This sequence of images is based off the growth cycle of a Fly Agaric mushroom, or Amanita muscaria, and is one of the sprites I made in Photoshop for DINO’s iPad art generative application Akina. According to Wikipedia there are a great many stories surrounding the use of this mushroom, the most interesting of which is the association of the mushroom with viking berserker rages, trance states of Siberian shamans, prescribed to eat along with drinking urine in India and in the origin of Santa Claus. Who knew!
