They Lyrical

Poetic ruminations were incorporated into installations by artists such as Steina Vasulka, who produced Orka in 1997. The installation reveals several strokes of birds passing by on screen, fallowed by a sequence of burning lava, and ocean waves. It expresses a motion that runs counter to the laws of physics as well for "frame-bound images," as described by Romaeuropa Webfactory. Stenia's work is set to describe the roots of her personal mindset. Orka was intellectually designed to homage her place of birth.


Bill Viola's work is praised for his work having the greatest tendency towards lyrical art. It comes form his interests in exploring the spiritual side of things along with explorations of light and form. In his work Installation, vertical slabs of granite turn as mirrored projections controlled via computer show three sets of human bodies submerged in water. Once again reminding me of a work done my an artist once mentioned from an earlier presentation.

The Stopping Mind was an installation made by Viola that incorporated sound into the images. The four screen installation was set to preoccupy the passing of time, where the seemingly peaceful images are interrupted by sudden violent sounds to give the illusion that the march of time has halted.
