Eno's Constellations

Artist:
As highlighted in the current issue of "Edge":http://www.edge.org/documents/archive/edge202.html
Luminous, a new exhibit of 77 Million Paintings by seminial sound and light artist Brian Eno is about to open in central London at Selfridges' London (400 Oxford St, London W1A 2LR), and run between 27 January to 11 March in the Ultralounge, its dedicated space for special projects.Another Eno installation, Constellations, will be exhibited at the North London BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art from 31 January to 15 April. This is the first time these digital light paintings which are accompanied by a randomly assembled ambient music track have been exhibited in a contemporary UK art gallery.... 'We are used to artists producing defined and finished things, what's interesting about this kind of generative work is that I can't possibly predict the outcome of 77 Million Paintings,' says Eno. More than 300 Eno paintings, most of them scratched or inked onto slides, were digitized to create Constellations (77 Million Paintings). The constantly evolving paintings will be shown on a group of screens installed throughout the Level 4 gallery space.'The 77 million permutations of the work creates unique moments for each viewer and provides a different experience every time,' adds Eno. It's been estimated that it would take over 9,000 years to watch the entire show at the fastest speed available on the software and it would take several million years to witness all the possible combinations it can create.I prefer this one, myself.
