77 million paintings

Eno's 77 million paintings was a really interesting piece of art.  I'm glad he is trying to and, for all I can tell, succeeding at translating his installation art into something that is transportable, and can be put into anyone's home.  The process he undertook to achieve this is remarkable.  If I had seen the 77 million paintings without the interspliced interview, I never would have guessed that any of the images weren't 100% digitally rendered.  The fact that he was using a slide projector to create some of this just blew my mind.
I like the concept that when running the program, you will never see the same thing twice.  It brings a freshness to the piece that you don't see in most art.  I would love to see art like this become the norm for unused screens as opposed to just the big blank square in the wall that tvs and computers currently provide.
