UltraWhorld is a psychedelic journey through a swirling, continuously changing universe of intricate organic shapes.

UltraWhorld is computer-generated animation, produced using the author's own custom software, including Whorld (a geometric visualizer, used to design the graphic content) and FFRend (a FreeFrame effects renderer, used to add automated video effects and render the output). Both softwares are free and open-source. For more information, see:

VJ Jeff Mission presents a compressed remix of the classic psychedelic movie "The Trip". Music by New Order. This video was made for VJ V2 (Vello Virkhaus) and Sandra Collins to be used in their DVJ audiovisual performances.

VJ Phi (Jen Rosselli) and VJ Mission perform live visuals at the Phoenix Landing in Cambridge, MA, USA. The technique shown in this piece involves a lightbox, video camera, video mixer, and mesh fabric. Images of the mesh fabric being moved back and forth by hand over the lightbox are captured by the camera. The image is then sent to the video mixer, where a mirror effect is applied. The background is lumakeyed out and replaced with a second image, of live video feedback.

An experiment in live video feedback, "Alien Smile" was created with a flashlight, a camera, a video projector, and an Edirol V4 video mixer providing a horizontal mirror effect. First, light from the flashlight is used to create a blob of saturated feedback that forms the mouth. Next, the light is repositioned to serve as the eyes. Bobbing the flashlight up and down changes the amount of light in the feedback loop, affecting the size and shape of the alien smile.
