Altered States released on DVD Video

Glenn McKay's light art will mesmerize you with brilliant colors and music from four decades on this new DVD video release.

In four movements, the Altered States video starts with vintage rock from Jefferson Airplane, 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 video captures McKay's main installation exhibit at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, February-May 1999. Click here for product info.
