Brian Eno lights up Sydney Opera House for global warming

Brian Eno's claims to fame include musician, producer and artist. Now he is hoping his latest work -- an art installation on the Sydney Opera House -- will encourage artists to tackle global warming.

'Luminous' by Brian Eno is projected onto the Sydney Opera House as  part of the Vivid Festival in Sydney Tuesday, May 26, 2009. The  international light and music festival will run from May 26 to June 14.

Eno, who describes himself as a "non-musician," is curating Luminous, a new annual festival of music, art installations and talks organized by the Opera House as part of Sydney's music and light festival, Vivid.

As well as playing with other musicians in a series of three concerts, the former Roxy Music keyboard and synthesizer player has designed a lighting display to project onto the sails of the Opera House every evening during the May 26-June 14 festival.

Eno said he hoped the events at Luminous, which include a discussion with environmental legal group Client Earth, would encourage artists to make people think about climate change.
