one source date November 2009 Groundpaintings are an art form native to Australia . They are created using various minerals to pigment plant material, which is then meticulously arranged by several people to form a picture of a historic event. Overview The creation of a ground painting is a very social event. The picture itself depicts some specific historic ancestor , glorified to be a hero or monster .

The emphasis is not on the materials or the form, but the meaning behind the picture as well as the accompanying performance. Nearly always, the participants paint on themselves as well. The use of certain patterns to symbolize glowing, glittering power are usually limited to crosshatching and dots . In much of Oceanic art, these patterns symbolize an extra power. They are commonly seen on deity figures, the genitalia and thighs of women giving birth , and mythical creatures . Plagiarism of Oceanic art Dream time and dreaming are common translations of a concept common in ocean Oceanic culture that does not easily translate across cultures .

Infobox Album See Wikipedia WikiProject Albums Name 77 Million Paintings Type video Artist Brian Eno Cover 77 Million Paintings by Brian Eno.jpg Cover size Released 2006 Recorded Genre Ambient Length Label All Saints Director Producer Reviews Chronology Last album This album Next album Misc 77 Million Paintings is a software DVD combination by British musician Brian Eno , released in 2006. The release consists of two discs, one containing the software that creates the randomized music and images that emulate a single screen of one of Eno s video installation pieces. The other is a DVD containing interviews with the artist. The title is derived from the possible number of combinations of video and music which can be generated by the software, effectively ensuring that the same image soundscape is never played twice. An accompanying booklet includes a piece by Nick Robertson describing the intention behind the software, and an article by Brian Eno My Light Years describing his experiments with light and music. The software is playable on Windows and Macintosh operating system s. First Edition Far from containing 77 million paintings, the software consists of 296 original works which are overlaid and combined up to four at a time in a simulation of simultaneous projection onto a common screen. The various images are slowly faded in and out asynchronously before being replaced by another random element. In contrast, the music appears to be a single stereo track. Second Edition A second edition of 77 Million Paintings , featuring improved morphing and a further two layers of sound, was released on 14 January 2008.
