At TOUCHPUPPET we aren’t only concerned with visual BRAINAESTHETICS, we are also concerned with mental BRAINAESTHETICS (we are however, much less concerned with redundancy). In this case, Professor Michael Persinger discusses the affects of psychotropic drugs and generated neuro-realities. It’s basically an hour long and I strongly suggest you watch it when you actually have the time.
One of the interesting topics he discusses is the physical affects of creativity and how people like artists and muscians are actually in a state of being “naturally high” during their creative processes.
RON ENGLISH was a busy man this election season, canvassing the US plastering copies of his graphically disturbing “Abraham Obama” hybrid portrait on city walls across the expanse of this great country. On hand to capture it all was director KEVIN CHAPADOS whose created the documentary film “Abraham Obama” to chronicle Ronnie’s great political journey including run-ins with like-minded counter culturalists Morgan Spurlock, The Date Farmers, Shepard Fairey, Jack Medicine, David Choe, Sam Flores, and DJ Z-Trip along the way. The film will premiere at San Francisco’s Roxie Theater on Sunday, February 15th at 12:30pm, with an additional screening on Wednesday, February 18th at 7:30pm.
This is a nice little Shepard Fairey primer the USA Network put out upon awarding Shepard with their new “Character Approved” accolade that “honors leading innovators who are shaping American Culture.”
