iN the previous work statement blog, I was on about my lurve of music. Brian Eno, famous legendary musician(former member of ROXYmUsIC), producer(Bowie, u2, Talking Heads), thinker and holder of a fine art painting degree had a show called 77millionpaintings. Video & sound; it can be bought and installed on your computer. The program claims to generate roughly 77 million paintings as a series of images slide and develop, dissolve and transform. obviously alot of them woulkd be completely indistinguishable, but no milisecond of imagery remains th same. Eno said: "I think of these things as visual music. The screen is not being used to tell a story - which is what screens normally do - but to show a painting that changes all the time... People now have larger screens, but these big objects sitting in their rooms are dormant for a lot of the time. If you’re not actually watching television, what you have is a big black hole in the wall. 77 Million Paintings is intended to occupy that downtime so that, instead of having a dead hole in the wall, you have a living picture."
