3g of shrooms gives exactly the same effect.

u/Realistic_Wind_3409 5d ago
lol exactly, except you see 1000’s of them and they’re all simultaneously changing expressions and then mimicking your expressions and set at multiple spatial planes.

Not with 3g tho

I have honestly never properly dosed. I’ve done it 3 times. 1st I ate caps and it was spectacular. 2nd my buddy and I crushed it up and brewed a tea with it, equally lit. 3rd time I brewed it again and it sent me to the shadow realm and I never did it again haha.

u/Valkgard 4d ago
Thank God I've never had a bad experience with shrooms. I think 3g is the sweet spot, even though it's not that crazy.

u/Realistic_Wind_3409 4d ago
Man if I ever do it again, I’ll stick to that rule. My bad trip was bad enough to deter me from doing it for a long time. I literally became a point in space. Forgot who I was, what I was, every thought I had was so fleeting it would evaporate immediately when it popped up. Imagine severe dementia mixed with crazy geometric shit being imaged mapped over every surface I could see. Always do them with good people you trust in nature lol.

u/Valkgard 4d ago
Oh you had that "ego death" then, I had something similar once. I ate 3g with a friend, we were sitting on a couch and just talking. To this day, we have no idea what the hell we were talking so deeply about, and both of us remember watching ourselves talking in a third person angle, like we were inside the wall behind the couch. Great day.

u/Realistic_Wind_3409 4d ago
That’s awesome. Yeah doing it with like one really great friend is the best. The 2nd time my buddy and I did it we were house sitting for my parents in Spring in Austin. We like frolicked around their vast back yard for the entire night with no concept of time. I remember standing on one leg on a stair banister column for like an eternity. I was losing my shit over the fact that I could stand there just like I was on solid ground. Good times haha.

Came here to say I don’t need lights to see this. Shrooms did the trick for me. I saw a whole group of what I dubbed fern people. AND I’m not ever a “woah shrooms opened a portal to another dimension” kinda guy, but I fully believe those fern people were real in some way. And I was only on .5

u/AlGeee 5d ago
I, for one, welcome the fern people, except they were here first.

In some cultures, they actually do give magic mushrooms to kids. I think it’s an indigenous tribe in Mexico if I remember correctly, it’s a ceremonial thing. They don’t give them a lot- just enough to make the kids giggly and run around and have a good time.
ETA: thought I was replying to u/timeup but oh well lol

u/alBROgge 4d ago
I do as well, and after sitting with them for a bit I decided it was polite to leave them be so sauntered away

u/virtual-hermit- 5d ago
Imagine if you were on shrooms and then saw this.
Because that was me, circa 2012, at a music festival.
This group had like 3 of these set up and it was in a spot where you would see it as you came around a corner.
Yeaaaaah, good times.

LSD will also have this effect and it will change from King Kong, to Godzilla, to a demon skull that then flies towards you screaming at blinding speed, causing you to scream and spill your drink.

Pretty sure this is the art piece 'Monuments' by Craig Walsh.

This absolutely is right. I've seen this a couple of times at Fringe Festival. It's amazing in person

I've noticed a ton of these similar titles that all sound totally AI generated lately. Reddit is getting infested with clankers.

u/Reefer4life 5d ago
Image Projection Mapping is what this is, it’s incredible to see in person and is very achievable however difficult to master. I’ve seen it a handful of times at music festivals and it’s incredible every time.
For an actual answer to this specific incident I’m not sure, but it’s completely doable. I hate that AI has made us not even see legitimate art as real or amazing anymore, we just immediately think - oh it’s too “blank”- a computer made that.

Shining a light on a tree that is moving in a light wind/breeze is not amazing.

Yes BUT Tipper at Suwanee 2023 had this all around the Meadow 🤤 Including this exact face so the Datagrama team must've gotten this artwork from this exhibit which is pretty neat

u/cheap_snark_bait 5d ago
S tier visuals. It hurts my soul that I can’t make the last T&F Suwannee gathering

u/DppRandomness 5d ago
I literally just got my work approval to send. Excited is an understatement. TAS about to turn my brain into jelly

u/HummusLowe 4d ago
My first thought was Datagrama. He and his team did this at 4321, it was unreal. Loved their work at RR too.

For those saying it might be AI: It’s not! This looks to be one of the projections of Craig Walsh’s Monuments, a piece “highlighting the achievements and social impact of six individuals who work in climate, environmental stewardship, or resource justice in the DMV.”
Source: a sign from a park that had this display. I visited the area and on a night walk at I looked up at the trees only to see literal faces in them. Also, any photos/videos seem to automatically blow up the contrast. The faces were super subtle up close.

I've seen similar things before, but it had nothing to do with lighting, and everything to do with what I'd taken a couple of hours beforehand. 8)

I was the projectionist for this art installation. Haha me and my buddies would play cards for 3 hours while running a 20 k projector out of our company van.

Every time I watch videos like this, I have to wonder, is this really not AI-generated?
2
u/evildrew 5d ago
For thousands of years before AI, humans have experienced r/pareidolia. I think this is just art that uses light and shadows to trick our brains into seeing a face that isn't really there.
Just a few years ago, there's no way I would have thought AI could do anything good enough to even raise the question. But I think we'll be OK. We've survived every advance in technology that people feared would bring about the end of the world.

This is only lighting?! Incredible!

u/weirdest_of_weird 5d ago
I don't think it's "only lighting." Look at the features. The mouth, eyes, and nose don't move but the branches move in the wind. I'd guess it's a projector putting the image of a face on the tree.

u/Eddievetters 5d ago
lol. That’s fair. I saw this first thing in the morning and my brain didn’t translate but you’re right.

Now do it with the filter where it makes your eyes and tongue flail around uncontrollably and then you have REAL art.
