This film and documentary by Gary Hustwit follows the musician Brian Eno, a visionary figure in audiovisual art. The film itself uses AI software to re-edit anew for each screening; creating an ephemeral and ever-changing cinematic experience. This creates a bridge between the artist, his biography and art at the intersection of human and machine.
A cinematic echo, constantly reshaped at the threshold between human vision and machine rhythm.
