Bill Viola
Bill Viola is an artist who isn't a sculptor, painter, or photographer. He instead has a form of art called "video art". He spoke how he despises the violence shown in mainstream media especially it being exposed to young people. His videos have emphasis on emotions or state of minds such as love, life, death, the human conciseness and spirituality. What i found interesting is that in some of his famous works such as "tristan's ascension" he describes water as a double edge sword saying that on one side there is the destructive force such as floods and tsunami's and on the other side there is the side that serves as a life force. It's something that caught my eye since the norm is that fire is the force of life and he said that fire can be used to keep you "warm" and "cook" your food when describing "fire women". Viola is an interesting artist who's work intrigues many including myself and it'll be a pleasure to find out more about him.
