100 Videos [2023-]
A unique collaborative event testing the limits of communal resource sharing.

Artist duo Rowland’s Leaving (Darren Nixon and Rowland Hill) host an ongoing collaborative event 100 Videos which presents 100 of their videos on 100 phones over the course of 100 minutes, offering audiences the rare chance to experience a large body of video work all at once and in person. The event hinges on an unusual exchange; each audience member agrees to become a collaborator in the event’s creation, surrendering their smartphone on arrival to present one of the 100 videos on a loop for one hour. In this way the event seeks to test the limits of resource sharing, encouraging a temporary offline community to emerge.

To date, 100 Videos has been presented at Bath House Galleries (Huddersfield), Longsight Art Space and Bankley Gallery (Manchester). Please contact me if you are interested in hosting 100 Videos: rowlandhillart@gmail.com
