Brian Eno

Posted by Richard Lam in Culture

Met Eno yesterday. That was a pretty big deal for me.

A great speaker, even to the small dozen-or-so media folks our group was. Well-spoken, humble and almost a bit shy. And no, he didn't talk about U2 or Coldplay. He's here for his visual art piece, 77 Million Paintings.

The piece is one of a kind, an ever-shifting palette of colours, patterns, and images. It's a thing of quiet beauty, something my cell phone camera can't nearly do justice.

He's giving a public talk tonight, and, amazingly, tickets are still available. What are you waiting for?

Look for more in next week's FFWD...

PS The backside of that head, to the left of the first picture, belongs to none other than former FFWD editor, Drew Anderson. Happy Swerve-ing, good sir.
