oh shit i will have to look more into this
this is kind of not completely what i experience but more toned down ofc hard to explain. did you make this song?
i think there is something very very potent about being able to experience and enjoy very raw experience input data as a human and then turn it into thought especially when it is against our ‘will’ and then be able to take a step back and just observe the delusion via meditation or a similar sort of activity

no i just made the video for him
its not what i experience in my head either, but i’ve pretty much given up on trying to recreate that sensation and just enjoy it as my own personal refuge from reality

i think its like im trying to explain a dream to someone. but you trying to recreate that into video form is impressive its close like when the energy is higher there is more pictures and vibration then when the mood changes a different pattern comes and slows down like the line at the start of the video then the tremelo comes in and wobbles
almost smells of The Hard Problem territory haha, humans are very good at explaining experience, but its nearly impossible for us to describe experience
yeah completely agree
it seems to me that the function of ‘art’ is to get as close as possible to the description as we can while being locked into these strange jails of existence

i like to mentally reference their work a lot because they were absolutely amazing (imo) in exploring the description of experience by using seemingly very un-human methods

video art at a time where reality was dictated by film and material permanence
electronics as a distinctly human experience!
(i get goosebumps when i see the object at 9:50 and i know im not actually fully cut off from experience as the person i am; true beauty in that ‘empty frame’)

one of my early childhood memories is that upon learning about the solar system i was sobbing to my sister about my confusion and genuine fear of my tiny taste of reality: she calmly told me “the questions are always better than the answers”
Im still the same fearful and confused 5 year old but it is so much better to approach reality with questions instead of trying to answer them

abit hesitant to post this as its not really related to this topic
6 years ago i got extremely unwell mentally. i started to dwell in my head and started to believe i was special and could comunicate with a higher power like read people minds and shit. while in this manic episode i thought i had been possessed and could manipulate people and control them. i saw “shadow people” and purple orbs flying around the room. i couldnt sleep it terrified the shit out of me it became very dark. i got drunk and high to try get some sleep cocaine calmed me down mentally. one time i ran away from “demons/entities” who i could see with my own eyes drunk in town. alot more interesting shit happened but its late and cant be bothered to explain as its confusing. while being in this mania i dived into youtube conspiracies etc when youtube was abit more edgy and cultish which made reality even more distorted trying to seek similar ideology to life
anyway what caused this i believe was searching for answers and other factors. i think i had a temporary dopamine imbalance or something in hindsight i should of got sectioned. i pushed through it and to this present day hasnt happened since. i had to ground myself i became so detatched from reality. im glad it happened it was very very fun in a weird way and taught me alot of life lessons.
mania lasted about 3 months i think and slowly went away got a history with bi polar in the family on the womens side but im male. but i didn’t want to get tested and put on a load of drugs
dont ask too many questions and yeah i agree dont seek answers, just life your life, have fun, stay in the moment and love your loved ones.
i believe reality is what is in your head and its completely different for anyone else’s if they exist lol who knows? its your reality. you can change your reality with your thoughts. not in a manifestation way, well i guess to an extent but healthy thoughts keeps a healthy mind. you can train it but thats my perception not yours
at the end of the day we dont know what this is and we are not meant to know. just experience it
i know this sounds batshit crazy lol. but i guess you probably relate to some of what im saying and most people can. i realise this comes off as narcissistic too but fuck it lol
tldr = live in the present, dont lose grip on reality
