Eric Dalimarta
"See Feel Believe" series
Through my work I want to share what I see, feel and believe about the world. The world, which gives a disorienting glimpse that could be interpreted differently, will always be viewed differently based on people?s point of view, what they see, feel, and believe.

Music videos by:

Middlepoet
?I?m Tired? single-channel video
Directed by Jan Tompkins and Melissa Pulicare
Edited by Anthony Hinds
Starring: Middlepoet & Jersey City, NJ
I?m Tired? is a hip-hop inspired down-tempo track based on Middlepoet?s poem ?Things that are getting on my nerves?, which relates to the thoughts of American?s who are fed up with the constant struggle just to get by. This music video takes place in Hudson County, New Jersey, one of the most densely populated regions of the United States. Take a closer look, and it?s an homage to downtown Jersey City as well as a commentary on modern urban America. http://www.youtube.com/user/middlepoet#p/a/u/0/cT3x-S85bRU

W.Y.M.E.
Set Your Watch to the Sun
single-channel video
Directed by: C.Mahe
Produced by: Niroshima
Set your watch to the sun is a song that speaks about the fact that no one really knows the truth about creation. We are forced to adopt philosophies and ideals that are based on a system of thinking that is dwindling. By setting our watches to the sun, do we get in tune with a higher sense of self and being?

Choz Belen
Group: Deep Foundation, ?Sleep?
Beats produced by Incise
Featuring Jay Legaspi
"An emotionally in-depth look into some of the everyday struggles people go through for the sake of their loved ones. We follow a day in the life of a soldier, a drug mule and a taxi cab driver as they each make life-altering sacrifices. We also discover that they have more in common than just having the drive to do whatever it takes so that their families can sleep at night."

Christen Lien
?Unabi? single-channel video
Directed by Geoffrey S. George.
Edited by Derek Swanson.
Director of Photography Katie Barkel.
Produced by X10.
From the album Vol. I: Battle Cry, this features violist Christen Lien. The mural featured in this work is the ?Detroit Industry? fresco painting by Mexican muralist Diego Rivera (1886-1957), which is a four-walled mural showcased at the Detroit Institute of Arts. Rivera completed the twenty-seven panel work in eleven months, from April 1932 to March 1933. It is considered the finest example of Mexican mural art in the United States, and the artist thought it the best work of his career. The abandoned factories that you see are actual factories of Detroit, Michigan in their current state. http://itsnotaviolin.com/videos/unabi/
