The Sundance Film Festival has become the launchpad for an innovative documentary about the influential music figure Brian Eno, simply titled 'Eno'. The film, directed by Gary Hustwit, explores the life and creative process of Eno, known for his pioneering work in ambient and generative music. Notably, the documentary itself is inspired by Eno's concept of generative music, meaning that it offers a different viewing experience each time it is watched, with a staggering 52 quintillion versions. This unique feature has garnered attention, with reviews highlighting the film's compelling portrayal of Eno and its status as a fitting tribute to his dynamic career. Critics like Anthony Kaufman have praised the film's innovative approach, while others have noted the use of generative AI as a perfect tool to document Eno's multifaceted persona.
