From 77 Million Paintings to 77 Million Paintings for throwing School
Brian Eno’s artwork 77 Million Paintings combines images and music an almost suggestive flow monitors. It can be described as a light color and sound landscape in flux, or a large-scale digital kaleidoscope.
Enos software makes a random selection of 500 images and combine them in different layers where each picture emerges of long and various takt.På this way the artist has transferred the control to the system where he can not predict how the finished “paintings” will look like. The purely factual result is 77 million unique digital paintings – practically an infinite artwork.
The system does not create its own artwork, but all the pictures that form the basis for 77 Million Paintings has been created beforehand by Eno, with paint, ink, photography and other methods and materials. The work unites a lot of manual artistic work with a screen-based visual expression.
In the artwork 77 Million Paintings for throwing works the same way but with a marked difference and condition – Eno invites students to interact with and expand the work through its own images.
The first “fill” the students’ photographs made in connection with the opening in February 2016, when Eno meets a group of children in a workshop. The software can then be opened again for more pictures of the school’s students.
77 Million Paintings for throwing is composed of eight flat screens that are embedded in a framework of steel mounted on a wall in the school. The piece is installed in a room with open space, social space where children can meet and socialize.
About the collaboration with Brian Eno
Art Consultant Ann Magnusson / PM Public is the person who has initiated and managed the collaboration with Brian Eno, on the basis of its mission for the purchaser Huge Fastigheter AB and the project’s working group HMWX architects and the school principal.
– In my work as an art consultant included it is to think beyond the expected to make interesting and creative connections between a place or context and the right artist.
– this project is of course one of my dream matches – a far-sighted and courageous property, a school that encourages kids to the technical and creative curiosity and development, and a fantastically interesting artist who can both encourage and inspire students in a fun way.
Ann Magnusson contacted Brian Eno, hoping to arouse his interest to cooperate on an art project in a school for children and young people. After a visit with her in Flemingsberg and throw the school – which was then only a large construction site – he accepted.
