Strobe Party

An art project.

Your standard dance club party, except with attendees who have consented to be photographed.

The strobe light goes off every once in a while (it's probably too annoying for the party to continuously be lit only by the strobe, though maybe not). Cameras are synchronized with the strobe, and take a photo for each flash of the strobe.

With a strobe rate of 5 Hz, this is 300 photographs per minute, or 18000 photographs per hour. Specialized equipment might be necessary to handle the rate.

Strobes are bright, so they allow the camera to collect lots of photons and consequently photograph in high resolution.

The end result is a millisecond-by-millisecond photographic record of an event that normally takes place in the dark.
