Since 2010, Molly Soda has captured audiences by frequently taking videos on the MacOS application Photo Booth with her computers webcam, documenting the mundanity of herself eating, dancing, singing, crying, or talking on the phone. Although many of these moments have been uploaded by the artist to YouTube, for every moment uploaded, there are countless recordings that exist unseen in her archive. Soda recognizes that digital media lends itself to the process of remixing  once uploaded to the internet, a video can be saved, re-ordered, stitched, paused, rewound, skipped, and chopped. This realization has led to a longstanding interest from the artist in publicly realizing and facilitating these processes. For Movie on 06-03-22 at 1.00 PM, instead of simply reworking and remixing her own archive for public view, Soda will hand-off hundreds of clips from the last decade over to participants. From the given audiovisual material, 100 viewers will have the ability to collectively create a new Molly Soda video, revealed at the culmination of the live stream.
