You think you need drugs to experience some out of this world hallucination? Sure, if you are in the Netherlands, you might want to use a bit of mescaline, which should be legal, but what about us people from the other countries? Isn’t there something similar that can open the doors of perception to a whole new Universe? You bet! Check out this video:


NOTCOT at GLOW: Usman Haque's Primal Source from Jean Aw on Vimeo

This clip was filmed in Santa Monica, CA, at Glow ‘08. Glow is an annual art and music festival with a bunch of cool events and attractions, and this year’s coolest event has been the "Primal Source," a gigantic fountain with projections on it built by Usman Haque. It looks like a gigantic drug-induced hallucination. Projecting laser stuff on walls would have been outdated, but projecting hallucinatory light patterns on veils of water is something you don’t see every day. The agglomeration of psychedelic lights really confuses and adds to the impression you’re being stoned.

Apparently, there was some pot and acid available for the people on the beach, but the light show on its own was enough to drive most of the people crazy. You can hear some of them reacting pretty weird to the psychedelic lights.
