Then with friends Patrick Rochon created a multimedia group and built costumes of lights.
Using video feedback, they performed by
"light-painting" on a giant screen creating a new visual experience.

In complete darkness with the camera shutter open,
you move lights on and around a subject with pen lights,
flash lights or anything that emits light for a single take.
Exposure times may vary between 5 to 30 minutes.
