    I wonder if Fischinger was acquainted with the Work of Albert Hoffman? ;)

    This is demonstrative of the way the avant-garde of the present seeps through layers of acceptability and morphs into the familiar artistic concepts of the future.

    You can almost see the way this work seeps through the consciousness of artists over the decades and ends up as a major, yet indirect influence on familiar ideas in music videos and graphic equalisation today.

    Amazing work, far ahead of its time! :)

    I agree however Marijuana does increase imagination, determination and patience so from that vantage point it might have been used however it seems most creative types are wired that way, anyway I appreciate the information and have a wonderful day/evening.

    I know this was meant as a joke but actually it was. In the 20s a lot of people smoked weed, they called them "party cigarettes" and were sold in brighty coloured wrappers, but it's not a psychedelic drug, so it wouldn't have resulted in a video like this.
