Interesting new art project by the god-father of ambient and post-punk Brian Eno.
The project uses custom software and scanned Eno's paintings to create new visuals that are synchronized with ambient sound.
For some reason if you google for '77 million paintings' you won't be able to find the official project web site, so here it is: http://77millionpaintings.com/
The Unseen Video is much more than a normal, static music video. It is a video that is affected by the weather and local time from the position of the viewer.
We want to create new synergies between the music, the video and the surroundings of the viewer. Every little change in your environment ensures that you will never see the same video twice. The look of the video might slightly change within an hour, but will have a whole new character in a few months.
