I never thought I’d post about Second Life here at 4cr, but as a certified Brian Eno fanatic, I couldn’t resist. The artist’s one-of-a-kind audiovisual exhibit, 77 Million Paintings, is set to be featured in the virtual world later this month in conjunction with a San Francisco opening.

Here’s a brief introduction to the exhibit from the website of The Long Now Foundation:

“Conceived by Brian Eno as ‘visual music’, his latest artwork, 77 Million Paintings is a constantly evolving sound and imagescape which continues his exploration into light as an artist’s medium and the aesthetic possibilities of ‘generative software’.”

On a personal note, this marks the first time I’ve ever been interested in Second Life. I don’t think it’s enough for me to take the plunge just yet, but I’m getting closer.

Click here to head to the official site for 77 Million Paintings, where you can learn/see/hear more, and even purchase the DVD, which happens to be perfect for huge HD panel displays and awesome sound systems, both of which I’m lacking at the moment :(
