Brian Eno's Ambient Paintings

I had been saving this one to share with you this week, since I am a big fan of Brain Eno, and I was very interested to see his latest works. But the Chronicle Datebook scooped me, so hopefully you saw the review already. That said, I still think this is cool, and it got a good review, so that's a good sign!

Friday and Saturday nights, go to Yerba Buena Center for the Arts to check out Brian Eno's 77 Million Paintings. In the tradition of his ambient music that is self regenerating, he has applied a similar program to a series of graphic elements to create a "kaleidoscopic display" of changing images. Music will also accompany this show, but it was not composed at the same time to go specifically with the images.

YBCA says that there will also be a full bar to cultivate conversations and make this showing an event. Plus, it's open until 2AM, so make it a party! The sponsor is the Long Now organization, the people who have designed a 10,000 year clock, of which Brian Eno is one of the founders. It all comes together now...
