 ERIK DAVIS + MARK MCCLOUDSAMPLE THE MICROGRAM +
Now that the official “Psychedelic Renaissance” is upon us, tune in and turn on to this brain-melting trip into the history and art of LSD-25. After his long PhD quest at Rice U, counterculture historian Dr. Erik Davis finally returns to OC with a clipadelic discourse on High Weirdness, focusing on the new generation of academic research advocates and globetrotting ayahuasceros. Davis is joined by the curator of San Francisco’s LSD Museum, the Mission’s own notorious non-felon Mark McCloud, unveiling a visual history of blotter art, and rare scans of the DEA’s own in-house newsletter. From drug-scare clips to Hollywood trip sequences to EDM imagery to Shulgin memorials, tonight’s set and setting celebrate the visual legacy–and continued influence–of “Hofmann’s potion”. And of course a liquid lightshow, by Joshua Crystal Castles Harper!
