The collective has used the film in their videos, installations and live performances before. In 2014, members built a throne from discarded VHS copies of “Jerry Maguire.” Their fans from around the world collect and send the tapes to a P.O. box in Los Angeles.

“There’s this kid in Spokane that’s given us 1,300 and something,” said Nic Maier, one of the collective’s founders.

The video rental store exhibit will not end the collective’s obsession with the Cameron Crowe-directed film, which also features Renée Zellweger and Cuba Gooding Jr. In fact, Mr. Maier said, the event is merely a precursor to a planned Jerry Maguire pyramid that the collective hopes to build “in the desert between Los Angeles and Las Vegas.”

Designs for the pyramid are scheduled to be unveiled next month, as the collective kicks fundraising efforts for the project into higher gear.

Describing what the collective does more generally, Dimitri Simakis, another of its founders, likened the group’s output to “garbage soup” made out of “media vomit.”
