Following up on "my previous post on the Luminous show":http://mog.com/nicki/blog_post/44966 in London...
From the Wired blog, "Compiler":http://blog.wired.com/monkeybites/2007/06/an_army_of_macs.htmlThis weekend, the "Long Now Foundation":http://www.longnow.org/77m/ will host the North American debut of "77 Million Paintings":http://www.77millionpaintings.com/, a new digital art installation by renowned visual artist and musician Brian Eno. The stunning works are a combination of constantly evolving images and sounds, all controlled by a massive bank of Macintosh desktop computers humming behind the scenes.The title of the installation refers to the seemingly infinite number of permutations in sight, sound and setting that can result from the randomly selected elements all interacting as they play back together. Eno refers to the creations as "visual music" -- a fitting description since they reference the spontaneity of a live musical performance.77 Million Paintings runs Friday June 29 and Saturday June 30. A third show on Sunday is open to YBCA members only.
