Attention is what creates value. Artworks are made as well by how people interact with them - and therefore by what quality of interaction they can inspire.

The basis of computer work is predicated on the idea that only the brain makes decisions and only the index finger does the work.
Brian Eno
Image
I think that there's something that I still like about the fact of a package, like the latest report from somebody. Okay, this is what they're up to now this is what they're doing who's working with them?
Brian Eno
Image
I love the sort of ambivalence of this, the ambiguity of something - being, for instance, in a quite busy Mexican restaurant with one of these very gentle tracks playing I remember as being particularly nice.

Brian Eno
Image
I describe things in terms of body movements. I dance a bit to describe what sort of movement it ought to make, and that's a good way of talking to musicians. Particularly bass players.
Brian Eno
Image
I've noticed a terrible thing, which is I will agree to anything if it's far enough in the future.
Brian Eno
Image
I'm always interested in what you can do with technology that people haven't thought of doing yet.
Brian Eno
Image
I often work by avoidance.

As struggles go, being an artist isn't that much of one.
Brian Eno
Image
The artists of the past who impressed me were the ones who really focused their work.
Brian Eno
Image
Rationality is what we do to organize the world, to make it possible to predict. Art is the rehearsal for the inapplicability and failure of that process.
Brian Eno
Image
One often makes music to supplement one's world.
Brian Eno
Image
If you want to make someone feel emotion, you have to make them let go. Listening to something is an act of surrender.
Brian Eno

In the 1960s, people were trying to get away from the pop song format. Tracks were getting longer, or much, much shorter.
