Psychedelia
noun

Music, culture, or art based on the experiences produced by psychedelic drugs.


Fractal art has often been said to have a psychedelic feel. The use of vivid colors and swirling, complex patterns encourages the stimulation of one’s senses. When analyzing psychedelia, you may be inspired to slip into a psychedelic state to explore the edges of your own mind. Psychedelic fractals are shown to illustrate a state of altered consciousness.
