BioLuminescence

The 16th century painter Caravaggio, it is speculated, used a powder made from dried fireflies to add a photosensitive surface on his canvases.
Let us look to the firefly for a moment, things that glow, and making our canvases bright.  
Natural selection has evolved in certain species the ability to emit light...the firefly for example is an organism that uses this trait to make itself as aesthetically pronounced as possible. 
It aides in the process of sexual selection, and provides an alternative means of communication between potential mates.
Certain branches of the species based in tropical climates can synchronize their lights among groups in a phenomenon know as phase synchronization.
Glow-in-the-dark courtship can start with neon paints purchase-able at Amazon or Oriental Trading
Paint yourself.
Let’s help evolve our own species and synchronize phases together.
Let’s turn occasional flashes into steady glows and make this April’s habitat a more colorful place.

Friday at Coachella: Make it happen at MAGNETIC MAN.
Click that and feel the glow, Navajo. 



 Electrify my body
And you're makin me feel
Like I'm so electric
Everything you do is making me
Glow glow glow

Don't know what to do about it
Can't see how to live without it
All I wanna do is just
Know know know
