the subject matter that i will be talking about for my Capstone project will be about Gloving is not a crime which is a campaign for the ban of gloving in music festivals and other music events. Gloving, among other forms of light shows such as Orbitals and flow poi’s became incredibly popular among rave and festival goers all over the United States in the early 2000’s. Over the last few years, however, the understanding of gloving shifted from a genre of art to a hazardous drug-related activity by many government officials.
More often than not, light shows are given while sitting down. when there is a large number of light shows happening at an event with an even larger number of attendees sitting down to enjoy them, fire marshals see it as a fire hazard. it also did not help that many government officials saw the act of gloving to be hand-in-hand with drug issues often associated with rave culture. This rapid shift resulted in the ban of gloving at many major music festivals including those run by Insomniac Events.
For those who have tried to keep the culture of gloving alive and well, there have been numerous instances riddled with heavy-handed consequences.
