Rose*X has created Alien Dreamtime, a fantastic video with three talks by entheobotanist/philosopher Terence McKenna, with visuals by Rose*X, and music by Spacetime Continuum and Stephen Kent. Fantastic organic layering and transitions take you on a intriguing trip for about 60 minutes. They use Bliss Paint, but not until after their video was made. I thank Rose*X for turning me on to this video and Terence McKenna. Alien Dreamtime is now available on DVD from www.magiccarpetmedia.com.

Brian Eno has been using Bliss Paint for a while, including a series of animations for U2's Pop Mart world tour. Eno also created an installation of Bliss animations at the Partobject Gallery. Links: music.hyperreal.org/artists/brian_eno/ and www.enoshop.co.uk/
