Brian Eno: 77 Million Paintings at Cal State Long Beach

Brian Eno's current light and sound installation is a very interesting and inspirational experience. Consisting of twelve monitors of different dimensions, images constantly transform and evolve. Colors and patterns emerge and morph into unique configurations, generating mesmerizing video "paintings." The accompanying music constantly evolves as well and sounds emerge from the background and become the primary part of the music.

Eno programmed these sights and sounds using computers and tape decks to create virtually limitless combinations of images and musical compositions. He describes the result as frequently surprising even to himself. Every moment that you spend sitting on sofas in this darkly lit room is a unique one.

In addition to this installation, the exhibit also includes thirteen abstract prints, which reflect the style of the installation.

Exhibit runs until Dec. 13
University Art Museum, CSULB, 2150 Bellflower Blvd., Long Beach
Tues. - Sun. 12pm - 5pm, Thurs. to 8pm (562) 985-5761
