Viewing single post of blog Its.. an odyssey ..

Of the ‘new’ art of the modern and now  digital era, Bill Viola has been considered a leading figure in this field…                                                                               I find his work immersive and emotionally thought provoking, it reminds the viewer of mortality.Enjoy your life while you have it, is the message i take from it.

Bill Viola ( born 1951 ) is a contemporary video artist who has been at the forefront of video art, choosing it as a powerful medium to discuss and focus on ‘the human condition’ or what it is ‘to be human’…….                                                 The works he creates focus on the fundamental issues of human experiences, such as Birth, Life and Death….                                                                                                   To visually discuss these themes, he utilises the  media of electronic sound, and image technology/video.. showing ( or reflecting ) aspects of consciousness …     Nantes Triptych  1992  Video/Sound installation  4.3 x 9.7 x 16.8 metres.
