Brian Eno


Eno has spent a great deal of his life sowing creative seeds and “77 Million Paintings” could be considered his most complex and fruitful project. It continues to grow and sprout new ideas, which makes Eno particularly proud. “One of the great breakthroughs of evolution theory is that you can start with simple things and they will grow into complexity,” he says. “This is very unintuitive — it’s one of these things that the human brain isn’t immediately capable of grasping. It doesn’t make sense until you see it. You have the idea that this small thing, which can’t contain that many instructions, produces this hugely complex interwoven, interdependent world. One of the things I like about this piece of work is that they stand as proof of that.”

The Red Book



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Book_%28Jung%29



About the Red Book, Jung said:

The years… when I pursued the inner images, were the most important time of my life. Everything else is to be derived from this. It began at that time, and the later details hardly matter anymore. My entire life consisted in elaborating what had burst forth from the unconscious and flooded me like an enigmatic stream and threatened to break me. That was the stuff and material for more than only one life. Everything later was merely the outer classification, scientific elaboration, and the integration into life. But the numinous beginning, which contained everything, was then.
