Just some more installation namedropping

Before I forget.

http://www.billviola.com/ - Bill Viola is well known for his incredibly large scale video installations. Some that I have seen have multiple videos projected on all walls of the room, such that they seem to connect and create a narrative as a whole rather than in each video individually. You can sit and watch them one at a time, but not without hearing and peripherally interacting with all of the other parts as well. He has also used sculptural elements in his displays.

Wolfgang Laib is the artist who uses pollen who Fereshteh was referring to in class.

Robert Irwin is another "California light and space" artist (who was once good friends with James Turrell but had some kind of mysterious falling out with him).

Walter De Maria of "Dirt Room" fame has another well known piece entitled "Lightning Field" : http://www.lightningfield.org/

... and there's so much more...
