A Generative Film About Brian Eno
I discovered Gary Hustwit’s films when I watched Helvetica. The film not only attracted me to design, but also made me a loyal follower of his work.
When Objectified was showing at the IFC Center, I made sure to watch it. I backed Rams on Kickstarter and wrote a review about it here.
I enjoy Gary’s work for his design focus and film mastery. Even if I’m not interested in the subject (like with Urbanized), I’m captivated by the aesthetic qualities.
Brian Eno is one of the most prolific and influential musicians of our time. He played the synthesizer in English rock band Roxy Music. He pioneered ambient music with albums like Ambient 1: Music for Airports. He produced David Bowie’s Berlin Trilogy, Talking Heads’ Remain in Light and U2’s The Joshua Tree. He contributed to generative music systems through installations and multimedia works.
He has changed the way we think of creativity. His Oblique Strategies, co-developed with Peter Schmidt, help creatives get unstuck. He delivers talks about his theories on art, music, and culture.
