Brian Eno work comes close to being a modern day Pollock drip painting, a branch of automatism. He is British, and perhaps better known as an ambient music pioneer and as a founding member of Roxy Music from many years ago. Eno has pursued several artistic ventures parallel to his music career, including visual art installations, the most recent one being the 77 million paintings project, a virtually impermanent work that presents itself over a period of time, to be experienced upon chance viewing of the the random projections emanating from a computer, programmed to compose the work.
on philosophy
" Thinking is a form of [conscious] action, a necessary precursor to making something beautiful."
Huat LIMon design
"Design may indeed be complex, but I could not yet imagine it to be complicated...A work can be torturously complex, extravagant, excessively vulgar even…or it can be so simple and plain, almost to the point where it is devoid of any embellishment or decoration, I wouldn’t have an issue with either, but when it is neither that it is considered utterly mundane and ugly."
Huat LIMon architecture
Yet there is still a little problem I have to solve in my head, and that is that I think architecture is taking a bit too long to becoming like what good art is, generative and always assuming an emotive role. We have yet to make it possible for us to connect to our buildings as easily as we do with a work of art or a piece of music, or things we adore, like our children or our books.
