77 Million Paintings By Brian Eno

The Long Now Foundation presents the North American premier of the groundbreaking sound and image art installation “77 Million Paintings by Brian Eno”. There are two public events on June 29th and 30th from 8pm to 2am and a private event for Long Now Charter Members on July 1st from 7pm to 2am. All three events will take place at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco and tickets are on sale now. Here’s more information on the Long Now event, 77 Million Paintings project and Brian Eno.

Conceived by Brian Eno as “visual music”, his latest artwork, 77 Million Paintings is a constantly evolving sound and imagescape. The kaleidoscopic display of the projected images and slow, rhythmic evolution of the artwork create a singular experience for the viewer. In addition to the exhibition, the Grand Lobby will set up for conversations and refreshments, including a full bar, and will also have demonstrations of Long Now’s Clock and Library projects.

Apple has a great article about Brian Eno’s 77 Million Paintings project and how he created it using Mac computers.
