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.

More quotes by Brian Eno
Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature... The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them.
Brian Eno
With all fashion, what we do is play at being somebody else. We play at inhabiting another kind of world.
Brian Eno
When I've finally got the title, I think, Okay, yes, now I know where we are. Now I know what it is. Fine, that must be finished or nearly finished.
Brian Eno
I have lived in countries that were coming out of conflict: Ireland, South Africa, the Czech republic. People there are overflowing with energy.
Brian Eno
In my normal life I'm a very unadventurous person.
Brian Eno
I often work by avoidance.
Brian Eno
Well, there are some things that I just can't get out of my head, and they start to annoy me after a while. Sometimes they're of my own creation, as well - and they're just as annoying. It's not only other people's ear worms that bug me, it's my own, as well.
Brian Eno
Music in itself carries a whole set of messages which are very, very rich and complex, and the words either serve to exclude certain ones or point up certain others.
Brian Eno
I've never used a PC in my life I don't like them.
Brian Eno
For the world to be interesting, you have to be manipulating it all the time.
Brian Eno
It's nice, I think, when people use your music for things you didn't think of.
Brian Eno
Some people are very good at being 'stars' and it suits them. I'm grudging about it and I find it annoying.
Brian Eno
Art is not an object, but a trigger for experience.
Brian Eno
The computer brings out the worst in some people.
Brian Eno
The tools are evolving, and people's interests are evolving as well. So, suddenly people like to hear bands, people like Devendra Banhart or the xx, bands that make a kind of virtue of sloppiness. That isn't what they would describe what they're doing, but the fact is they make a virtue of the sort of hand-made nature of what they're doing.
Brian Eno
I'm fascinated by musicians who don't completely understand their territory that's when you do your best work.
Brian Eno
I have a definite talent for convincing people to try something new. I am a good salesman. When I'm on form, I can sell anything.
Brian Eno
In the 19th century, a lot of people were against outlawing child labour, because to do so would be against the very foundations of a free market economy: 'These children want to work, these people want to employ them... what is your problem? It's not as if anyone has kidnapped them...'
Brian Eno
The point about working is not to produce great stuff all the time, but to remain ready for when you can.
Brian Eno
I enjoy working with complicated equipment. A lot of my things started just with a rhythm box, but I feed it through so many things that what comes out sounds very complex and rich.
