The result is that having created the seed of the work it becomes unpredictable even to the artist himself - and every viewer also has a unique experience of the painting. The software processes the music that accompanies the paintings in a similar way so the selection of elements and their duration in the piece are arbitrarily chosen, forming a virtually infinite number of variations. The painting is generated from hand-made slides that are randomly combined by the computer using specially developed software. The 77 Million Paintings software disc uses the screen of your computer or television to create a constantly evolving painting. His visual work has been exhibited in galleries across the globe - see partial list below - and installations of 77 Million will be going to the Biennales of both Venice and Milan this year. The revised edition includes a larger archive of images and musical tracks from which the final output can be sampled.Īlthough he is perhaps more famous for his musical output, Eno has had a long career as a visual artist and has worked with generative light compositions in the same way that he has worked with generative music on classic albums such as Music For Airports (1978) and Neroli (1993). On December 4, 2007, Brian Eno released the second, revised edition of 77 Million Paintings (All Saints/Hannibal/Ryko), which sees the continued evolution of Eno's exploration into light as an artist's medium and the aesthetic possibilities of 'generative software.' This groundbreaking release features: Exclusive interview DVD, limited-edition deluxe numbered packaging that includes a 52-page hard-bound book with an extensive essay by Eno covering his career as a visual artist, fully illustrated with previously unseen images and a generative software disc playable on Mac or PC.
