BRIANENO
Artist, musician, producer, song-writer and political activist Brian Eno has been playing with light as an art medium "about as long as playing with sounds"
The breakthrough in thought came in the late 1980s when Eno turned his attention to television monitors as a “source of light rather than a source of images” as TV “was actually the most controllable light source ever invented”, each pixel individually controllable. This lead to experiments with video of shapes of slowly shifting colour, transmitting light via the screen through shapes placed over the television monitor itself. These pieces were shown across Europe, Japan and North American throughout the 1980s and 1990s.
It was at about this time, the idea of using projectors was introduced, especially the notion of having multiple projectors all aligned to the same point, thus giving the opportunity to overlap images.
