Renowned musician and artist Brian Eno, recognized for his collaborations with David Bowie, U2, and Talking Heads, as well as his pioneering contributions to ambient music, will unveil his latest creative endeavor at the Sundance Film Festival.
Directed by documentary filmmaker Gary Hustwit, ‘Eno’ takes viewers on a unique journey through Eno’s creative processes. Hustwit, in collaboration with creative technologist Brendan Dawes, has developed custom generative software that sequences scenes and creates seamless transitions using original interviews with Eno, previously unseen footage, and unreleased music from Eno’s extensive archive. Each screening of ‘Eno’ offers a distinct experience, with different scenes, order, and music, making it a truly live and interactive performance.
The film explores the concept of generativity and infinite iteration, reflecting Eno’s own artistic practice and his exploration of technology in music composition. It delves into the enigmatic essence of creativity, inviting audiences to immerse themselves in Eno’s world.
