Glenn McKay: Altered States 1966-1999. DVD (2005). Glenn
McKay's light art will mesmerize you with brilliant colors and music from four
decades on this new DVD release. In four movements, the Altered States dvd starts
with vintage rock from Jefferson Airplane (Plastic Fantastic
Lover, Volunteers), set to McKay's early 60's pulsating sensory overload style.
The 70's evolve into a tweaky sound track by Knox Bronson, electronic culture
mastermind, with scenes from McKay's world travels in a highly abstracted form.
The 80's movement travels into pure geometric and color abstractions, with an
uplifting electronic/acoustic soundtrack by Dean Evenson. McKay’s 90's movement
goes deep into fantastic liquid color landscapes with a dark, electronic music
voyage crafted in collaboration with McKay by Greg Jalbert. This DVD captures
McKay's main
installation exhibit (a 4 decade retrospective of video and slides)
at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in 1999: “... brings the viewer into
a strange and beautiful environment fusing light and sound to create a new experience.”
(Robert Riley, SFMOMA Curator of Media Arts). Contains additional 60's
film footage by Scott Bartlett and Jerry Slick. DVD, ntsc, TRT: 64 mins.

Documenting Warhol’s multimedia lightshow with the Velvet Underground and Nico, “Ronald Nameth does with cinema what the Beatles do with music: his film is dense, compact, yet somehow fluid and light. An eerie world of semi-slow motion against an aural background of incredible frenzy. He makes kinetic empathy a new kind of poetry.” (Gene Youngblood) ONLY A FEW LEFT
