BRIAN ENO
b. 1948, United KingdomBrian Eno is an English musician, composer, record producer and visual artist known as one of the principal innovators of ambient music and generative painting. He attended Roy Ascott’s influential and experimental ‘Groundcourse’ at Ipswich College, which sought to reinvigorate art education as a cybernetic process and where tests were designed to disrupt creative preconceptions.
As a visual artist he has been exhibiting regularly since the late 1970’s. His work is dedicated almost exclusively to the possibilities that the medium of light provides. In 2009, Eno was given the very rare invitation to exhibit on the iconic sails of the Sydney Opera House in Australia, achieved by using powerful projectors to throw the light across Circular Quay.
