Eno is a 2024 documentary film about Brian Eno directed by Gary Hustwit. It premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 18, 2024.[2] The film uses a computer program to select footage and edit the film so that a different version is shown each time it is screened.[3][4] The film draws from 30 hours of interviews with Brian Eno and 500 hours of footage from Eno’s archive. [5]

Alongside Hustwit, artist Brendan Dawes designed the Brain One software (an anagram of Brian Eno), the generative technology which powers the film.[6] For live screenings of the film, Swedish technology company Teenage Engineering designed B-1, a hardware version of the generative software. [7]

In July 2024, The New York Times gave an estimate of 52 quintillion possibilities.[8]
