A collaborative effort that has been gaining momentum over the past year, TestBed 1 focus on a series of screen-based digital commissions that explore the gulf between high-end cinema and low-fi independent films. As Youtube grants fame overnight to some videos, it propels others into obscurity amongst what is literally thousands of videos of babies or kittens. Thankfully, this exhibition promises nothing as cutesy but rather ponders the anarchy that might ensue in a world in which creator and consumer roles collide.
