The number of flat screen spewing useless information to the public as it passes by is abhorrent.  Cable news, ESPN, weather reports, and countless, countless ads.  I’ve been railing against this sickness for over a year – here, here and here.  But now Eno has an idea, called 77 Million Paintings, for something else to do with all those big bright screens.  Put ’em to work in the name of beauty!

Eno also has an iPhone / iPad app for generative ambient music that adheres to his current aesthetic principles.  Here is a visual example of what you can do with Bloom from Gilli.es:

Beautiful stuff.
