Tim Lee is a artist whos work is mainly video and photography based. In 1998 when the beastie boys released Hello Nasty Lee produced a piece called The Move, The Beastie Boys which consisted of 3 screens synchronized to play 3 videos. The videos were of Lee singing the separate lyrics of each different beastie boy. The idea of this piece was that Lee of asian decent is singing the lyrics of 3 upper-middle class white jews fronting black Hip Hop culture, By doing this he manages to blend 3 separate communities into one.
