Week of November 13- Postmodern & Global Art : Video Art and Performance Art- Bill Viola


Bill Viola is one of the most famous artist in the world and could also be called the video art inventor. Viola has created many installations, sound environments, video films, etc. Such works have been used as a way of creating a personal voyage to the visitors. Meaning that whatever they see and feel connected to will exhibit a much more profound meaning. Viola’s goal is to create an internal world and a personal voyage where the visitor is submerged into the metaphysical world. When talking about the metaphysical word as the different stages of his work which are Who am I? Where I am? and Where am I going?. Viola’s speciality is to develop a work that would incite metaphysical interrogations for his visitors by not resembling a classroom because he wants to preserve the world that art provoke. In fact Viola’s clarity and awareness present questions of the human conditions but the way he does is in a completely different way by exhibiting metaphysical interrogations through his works of art.
