This is a story about a film about Brian Eno. I chose to file it under "Media" and not "Creativity" because the medium itself - a generative film that is different every time you watch it - is the big news here. And when the life and work of Brian Eno is secondary, that's really big news.

"This year, Eno even stars in a generative documentary about his life as an artist, music producer, and 'sonic landscaper' directed by Gary Hustwit, best known for Helvetica and other non-fiction films on design. The New York Times’ Rob Tannenbaum writes that Eno 'is unlike any other portrait of a musician. It’s not even a portrait, because it isn’t fixed or static. Instead, Hustwit used a proprietary software program that reconfigures the length, structure and contents of the movie.' This suited both Eno’s professional philosophy and his antipathy to the conventional documentary form. 'Our lives are stories we write and rewrite,' Tannenbaum quotes him as writing in an e‑mail. ‘There is no single reliable narrative of a life.'”- Collin Marshall
