Brian eno – days of light audio visual project

To coincide with the release of LUX, the album was broadcast at four times during Saturday 17th November 2012 via Brian-Eno.net

Listeners were invited to upload photos as part of an evolving public audio-visual project named ‘DAY OF LIGHT’

The four plays were selected to capture different lighting – from sunrise, day, sunset and night.
Submissions were encouraged under a theme ‘play of light’ and were curated by Eno and his team in real time.

This film archives just 4 minutes of Eno’s favourites from over 6,000 submissions.
