brian eno app perpective

A key practitioner for this essay has been musician Brian Eno. He is a very important practitioner in the audio visual realm as he has pioneered a lot of content, theory and literature.

One great quote was one talking about how one of his apps scape was successful because it allows users to craft there own experience with the app. He made a distinction of the fact that the users were composing within the artists preconceived parameters so they were actually just curating their experience.

‘Scape is more of an act of curation rather than composition’  

I read a few of Eno's texts which were insightful reads especially those talking about his previous apps.He has done a lot of work with generative material this was an excellent quote describing the feeling of using a generative experience. 

‘I suppose my feeling about gardening, and I suppose most people’s feeling about garden- ing now, is that what one is doing is working in collaboration with the complex and unpredictable processes of nature’ 

Another really insightful article was a conversation between Brian Eno and artist Grayson perry titled: Brian Eno and Grayson Perry on how the internet taught us we are all perverts

In the article they talk about art, technology and general public opinions about art. They talk a lot about the value of art and how it was changing, which was a particularly interesting part for my writing. I highly recommend reading the article.

here were some particularly good quotes from the text.

"If you think of sex, drugs, art, religion, they all actually offer you the chance to be taken over, or to let go."

"creativity is mistakes and if you can’t accept that, don’t get involved."

they both say a lot about the art community and how it affects the world/culture.
