Week 8 – on the road, doors of perception – creative film – the beat nicks

An old word to frame a new picture in the period, the beatniks, a subculture of people dropping out of society and starting again. Out with the old in the with new. One of the causes for this movement could have been young people fed up with being told that they were wrong and didn't know anything. Their whole existence has been an experience of being belittled by people older than themselves, then when these young people said "fuck it". They started doing things their own ways, and with no surprise did the oldies act out dazed and confused (when they were the ones who started this in the first place). The cultural phenomenon prompted a new offshoot of media to be developed, even more radical, by people like Arthur Lipsett, a Canadian filmmaker who used discarded films to make his own movies. Re-purposing media. Aldus Huxley opened the doors to his perception by exploring the use of psychedelic drugs (mescalin, LSD). My experiences with psychedelics have been positive but never super enlightening. I've always more or less treated them as a party drug. LSD was my personal favourite. We made mescalin once in an old commission flat, but I couldn't drink the stuff. It was too bitter. My mate Jake said you needed to eat over a foot to feel any of the effects. I could barely get through a glass…the young kid in me wanted to re-enact Hunter. S. Thompson's fear and loathing in Las Vegas experience, but I didn't have the stomach for that bitter green sludge. Oh well, I guess mescalin will have to stay out of my archive of psychedelic experiences….for now.
