AI-Generated Brian Eno Documentary 'Eno' Debuts at Sundance

A groundbreaking documentary about Brian Eno, titled 'Eno', premiered on January 18 at the Sundance Film Festival. Directed by Gary Hustwit, known for design documentaries 'Helvetica' (2007) and 'Objectified' (2009), the film uses generative AI software called Anamorph to create a unique version for each screening. The AI, developed by the collective Anamorph and digital artist Brendan Dawes, draws from 500 hours of footage—including musical recordings, found footage, and interviews—to reorder scenes and music, offering a different experience every time. The documentary will debut at the Barbican in London on April 20. A music video for the track 'All I Remember', which closes the film, was also generated using Anamorph. The soundtrack, featuring collaborations with John Cale and David Byrne, is expected on April 19. The video includes glimpses of Eno's LED sculpture 'Turntable II'.
