Brief description of "MOTION,DURATION, ILLUMINATION" chapter-Artists using artificial light such as neon or laser as a medium explored the immateriality of form and color, freeing art from its dependence on external illumination by making it an actual light source in its own right.

First live-action music video of the United Visual Artists (UVA). Comissioned by Warp Films a LED installation "in a disused Welsh slate mine - an audio synchronised field of light contrasting with the rugged terrain. The video consists of our documentation of the band’s marathon 11 hour performance, as well as a series of time lapse pieces from the surrounding geography."
