FMP: Research Articles (links)

To equip myself with further knowledge on the Dada and Surrealist movements, I took to the internet and found some interesting articles outlining these art periods. I also came across a good article about lucid dreaming and this took me onto exploring/researching a cultural movement called New Age. This time brought about a more spiritual take on life, where more and more people were drawn in to the possibility of lucid dreaming, out of body experiences (OBE) and exploring the astral plane. Not only did it bring about a huge desire to explore other planes of existence and experience, but also promoted/celebrated UFO theories, psychic experiences and ideologies of reincarnation. When I read up on the New Age Movement, I was certain that I wanted to include its content somewhere and somehow in my animation.
