Collaborating with artificial intelligence and my buddy Heuman Instrument is simply a dream! Literally! We are making visual dreams!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I\u2019d describe the videos as powerful.<\/p>\n<p>Cyberdelic is a portmanteau of \u2018cybernetic\u2019 and \u2018psychedelic.\u2019 As someone who has spent their entire adult life interested in both concepts, I\u2019m h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>y to report that Silva\u2019s short videos don\u2019t disappoint on either front.<\/p>\n<p>The first video comes on like the initial 45-minutes of an acid <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a> in the desert:<\/p>\n<figure>\n<p>                <iframe loading=\"lazy\" srcdoc=\"&lt;style&gt;*{padding:0;margin:0;overflow:hidden}html,body{background:#000;height:100%}img{position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;object-fit:cover;transition:opacity .1s cubic-bezier(0.4,0,1,1)}a:hover img+img{opacity:1!important}&lt;\/style&gt;&lt;a href=\" https:=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/z4adXHcKznY\/hqdefault.jpg\" style=\"top: 50%;left:50%;width:68px;height:48px;transform:translate3d(-50%,-50%,0)\" height=\"240\" width=\"320\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>        <!--resp-video-container--><br \/>\nThe second in the series is filled with the gravitas and passion that accompanies <i>peaking <\/i><span>on psychedelics<\/span>, the moment when your mind is laid blissfully bare and contemplation becomes epiphany:<\/p>\n<figure>\n<p>                <iframe loading=\"lazy\" srcdoc=\"&lt;style&gt;*{padding:0;margin:0;overflow:hidden}html,body{background:#000;height:100%}img{position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;object-fit:cover;transition:opacity .1s cubic-bezier(0.4,0,1,1)}a:hover img+img{opacity:1!important}&lt;\/style&gt;&lt;a href=\" https:=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/95gDiOTvHus\/hqdefault.jpg\" style=\"top: 50%;left:50%;width:68px;height:48px;transform:translate3d(-50%,-50%,0)\" height=\"240\" width=\"320\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>        <!--resp-video-container--><br \/>\nAnd then there\u2019s the third video, just released today, a mind-bending resolution to the fervor of the preceding entries. In this entry, Silva ties the concepts of cybernetics and psychedelics together. It\u2019s a masterful way to bring the energy down from the second video, thus leaving the viewer in a state of hopeful contemplation:<\/p>\n<figure>\n<p>                <iframe loading=\"lazy\" srcdoc=\"&lt;style&gt;*{padding:0;margin:0;overflow:hidden}html,body{background:#000;height:100%}img{position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;object-fit:cover;transition:opacity .1s cubic-bezier(0.4,0,1,1)}a:hover img+img{opacity:1!important}&lt;\/style&gt;&lt;a href=\" https:=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/9uUguhkUHqQ\/hqdefault.jpg\" style=\"top: 50%;left:50%;width:68px;height:48px;transform:translate3d(-50%,-50%,0)\" height=\"240\" width=\"320\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>        <!--resp-video-container--><br \/>\nI asked Silva what motivated him to create experiences like these. It became immediately apparent that he deeply believes in the messages he\u2019s conveying:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>My passion is storytelling and communication of richly mind expanding ideas. I am interested in finding artful ways of communicating ineffable experiences \u2013 insights of such ravishment, such poetic weight, that ordinary language simply will not do.<\/p>\n<p>British philosopher Alain DeBotton said something like [paraphrasing] \u201cwhile journalists may be more accurate in describing the details of an event than a poet, a poet may nevertheless reveal truth of a deeper sort, beyond the literal grid\u201d \u2014 so I see my role to bring poetic storytelling to big meaningful ideas in the areas of creativity and technology, futurism and innovation, mental health, psychedelics and the singularity in which all those areas overlap!<\/p>\n<p>I want people to have epiphanies when they see my videos.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The videos themselves are literal works of art. It\u2019s apparent that a generative AI model was trained on numerous art pieces, and then its output was used to help create the visuals.<\/p>\n<p>But there\u2019s more to them than just gorgeous, trippy effects. Silva\u2019s speeches are a profound and deep narrative on the nature of mental health, transhumanism, and what the future <em>could<\/em> look like.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps I\u2019m seeing what I want to see, but Silva\u2019s message appears to be that we should stay true to our natural state of being \u2014 curious and evolving \u2014 by celebrating the technology we\u2019ve created, and treating it as an extension of who we are.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the rest of Silva\u2019s work on his \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UClYb9NpXnRemxYoWbcYANsA\">Shots of Awe<\/a>\u201d channel on YouTube.
