Although Moogfest is clearly all-about the music and the dancing, the festival continues to expand their pallet with their latest announcement: a special presentation of Brian Eno’s 77 Million Paintings. Previously only shown within the U.S. in Los Angeles and San Francisco, 77 Million Paintings is “a constantly evolving sound and image-scape born from his exploration of light as an artistic medium and his interest in the aesthetic possibilities of generative software. Presented on a uniquely configured constellation of video monitors, 77 Million Paintings is a serene and beautiful work, slowly evolving and transforming in time such that no two instants are quite the same. It is art that encourages the viewer to slow down and enter a contemplative state, reflecting on the uniqueness of a passing moment that has almost certainly never existed before.”
77 Million Paintings will be exhibited at the YMI Cultural Center and, though kicking off with Moogfest on October 28th, it will continue until late-November.
And that is not all. Eno will also participate in the festival by giving an “illustrated talk,” a separate ticketed event during Moogfest. Below we have a list of all the currently announced artists and you can get tickets here.
