Autumnal Equinox Visionary Media Release
“Stretching out like one of the Buddha’s great bejeweled parasols, the term Visionary Art encompasses a wide variety of styles, genres, periods and degrees of abstraction. Definitions abound, but here is my hard crystal: visionary art is art that resonates with visionary experiences, those undeniably powerful eruptions of numinous and multidimensional perception that suggest other orders of reality”
- Erik Davis, ‘True Visions’ www.techgnosis.com
From the depths of the fabled flow, comes the combined forces of a crew of visionaries aligned in the grassy hillocks of central Portugal to explore the present and future of the emerging visionary art culture. This is a source link from a number of art culture communities like Pod Collective (USA), Elfintome (Canada), Beinart (Australia), Zoetic Art (Galactik), Light Science (Canada), Lila (UK), Spectraleyes (Bali), Nectar Temple (USA), and Visionary Revue (France).
Our intention for this media stream is to to create a mosaic message which can open up dialogues on many levels to help give momentum and generate inspiration for visionary art and culture. We wish to send this video out as far and wide as we can. Attached are two sizes of banner that could be used when appropriate. Consider this like Dungeons and Dragons, a gaming system. This gaming system is called ‘Global Media Release’ and our goal is to send it as far and wide as we can. If you can help by posting this media release and video link that would be great. Hoping for front page links, we are also happy to have back end tags in links sections, every portal is a key helping to unlock the network and build visionary art culture community.
“What authenticates the visionary today is the meanings that emerge through them, as they circulate through overlapping communities of perception. The solo artist as modern shaman is an old story. Today the visionary artist is less important than the visionary culture they seed, an expanding planetary network with art as one of its many nodes”

Boom Festival 2008, Portugal
Liminal Media Stream
“Fantastic and Visionary is a journey of self discovery. Along with discovering ourselves, we are discovering, that we are not alone. Fantastic Visionary artists show us that there other possibilities, limitless ones, if we allow ourselves to dream. We are the community that is unafraid to dream.”
- Leo Plaw (www.leoplaw.com)

DEW DROP :
Our cusp culture is borne into an age of deep transformation, ripe with new avenues for expression and artistic evolution. In a world of rapidly dissolving borders and boundaries, the separation between the worlds of the imaginal and the worlds of the material are deepening their weave. With access to the knowledge and history of all cultures of the world, what was once separated by distance and language, is now being melded together. We now have access to the history of art from all different artistic traditions. The modern artist is steeped in influences from all artistic genres and art eras.
Fueled by the worldwideweb and vast evolutions in the quality of communications technologies, artists everywhere are being empowered to share their work with an increasingly global audience. Nodes, collectives, forums and galleries are emerging to represent countries, continents and even newly globalized art culture movements. It is a time potentized with the possibility of a civilization reconnected with its imaginal roots in the dreamy expanses of the limitless human imagination. Art culture represents a return to a resacrelized, respiritualized and revitalized future in which the engines of technoindustrial materialism redirect its energies from plastic toys and thing fetishism to immersive multimedia environments and a reconnection with the natural world.
Advances in communications technology means artists who at one time were
limited to representing in their own country can now share their work globally. In this way living artistic traditions all over the earth are influencing and being influenced by each other simultaneously. A global art culture is getting connected and with it come undreampt of potentials for collaborative artistic evolution. There is a new sheen on the surface of what art means for human culture and what potentials it has to shape the context into which the future culture is being birthed.
