Brian Eno

Each of Eno's installations includes three screens, and each screen draws from a cache of 60 or 400 images. The endless rotation of images allows for 77 million possible paintings. Eno says that he hopes that fine artists don't hang their heads when they realize that his installations produce more paintings in half-an-hour than they can create in their lifetimes.

Brian Eno is probably the most recognizable music producer of the last 25 years. Using his signature "ambient" sound - dense, yet unobtrusive, layers of instrumentation - Eno's shaped the sounds of David Bowie, Devo, U2, and Coldplay. Now, he's channeling his creativity into a visual medium: he's brought his kaleidoscopic video installation "77 Million Paintings" to CSULB's University Art Museum. Here are some selections from the news conference he held 9/25/2009. Come inside to find out how to get to the museum and see the exhibit!
