'You just mind-raped me!'

That's a common reaction to the films. Working For Each Other is similar to my oeuvre. It makes me think of a sci-fi book: Beggars In Spain. We're hoping that it will improve voter turnout in Te Riu-A-Māui. - I call them psychedelic films: they're soul-revealing. When people tell me how they felt, that's when I get to read their mind. The loops entrain people, and the images provide a meditative focus (yantra). All the clever channel inverts paint the lyrics and add a semiotic layer. This is my second animated concert, after Amanda's Queer Fantasia (Transtasia, 2023). The Transtasia isn't available at the moment. It's sitting on a defunct hard drive. - AI has become uniquely able to model psychedelic experiences. Neural nets produce outputs that are very similar to tripping. My VFX work was driven by depicting my psychedelic experiences for The Dakumentary. This is more polished, but it still cost very little to produce. The sound and video quality was good enough, and it cost a few hundred dollars. In a few years, who knows how good the tech will be?

Amanda's Transtasia was more primitive, but very powerful. That was DMT-related imagery, while Working For Each Other is inspired by the epic LSD trip I had with Sir Paul and Sir Ringo. Remotely, of course, but I recorded Do You Want To Know A Secret while tripping.
