Psychedelic art

Psychedelic art gained widespread popularity around the psychedelic music of the 60s and 70s by such musicians as Jimi Hendrix, the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Velvet Underground, The Doors, Tangerine Dream and Pink Floyd. It was often seen in concert posters, album covers, advertising, and comic books.

Psychedelic art has now become popular as the visual component of trance, techno and progressive dance music. It is often scene in visuals, flyers and posters at psychedelic parties, nightclubs and other music events.




The pictures are created digitally and built up rather like an architectural structure. They start with the creation and exploration of a fractal, which then becomes the foundation and background of the picture. But what is a fractal? It is a mathematical representation of chaos - well not exactly - it is more like a computer generated tree that just keeps branching out again and again into infinity.
