	Bill Viola - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bill Viola (born January 25, 1951) is today known for his work in video art.
		If Viola's depictions of emotional states with no objective correlative -- emotional states for which the viewer has no external object or event to understand them by -- are one striking feature of many of his works, another, which has come to the forefront, is his reference to medieval and classical depictions of emotion.
		One remarkable piece by Viola is his "Observance" 2002, which may be taken partly as a response to the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attacks attacks.

	Worcester Art Museum - Bill Viola
		Bill Viola, widely recognized as a leading voice in video art, has been a pioneer in the use of the medium since the 1970s.
		Viola's “study of suffering and ecstasy” is a visual record of conditions under which the mind and body become one (a union common to spiritual and sexual experiences).
		The silent presence of the Viola and the figures' gestures—presented in ultra-slow motion—echo the attenuated body language and emotional gazes of many of the religious subjects in the Medieval gallery, including a crucified Christ, a mourning Virgin, and the Agony in the Garden.

	Guggenheim Museum - Press Office - Bill Viola: Going Forth By Day
		Bill Viola has been a pioneer in the use of video and the exploration of the moving image, creating single-channel videotapes, installations, and a range of artworks that reflect his deep engagement with art history, spirituality, and conceptual, as well as perceptual, issues.
		Viola's new installation is a highly complex project shot on state-of-the-art, High Definition Video technology, and involved the use of a variety of locations for recording, an extremely high level of cinematic production values, and the technical expertise needed to create the individual panels with sophisticated digital processing and post-production editing.
		Bill Viola studied at Syracuse University in the early 1970s, where his exploration with electronic media led him to produce works of sound art as well as video installation.

	Artforum International: Deep TV: Bill Viola's via negativa. @ HighBeam Research (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Viola's working principle for the video is the feeling of 'via negativa' which is a quest for the unknowable and that which is lost from cognition.
		Viola's images devolve into mirages and the mirages devolve into voids: the stream of images flows faster until there is nothing but a blinding, seamless rush of disembodied energy, a continuum in which all sense of sequence is lost.
		Viola's videos are abyssal alembics: all kinds of images are chaotically thrown together, tumbling abstractly in their incommensurateness vet bound by their common character of catastrophe.

	ESSAY:Bill Viola (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Viola functions as video shaman, mystic, psychotic, and artist."5 Light and time are essential materials with which he conducts his metaphysical, at times spiritual search to know and define the self.
		In an interview from Viola's current retrospective he says, "...there is always the necessity of a community and there is the necessity, then, of some reflective aspect, some reflective exchange."11 This applies to the community for which he makes his work, his audience, and increasingly for the subjects of his video installations.
		With this piece as with all others by Bill Viola, the viewer is immersed in the rhythm of nature; immergence and disappearance; the ongoing cycles of life, death and rebirth.

		Viola's single-channel videotapes have been distributed and broadcast around the world, while his writings have been published and anthologized for international readers.
		Viola's achievement is that of an artist who began in a new field, unbounded by tradition and dogma, and who arrived, twenty-five years later, deeply enmeshed in a series of intersecting spiritual traditions, both ancient and contemporary.
		This catalogue has been published in conjunction with "Bill Viola," the first major survey of the artist's work and the largest exhibition ever devoted to an individual video artist, organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art and curated by David A. Ross and Peter Sellars.

	Guggenheim Museum - Past Exhibitions - Bill Viola - Going Forth By Day
		For this work, Viola references fresco painting to create a powerful five-part projection-based installation that examines cycles of birth, death, and rebirth.
		Although Viola's work is primarily engaged with the exploration of the moving image, he has been deeply influenced by and bears a kinship to the great Renaissance artists.
		Viola's command of sound, light, and space; technical mastery; and deep understanding of art and spirituality in Western and non-Western practice come together in Going Forth By Day, transporting the viewer into a deeply reflective engagement, with layers of complexity and inspiration that resonate far beyond the temporal realm.

		Viola: I think it's a great failure that critical discourse today in art which exists supposedly on the edge of some of the higher aspirations w have as human beings — does not encompass the very, very human qualities of our emotional lives.
		Viola: No, I don't think you can assign a notion like a theory to it because the reason that I make my work is to understand.
		Viola: The area of intellectual inquiry, which for the most part had been coming from personal study of various books and texts, is currently coming directly out of my own personal experience In one word, I would sum it up as "responsibility." Responsibility to myself, my family, and the community, friends and strangers.

	Bill Viola, ARoS Aarhus Art Museum, Aarhus -
		This exhibition represents the first opportunity for the Danish public to view a major show of Bill Violaâ€™s works: works that appeal both to the intellect and the emotions, conjuring visions that relate to the key fundamentals of human existence and their transcendent dimension.
		Viola recalls the episode as a peace-filled, poetic experience which was later to suggest itself as a metaphor for human existence.
		Bill Viola produces visions, through the medium of visually potent images that that bring our concrete physical reality into an interplay with an underlying, metaphysical realm.

	LA Weekly: Features: Extremities (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Viola's work had always bucked the postmodern trend of ironic distancing by incorporating dreamlike images of anguish and human frailty, keeping the verbal content in check, and rooting his work in the compassion-emphasizing mystical traditions of Zen, Sufism and Medieval Christianity.
		Viola, in midlife, feels himself empty and comes up dry, and decides to give himself a period of study — mainly of older art and older ideas — and discovers whole new subjects and a way to reconnect himself to what he was always making art about in the first place.
		Yet there is a fundamental rejection of authority in Viola's work that rings true, in spite of its reliance on state-of-the-art, corporate-produced electronics and its placement in the ultimate fortress of Western cultural hegemony that petrodollars built.

	Multimedia – From Wagner to Virtual Reality
		In such video installations as Room for St. John of the Cross (1983), Viola has demonstrated the narrative potential of "dataspace," a territory of information in which all data exists in a continual present, outside the traditional definitions of time and space, available for use in endless juxtapositions.
		Viola arrives at the notion of dataspace by considering the spaces that have been constructed over the ages to record cultural history in architectural form, from Greek temples to Gothic cathedrals.
		The computer has introduced the "next evolutionary step," Viola claims, in which ancient models of memory and artistic expression are reborn through the fluid processes of information technologies.
