Bill Viola (born January 25, 1951) is a contemporary video artist. He is considered a leading figure in the generation of artists whose artistic expression depends upon electronic, sound, and image technology in New Media.[1] His works focus on the ideas behind fundamental human experiences such as birth, death and aspects of consciousness.[2] ~Wiki
Viola creates highly conceptual videos, usually incorporating traditional religious and spiritual symbols such as water, fire, baptism, pulpit, pieta, life, and death. His abstract explorations communicate the overwhelming spiritual elements of suffering and catharsis.
