Remix 1 - drained

I'm posting a few images for my remix project, just coz I like pootling around on PS.
All of my images are sort of based on the same concept and were inspired by the way I've been feeling in past year or so, and that is worn out, exhausted and drained.

Here are the images I used to make this image:


Flick Flack

I hope this is alright.... It's a bit cheeky of me but I've had the most ridiculous bad luck with cameras, so I just grabbed a snippet from my animation project last semester in electronic arts, looped it and added my own music. I wasn't there when the groups were arranged so I've done it by my lonesome self.
It still shows that I can make a loop and music!!!!!!!!! It shouldn't matter right???? RIGHT?
Yeah.

The Write stuff

Snippet from essay


Psychedelic artists’ association with psychedelic rock music in the 1960’s and 1970’s also includes light shows which accompanied rock concerts. “The Brotherhood of Light”, a group of young artists who were very interested in enhancing the psychedelic experiences of the onlookers in the crowd and themselves was most famously responsible for these light shows. The artists created a technique which projected colourful bubbling liquid visuals which moved on and around the performers and with the vibrations of the music. This effect was created by the movement of oil and coloured dye between large convex lenses on a projector. As the bands would improvise with their music, the Brotherhood would visually improvise along with them, using film loops and slide shows. These artists would use LSD and other psycho-active drugs as a means of inspiration for their shows.

The use of drugs alongside the creation of art is neither a new or old concept. The discovery of new drugs such as 2CB, MDMA (Ecstasy) excited new aspects of the psychedelic artists’ psyche. This came in conjunction with, and was possibly a cause of the rave movement of the early nineties, which helped to spark a new age of psychedelia. This movement took advantage of recent developments of computer graphic software, and enabled psychedelic artists to depict and express their visions even more accurately. The graphic art of this era was also influenced by the bright colours and intricacy of modern graffiti art, which could also be said to have been influenced by psychedelic poster art of the 60’s and 70’s.
