VIdeo: Sasha Shulgin, 1987. ‘Varieties of psychedelic experience’
17 06 2011Video of Sasha Shulgin giving a talk about psychedelics in 1987 recorded by Sound Photosynthesis. 1 hour talk and 1 hour of questions: the talk is fun, especially taking into account the year it was given, but questions were rather mediocre in my opinion.
parts 2 – 7 can be found here.

Anonymous Engravings on Ecstasy Pills
1 02 2011Conceptual art book of pressed pill ecstasy designs.
“Like a modern-times archaeologist, Geneva-based artist FREDERIC POST hunted, collected and copied logos of Ecstasy pills during five years. Only interested in the visual dimension of these objects, he compiles his collection of drawings in a book entitled “Anonymous Engravings on Ecstasy Pills”, conferring thus value to an underground iconography of over 500 signs.”
He’s also made ecstasy jewelry.

Liquid Sky & The Living Room, NYC 1994
30 11 2010From 1990 – 1999, Liquid Sky was raver headquarters for NYC. Downstairs was Satellite Records where we bought our choons, upstairs they sold LSDesign clothes and raver gear and often hosted art and DJ’s and had a lounging area. We would gather there to get on buses that took us to out-of-town massives. We were so young and enthusiastic! :D
The reporter takes us into a small rave at an underground venue called The Living Room, which is where I went to my first party.
Ahh memories.
