gloving

Putting on mitts

Gloving is the electronic dance music subculture practice of performing intricate hand movements while wearing LED-lit gloves, creating mesmerizing light trails and patterns.

Glovers perform at raves and music festivals, often giving personalized "light shows" to individual viewers: He gave me an amazing gloving show during the drop.

The term also covers the medical practice of putting on surgical gloves and, in veterinary contexts, inserting a gloved arm into an animal for examination.
