Gucci Spring Summer 2014 Fashion Show, Milan.
Forty-five minutes after thoroughly sucking on your LSD micro tabs or chomping down on acid-drenched gummy bears, you begin to see glimmering fractal patterns swimming into your existence. These streaming projections of intriguingly complex geometry seamlessly spill into your consciousness like some sort of weird, futuristically familiar techno-organic liquid. These omnipresent, neon-colored acidic patterns are seen both internally and externally; whether they are being displayed on the opaquely pink-vermillion screen behind your closed eyelids, or on the titillating surfaces of walls, grass, trees and people's skin. These infinity-containing fractal microcosms invite you to dive into and explore their never-ending mystery. Also available, are the options of gazing into them in hypnotic befuddlement, inevitably losing yourself in a cosmic trance, or to playfully intermingle with them with the sounds of your giggles. The possibilities are endless as you can obviously transform them with your magic wand-like acid fingers, don't forget... don't forget... don't forget.
Meditatively flashing back into these trips I began to envision and contemplate examples of where in our world these psychedelically-inspired patterns are typically found. The most obvious examples include, visionary art (such as the artwork of Amanda Sage, Alex Grey, Android Jones and Pablo Amaringo), glyphs of ancient languages, kaleidoscopic, stained-glass Medieval cathedral windows, Middle-Eastern and Oriental rugs, geometric Islamic art, design and architecture, Tibetan and Shipibo-flavored tapestries, yantras, mandalas, etc. And then, interestingly, a more non-conventional example electrified my brain: Haute Coutre.
