Bill Viola (1951–)‚ a contemporary video artist whose upbringing capitalizes on his interpretation of the world: seen and unseen. In a near death encounter‚ Viola’s comprehensive reaction to the memories of his near-drowning seems to be a driving force in many of his artworks. Of many of the video pieces‚ most‚ if not all‚ have spiritual significance and pull away from reality; pushing the theme of transcendence and imagination. As suggested by Bernier‚ “Viola considers the re-emergence of a theological

Because suburbia can become a working town of its own‚ those that reside inside the bubble extended over suburbia can lose touch with the outside world. The man of the house is able to commute to the city and leave the confines of the picket fence. He does not feel as imprisoned in his home as his wife and children do.

I’ve always felt that the conservative argument against any form of social aid springs from pure self-righteous delusions. These conservatives are hasty to claim that no one has ever helped them‚ so they have no cause to help others.
