CollectivEye is an independent, artist run DVD label founded in 2003 in Brooklyn. We are interested in providing a new platform for video, film, and digital works. Each release is a curated exhibition of one artist's work or multiple contributors. CollectivEye was founded by artists, Alexis Raskin and Jeremy Chien with the goal of distributing an international community of emerging and recognized artists free from the confines and expenses of the more conventional outlets. Working with the philosophy and inspiration behind micro media publications, CollectivEye's releases reach beyond the common expectations of the DVD format. In addition, we encourage our artists to redefine their work while considering the characteristics of this form of digital media. Currently there are three titles that are all available at specialty music/art stores and on our website.
Alexis Raskin is a New York based artist working in film and video. Her work has been exhibited in Chicago, New York City, Barcelona, Taipei, and Kiev. Currently, Alexis is in production on, "Chinese Coffee", a series of intimate portraits of Chinese women talking about their new lives in New York City. She lives in Brooklyn
Jeremy Chien was born and raised in Taipei, Taiwan. He creates dreamlike, quickly paced artworks that combine elements of photography, video, and film. The subjects of his work are the landscapes he traverses, New York City and Taipei. He works at School of Visual Arts in New York City. http://picturingtime.com
