Urban shamanism, also known as "digital shamanism" or "digital psychedelia", is a school of thought born out of the convergence of technological changes, art movements, and Eastern philosophies during the late 20th century. It parallels and is often associated with technopaganism. In practice, the digital psychedelic process is the fusion of the biological and technological to achieve profound self-knowledge.
Famous quotes containing the word urban:
“Commercial jazz, soap opera, pulp fiction, comic strips, the movies set the images, mannerisms, standards, and aims of the urban masses. In one way or another, everyone is equal before these cultural machines; like technology itself, the mass media are nearly universal in their incidence and appeal. They are a kind of common denominator, a kind of scheme for pre-scheduled, mass emotions.”
—C. Wright Mills (1916–62)
