The Cape Experiment
This report from the Australian Broadcast Corporation's (ABC) Four Corners current affairs program gives an excellent picture of the situation in many (not all) Aboriginal Communities. There are other models for social recovery in Aboriginal communities and the conflicts with the community of Aurukun that are mentioned in this documentary may be the result of disagreements with the process of recovery being offered to them. Aurukun is a very traditional community in many ways and while it also has desperate problems it has also been a politically active site.

The Endless Forest
The Endless Forest is a free, constantly evolving 3D deer simulation game that can be played both alone or in massive multiplayer online mode. Everyone plays a stag (male deer) and there is only non-violent interaction. To enhance the immersion, there is no chat function, but only deer-body-language instead. You can rub trees, sniff other deer, walk, jump, rest or run. The game was originally developed as a screensaver, but a standalone launcher was released afterwards. When you connect to the network, the game seamlessly introduces the other deer online. Inactive deer, but still online (in screensaver mode), are shown sleeping. If you are all alone in the forest, you can roar to try and wake them up.

Hanadensha: Narcotic Guitar
Japanese psychedelic noise gods Boredoms side project. This is a monumentally spacey album, all echoing synthesizers with any drums or guitars processed and made part of the overall groove. The metallic-printed cover art could not be more psychedelic.

Impressions de la Haute Mongolie - Hommage á Raymond Roussel (1974-75)
Salvador Dalí's romance with film and the visual arts is a relatively well-known chapter in the life of the original and controversial Spanish (Catalan) artist (1904-1989). His collaboration with Luis Buñuel in the writing of Un Chien Andalou (1929) and L'Age D'Or (1930) has been extensively examined and documented. However, his explorations of video art with the production of the "documentary" Impressions de la haute Mongolie. Hommage a Raymond Roussel (1974-75) remain an episode of his long and successful creative career only acknowledged by the specialist. The fact that the video production has not been commercialized by, more or less, vague reasons related to copyright disputes did not help to make this innovative work better known. The "videografía", written in collaboration with its director José Montes Baquer and produced with Sony-Cologne and WDR, narrates the exploration of Dalí to the remote land of Mongolia in search of the Great White Mushroom. Salvador Dalí, a consummate expert in media manipulation, invites the spectator to become his accomplice and partner in what it seems a drug-induced "trip" to a faraway and distant land where wonderful treasures are hidden. By means of advanced technology in film and the visual arts of the time (video, electronics, macro photography), Dalí strives to reveal optically the metamorphoses of matter with the purpose of revealing a new artistic reality. The journey --inspired by the psychedelic aesthetic of the seventies and narrated by Dalí in French, with English subtitles that roughly translates his words-- will offer the possibility of exploring the cosmos through the observation of a small metal piece magically transformed by Dalí's secret techniques. The adventure concludes in a Catalan town where the crowd participates in a public ceremony of communal painting (a true "happening") conducted and directed by Dalí. The multitude will worship him as a king (or so he intends) who does not shy away from acting as a clown

You should check out the Boris/SunnO))) collaboration album titeld "Altar" if you are into this kind of experimental guitar-driven stuff and have not already done so. Its a lot more doomy and down-tuned than what Narcotic Guitars seems to be from your description though. Actually, it sometimes sounds pretty much like the outlet of the airdrum that comes out of the crafts facilities at Ålidhemskolan.

This one (Lucifer Songs by Ufomammut (Italy)) is cool too: http://www.stonerrock.com/store/info.asp?item_num=ATH-3199
One entire side of it is one track that is based on synthezisers and samples. It comes with a DVD with kaleidoscopic, psychadelic soundcapes and videos that is impossible to sit through. Its all very DIY and even the cover is handprinted by their art project Malleus (www.malleusdelic.com).
