Rosemarie Fiore is a New York artist who takes incredible long-exposure photographs of classic SHMUPs (shoot-em-ups).

By recording each second of an entire game on one frame of film, I captured complex patterns not normally seen by the eye.

The results are beautiful, much like the abstract free-form fractals of Electric Sheep. Although I doubt this technique would work very well for any modern bullet hell SHMUPs: one second would essentially equal a static of a million brightly-colored projectiles and my little rocket ship exploding over and over and over again as I tear all the skin off my face.
