thumb|Bill Viola in 2009 Bill Viola (January 25, 1951 – July 12, 2024) was an American video artist. His exhibition profile, which includes the Guggenheim Berlin, Guggenheim New York, Getty Center, and Metropolitan Museum of Art, marks him as a major artist, at least by standards of public fame and repute. Quotes When I started in video I was one of two or three dozen video artists in 1970. And now, to paraphrase Andy Warhol, everyone's a video artist. Video, through your cellphone and camcorder, has become a form of speech, and speech is not James Joyce. It's great, and to be celebrated, but it has to find its own level.
