Got ourselves along to the world’s first generative cinematic documentary by mild mannered genius and forward thinker Gary Hustwit. Must confess it seems that the subject matter of Brian Eno really suited this fresh concept. Will be curious to see if this approach works as effectively with other subjects and individuals. Truly an innovator and one to experiment himself, Brian Eno gives much information about his music making process and history. Being generative, every screening is different, assembled “on the fly”. Astounding where this might lead. A collaboration not made possible without the input of creative technologist Brendan Dawes. The ACMI screening included a chat with the director afterwards, most interesting to me was the many possible ways of releasing such a format – over an extended period of time, version numbers, drip feed or I suppose introducing prompts to trigger a more suited version to your desires might be possible. Living breathing data, that presents a slightly different take or skew with each and every viewing. Must confess I was left with a feeling of wanting to watch it again – to see what I had missed out on! There are apparently millions upon millions of different output variations. Ambitious, astounding and delicious.
