Bill Viola
A contemporary video artist, born January 25, 1951. He is considered a leading figure in the generation of artists whose artistic expression depends upon electronic, sound, and image technology in New Media.

BILL'S INSTALLATION WORK
There are 2
types of video
one with
the sound and the mute one. Video
with sound will transport
the message which artist want to send us pass through our eyes and ears , But
the mute one only with eye.
OCEAN WITHOUT A SHORE
“Ocean Without a Shore is about the
presence of the dead in our lives. The three stone altars in the church of
San Gallo become portals for the passage of the dead to and from our world. Presented as a series of encounters at
the intersection between life and death, the video sequence documents a
succession of individuals slowly approaching out of darkness and moving into
the light. Each person must then break through an invisible threshold of water
and light in order to pass into the physical world. Once incarnate however, all
beings realise that their presence is finite and so
they must eventually turn away from material existence to return from where
they came. The cycle repeats without end.”

Site
is at San Gallo church. Black
square point out as a video representing about living and death. The
altar been pointed out by its function and belief like normally what does it
been use for.

SILENT MOUTAIN
"probably the loudest scream I have
ever recorded is in the soundless work, 'Silent Mountain'.”
– Bill Viola
video does not rely on technological
tricks: There is neither
fancy editing nor special effects. The
action
is simultaneously violent and slow.
El Anatsui
An African artist, born in Ghana, 1994, Works
in wood, ceramics, metal,
clay, liquor
bottle, mild can, aluminum printing plates and traditional believe
objects. Also he want his art to reflect mystery of life.
El
Anatsui
was born and raised in Ghana. The kente cloth is
native to Ghana and can have significant cultural meaning. Below is a picture of a traditional kente
cloth. Comparing the colors and designs of
this cloth to El Anatsui’s work you can see how that influence has carried over. The colors carry specific
meaning to the people of Ghana.
MATERIAL IN HIS WORKS
Using recycle materials
1.Demonstrate the current erosion and
distressed of human condition
2.Renewal that it possible through a
dazzling synthesis and inter weaving
showing
the origins and the process of making the work of El Anatsui
start from collecting ,material.
FRESH AND FADING MEMORIES
Technique
of el anatsui
which he make one material turn to be another material which people from far
space will never know the truth about it unless they come closer then they will
know what it really is
2
types of El installations, one on
the façade of the building the installation will have much more space between
itself and the façade that it attach with compare to when installing it on the
flat wall
AKINDRA SASA
Text
on some aluminum sheets, several of which were once use for funeral
announcement ,make
a note of the birth and death dates.It
is a message in which the wording of at least one refer not to garbage, but
what he call waste lives of far too many fellow Africans
Also resemble the Adinkra
mourning, cloth of Ghana
The
one on the left representing object that been used as a death announcement and
late on it been apply on other material. But anyway its root meaning still be
the same no matter how much it change , the purpose still about the death.
INSTALLATION AND SENSORY ORGANS
There
are five organs serving as the sensory organ. Artist playing with some of them
to make people feel something about their work. The differ color circle use to
represent differ installation work
