict idealized scenes of the thriving socialist countryside.
Seeds
Time Capsules of Life
Seeds are the most complex organs produced by plants, capable of traveling space and time to ensure the biodiversity of our planet.
DeepDream
Algorithmic pareidolia
And the hallucinatory code of perception
In June 2015 Google engineers released a couple of images that caused a stir for everyone who’s able to grasp…
Jonathan McCabe
Generative Flow
I never liked generative art. Until I found Jonathan McCabe. He changed that in an instant.
Huxley’s Legacy
The art of living, loving and dying
At the time when I picked the name The Door Of Perception I didn’t know much about Aldous Huxley and his teachings — because that’s what his writings are, rather than novels.
Malcolm Kirk
Man as Art
Malcolm Kirk traveled to Papua New Guinea in 1967. He returned repeatedly during the ensuing 13 years, documenting the extraordinary tribal decorations he had observed on that initial trip.
De Es Schwertberger
Heavy Light
Over more than fifty years of creating, Schwertberger’s themes and painting style evolve continuously. The path led from a figurative fantastic realism to an almost abstract, process-like creative flow.
John C. Lilly
Sensory Deprivation
Today I spent my first hour inside a floatation tank. If you never heard of it I recommend this article for a start: Sensory Deprivation Tanks. I just started to read a book by John C. Lilly the inventor of the tank. He also combined the lack of external stimuli with large doses of LSD.
Peter Birkhäuser
Light from the Darkness
Few artists have so powerfully evoked the uncanny otherness of the unconscious like Swiss artist Peter Birkhäuser.
Esther Teichmann
The dark viscosity of paradise
The synchronicity of discovering Esther Teichmann at this moment in my life is striking. I am surrounded by lush nature and the promise of the unknown speaks to me beyond language.
Ben Roberts
Expired trips into the blue
Ben Roberts creates photographic contemplations of rural Japan with an unique artistic signature.
Alexey Kashpersky
The uncanny body
Why is it that looking at an open body causes such revulsion?
Saskia Olde-Wolbers
Drowned Worlds in Slow Motion
It is rarely possible that an artist’s vision pierces me to the heart at first glance. Dutch artist Saskia Olde-Wolbers did so. Her clear as a bell vision is unmistakable and unique.
Philippe Caza
Hydrogenesis
Drawings from Philippe Caza‘s Hydrogenesis.
Ana Noble
Third Eye Visions
I’m aware of Ana Noble and her life at the navel of the moon (Mexico City) since I discovered her flickr stream many years ago.
Ayahuasca
The Second Encounter
I just booked my second Ayahuasca retreat. This time for three days only and not in the Amazon but in the Netherlands.
