3 of 12 short artist - Bill Viola



Bill  Viola was born on January 25, 1951. He is a contemporary video artist. He uses video, sound and new media, and is considered a leader in those who use this in there art pieces. He does work that focuses on human fundamentals such as birth, and death. He also does some pieces on human emotion. There is a set of four different videos that compose one piece that deal with that human aspect on of them is of five actors being astonished. He slows the video way down so the viewer can see how the emotion of the actors changes in detail.


Another one of his videos is called "The Greeting" in this video it is also slowed down in order to show the emotion of the people greeting each other. This video has no noise, but that might allow you to add you noise in the background. So that is a bit about bill viola.
