Seattle Psychedelics
Apr 13, 2010
This panel discussion, moderated by curator Peter Lucas, explores the little-known history of experimental films and light shows in the Seattle area in the late 1960s and early 70s, and celebrates the pioneers of this funky, techno-folk multi-media art form.
Panelists include Seattle historian and editor-publisher of the ‘60s counterculture newspaper the Helix, Paul Dorpat; media arts scholar Robin Oppenheimer; and artist and member of Seattle’s Union Light Company, Ron McComb. They will discuss the films, events, techniques and makeshift equipment used during the early days of the Seattle psychedelic movement.
Slides and rare footage from the era will be presented.
