Bill Viola video artist

I was privileged to hear Bill Viola speak on thursday. he was a remarkably interesting speaker. all of the artist series talks that i had seen to that point were good but there was so much focus on the individuals work. His talk was much different, instead he showed only three of his pieces and mainly spoke to his concerns about the direction he sees our world heading in. he spoke about so much of what has been on my mind lately it was scary. i.e. communication and its increasing relevance in the world, both negatively and positively, how technology is not the danger it is the intent that is dangerous, he spoke for over two hours so condesnsing it here would be silly...moreover it was a fascinating talk and for all of his accolades and recognitions he was very humble and generous with his time going well over his time with questions etc. anyways below is one of his more well known pieces…
