, there is a new "generative" documentary about the musician brian eno that does just that, and ben dericoeatre. hey. that version of the film was just for you. that will never be seen again anywhere else in any other time. this is documentary film—maker gary hustwit. if you didn't catch that, he just said that his new film about brian eno, the one we alljust watched, will never be seen again. it's not an error with the file or a mix—up in the screening. this is the intended result. that's because this film is being billed as a generative documentary, a movie that, with the help of generative software, can rewrite itself before every screening. like, we're so locked into this concept of film and television always has to be the same. it's linear, it's static, it never changes. that's a technical constraint that's from 130 years ago. we don't have those constraints with digital technology any more, so why are we still sticking with them? when you create something, you're doing this thing that humans are very good at, which is imagining. for the uninitiated, brian eno is a bit of a legend, no

ben derico has been to meet the bikers who are using technology to build adaptive bikes to make thatden on the road and feature wide wheelbases. occasionally they even place riders kneeling forward. this position puts their centre of gravity higher, something that would make sharp turns difficult on a loose dirt mountain bike trail. but a canadian company think they've developed a solution. i broke my back in 1996 snowboarding, and prior to that i loved mountain biking. i loved snowboarding and climbing. i was like a kid who loved the outdoors in canada, and very early on in my injury, i recognised that i was going to be100% reliant on technology. so, a machinist by trade, christian began building experimental adaptive mountain bikes at home. the problem was always that i would tip, i would tip over, or, like, i would go fast down a hill and corner and, you know, tip to the outside of the corner. for years and years he tinkered with different designs, but nothing worked. so he focussed his energy instead on a custom cross country ski chair that could shift and pivot over undulating s
