Welcome to Bill Viola. Below is a series of Bill Viola videos. You will need to watch them several times throughout Unit 3. I have also included the offical Bill Viola website, [|SFMOMA website] and the [|James Cohen website] These websites are rich with information, images, interviews and Viola's video work.
