involuntary memories
Investigators determined the victim got on the R train about 8 p.m.. He lit up a cigarette given to him by another rider, filling the train car with smoke. The few people on the train moved to another car. The smoking man went on to quietly die of unknown causes. The train, which originated in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, came to the end of the line at Whitehall St., where R trains stop during overnight hours. About 11 p.m., a man stepped onto the train car, realized the victim was dead and went through his pockets, taking whatever the victim had on him. He then had sex with the corpse before finally leaving the train more than an hour later at 12:10 a.m. Then the body was robbed by a second man.

Directed by Gary Hustwit, Eno (2024) was made using generative software that randomly selects snippets of Hustwit’s interviews with Eno and archival footage every time the film is screened. As a result, no single viewing of the film is the same […] Hustwit and his friend Brendan Dawes, a digital artist and coder, called their generative software system Brain One (an anagram for “Brian Eno”). The software randomly draws from an archive of over 30 hours’ worth of interviews and 500 hours of archival film from Eno’s personal collection to project onto the screen. According to The New York Times, this mathematically means that there are approximately 52 quintillion (or 52 billion billion) possible permutations of this film, making it virtually impossible for someone to see the exact same cut twice.
