Language About The Unspeakable ~ Part 2/6 (Terence McKenna) The Top 25 Psychedelic Videos of All Time | The Daily Psychedelic Video To see places 50-26 of the list please click here 2 years ago, when the idea was born to set up a website dedicated to curating one psychedelic video every day, we were still skeptical about how long one could continue, and afraid that after a month or two we’d run out of psychedelic videos to post. Today, in the second year anniversary of daily psychedelic video posts, with more than 700 psychedelic videos on the site, it seems clear that there are many more psychedelic videos out there than any of us would have dared to imagine. Now, with the advent of 3D screen technology and augmented reality glasses, one can only imagine what these might mean for the future of psychedelic video and media. After 700 videos we felt that we now have a preliminary basis to create a pioneering list of the greatest psychedelic videos of all time. So this one is probably the first, and we took the selection process very seriously (indeed, some people thought almost psychotically serious). 25. 24. 23. 22.
Reddit in the red: Why the Internet's front page is still losing money. Being popular has never been Reddit’s problem. The hard part has been capitalizing on that popularity. This week, the social-news bulletin board tweaked its front page, demoting two controversial subreddits—/r/politics and /r/atheism—from the default category list and replacing them with several others, including /r/gifs and /r/explainlikeimfive. In a blog post, the site explained that the demoted subreddits “just weren’t up to snuff.” But some users—probably the same ones who have made /r/politics and /r/atheism so insufferable, come to think of it—didn’t buy it, and insisted there must be some conspiracy. So Reddit CEO Yishan Wong followed up with a post reiterating that the move had nothing to do with advertisers or money. It runs ads, albeit not too many, and not in a flashy way. That’s it. Yep, the site is still in the red. The fact is that making money online as a media company remains extremely difficult.
Afternoon Animation: Kaleidoscope Ft. The Italian National Team Of Gymnastics The perfect way to space out on a Tuesday afternoon, KALEIDOSCOPE by Freddy brings viewers through an abstract paradise of runs, kicks, and jumps courtesy of the Italian National Team of Gymnastics. Created by DLV BBDO and production team abstract:groove, the collective, paired with Director Luigi Pane, experimented with the kaleidoscope effect for dramatic results. Working with 4 thaumascopes of different sizes and shapes, the biggest 9 meters long with a triangular opening of 2.5 meters, and the smallest 1.5 meters in length with a square opening of 60 centimeters, the team worked extensively to achieve the graphic patterns above. Just as interesting as the techniques used were the performers enlisted: The Italian National Team of Rhythmic Gymnastic 'le Farfalle', choreographed by their trainer Emanuela Maccarani. Recently we were able to speak briefly with Director Luigi Pane, who filled us in on his process: EDxSummit intro: The Power of X
Deep-sea gigantism Examination of a 9 m (30 ft) giant squid, the second largest cephalopod, that washed ashore in Norway. In zoology, deep-sea gigantism, also known as abyssal gigantism, is the tendency for species of invertebrates and other deep-sea dwelling animals to display a larger size than their shallower-water relatives. Examples of this phenomenon include the giant isopod, the giant amphipod, the Japanese spider crab, the king of herrings (an oarfish of up to 12 m), the deepwater stingray, the seven-arm octopus, and a number of squid species: the colossal squid (up to 14 m in length), the giant squid (up to 13 m), Onykia robusta, Taningia danae, Galiteuthis phyllura, Kondakovia longimana, and bigfin squids. Explanations[edit] It is not known whether deep-sea gigantism comes about as a result of adaptation for scarcer food resources (therefore delaying sexual maturity and resulting in greater size), greater pressure, or for other reasons.

Mesmerising video created using kaleidoscopes & gymnasts Production studio abstract:groove and advertising agency DLV BBDO have created a mesmerising promotional film for sports clothing brand Freddy by using a clever combination of kaleidoscopes and gymnasts. No post-production was used to create the kaleidoscopic effects seen in the film. Instead, abstract:groove designed and built four thaumascopes varying in shape and size in order to capture the footage. Gymnasts from the Italian National Team of Rhythmic Gymnastic "le Farfalle" then performed within the thaumascopes for abstract:groove to capture on camera. Prior to filming, abstract:groove studied small scale models and then simulated the movements in CGI to determine how well they work. You can take a look behind the scenes to find out more about how the film was made by watching the video below.
Erdős number The Erdős number (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈɛrdøːʃ]) describes the "collaborative distance" between a person and mathematician Paul Erdős, as measured by authorship of mathematical papers. The same principle has been proposed for other eminent people in other fields. Overview[edit] Paul Erdős (1913–1996) was an influential mathematician who spent a large portion of his later life living out of a suitcase, and writing papers with those of his colleagues willing to give him room and board.[1] He published more papers during his lifetime (at least 1,525[2]) than any other mathematician in history.[1] The idea of the Erdős number was created by the mathematician's friends as a tribute to his enormous output. Definition[edit] If Alice collaborates with Paul Erdős on one paper, and with Bob on another, but Bob never collaborates with Erdős himself, then Alice is given an Erdős number of 1 and Bob is given an Erdős number of 2, as he is two steps from Erdős. ...

Here's what's inside the Moto X Motorola is set to unveil its new flagship Moto X smartphone August 1st, but even before the company makes things official, The Verge can confirm several of the device's hardware specifications. A source who has used a CDMA variant of the phone firsthand tells us that it features a display in the vicinity of 4.5 inches, a dual-core 1.7GHz Snapdragon MSM8960T processor, 2GB of RAM, and a removable Kevlar rear shell. Some of these details were initially reported by @evleaks. Our source has also offered insight on what to expect from Moto X's software. As Android 4.3 has yet to ship, the smartphone currently runs a "near stock" version of Android 4.2.2. The "always-on" listening mode — which recognizes commands after a user says "OK Google Now" — must be enabled in settings; apparently the Moto X isn't passively listening by default. Update: An earlier version of this article stated that the battery was 1,500mAh. Related Items hardware specs specifications moto x Motorola Cellphones

Les vidéos psychédéliques de Murat Sayginer L'artiste praguois Murat Sayginer a tout à fait raison de s'autoproclamer artiste « visionnaire ». Certes, têtes géantes de pierre ou de cristal, images du cosmos, pyramides et musiques new age sont depuis plus de 50 ans des poncifs de l'ésotérisme de masse. Et il faudrait qu'un nouveau psychotrope surpuissant soit découvert pour qu'un jeune artiste numérique espère étonner ceux qui ont grandi en regardant les VHS de studio K7 ou bien les hors-séries de l'Œil du cyclone consacrés au salon Imagina. Mais l'adjectif visionnaire ne désigne plus depuis longtemps les artistes qui rêvent le futur, mais ceux dont les pupilles et les chakras sont plus dilatés que la moyenne. Murat n'a peut-être pas découvert de nouvelle spiritualité ni même laissé le LSD guider ses synapses, mais ses vidéos sont aussi magiques que celles de Iasos et autres maîtres zen du court-métrage abstrait – la maîtrise du logiciel Cinéma 4D en plus. Le jeune tchèque a bien évolué depuis ses premiers travaux de photoshoppeur.
