BILL VIOLA

I recently discovered this CREEPY artist BILL VIOLA. He works a lot with video. I think his stuff is really unique and very odd, but definitely worth checking out. They way he depicts experiences we all approach and things we all think about is really different. He really gives these emotions, thoughts, and experiences and life of their own.

"Viola uses video to explore the phenomena of sense perception as an avenue to self-knowledge. His works focus on universal human experiences—birth, death, the unfolding of consciousness—and have roots in both Eastern and Western art as well as spiritual traditions, including Zen Buddhism, Islamic Sufism, and Christian mysticism. Using the inner language of subjective thoughts and collective memories, his videos communicate to a wide audience, allowing viewers to experience the work directly, and in their own personal way".
