ARTBATTERYGROUP

In November of 2004, we launched ART BATTERY GROUP to promote art and to give emerging artists the opportunity to showcases their artwork, opening an online channel to promote creative collaboration. After 5 years of successful growing, the collective showcase the artwork of 15 talented artists and it’s open for new art submissions.

Photography has been a constant passion on our group and through Alfonso Nieto and Claudia Sandoval we have seen a candid approach to capture New York city and its fascinating characters.

MANREKORDS

Our creative alliance cannot be completed without the amazing support and work that along the last years, Manuel Miranda has provided with his sound design endeavor MANREKORDS.

In September of 2008, we founded UNCLASSIFIED TIME to open new paths to promote creative collaboration between video artists. Our collective is open to begin a discussion about video art, film and welcome experimental video approaches to be posted on our blog, promoting dialogue and interchange of ideas.
