“77 Million Paintings” is a sound and art digital software by Brian Eno. This artwork was made by compiling Eno’s past 296 works into a generative code that not only combines up to 4 of them visually at a time, but also generatively pairs music with his artwork. The title was named after the different number of artworks that could be made with said code, 77 million. This work is supposed to highlight Eno’s work with experimenting with light and generative music. Eno also shows this work through art installations at vaarious museums around the world. His work was inspired by minimalist musicians such as Phillip Glass and Steve Reich.
