The new LaBeouf, Rönkkö & Turner art installation/experiment (same people who brought you the 72-hour Shia LeBeouf movie marathon).

Live right now at Museum of the Moving Image in Queens. Is that....Jaden Smith?

http://hewillnotdivide.us/

HEWILLNOTDIVIDE.US is a participatory performance by LaBeouf, Rönkkö & Turner that invites the public to deliver the words ”He will not divide us" into a camera mounted on a wall outside the Museum of the Moving Image, repeating the phrase as many times, and for as long as they wish. The performance commences at 9:00 a.m. on January 20, 2017, the day of the inauguration of the 45th President of the United States.

Open to all, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the participatory performance will be live-streamed continuously at www.hewillnotdivide.us for four years, or the duration of the presidency. In this way, the mantra "HE WILL NOT DIVIDE US" acts as a show of resistance or insistence, opposition or optimism, guided by the spirit of each individual participant and the community.

 

[ZOONAMI]

Very cool.

 

[zeemumu]

How long has Jaden been standing there?

 

[Anth0ny]

so it's just Jaden now, but i bet the entire frame will be filled up with people soon enough. pretty cool

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

is the guy with the red hat shia?

 

[BioHazard]

is the guy with the red hat shia?

I think it's Luke Turner

so it's just Jaden now, but i bet the entire frame will be filled up with people soon enough. pretty cool

Yeah before there were a bunch of school kids getting off the bus for a field trip at the museum and then some guy holding up his fist behind Jaden for a bit.

 

[Jakoo]

But will Shia start freestyling

 

[Ferny]

It's crazy that this thing will be live for four years.

 

[Sai-kun]

fucking rad.

 

[DirtyLarry]

I actually love this idea, especially if they do keep it up for 4 full years. Will be real interesting to come back 4 years from now.
I know he takes some shit, but I can get behind Shia.

 

[rjinaz]

I like this idea. Wish I lived close by.

 

[BioHazard]

I live about 25 min away I should stop by after work. I think the camera is just built into the wall with the "He Will Not Divide Us" written above it

 

[Christhor]

Really cool idea and great idea, but after having it on for a couple of minutes it feels like it's no longer a phrase. Would be neat if they kept it up for four or eight years though.

 

[Kisaya]

So cool! I love the Museum of Moving Image. Definitely stopping by there when I visit home again, wish I was there now.

I'm surprised there's not more people on the stream.

 

[hiphoptherobot]

I loved the Austin Walker cameo.

 

[Puck Beaverton]

dope

 

[Spenny]

Austin Walker kicks ass.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Shia LeBeouf doing his best to stay relevant, I see.

Is Austin Walker the guy with the dreadlocks or the guy with the glasses?

 

[strafer]

Austin my man

 

[kwogfaf]

I think this is really cool.

 

[John Kowalski]

Wait a second how tall is Austin?? He looks huge.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

how long has Jaden been out there?

looks like he is getting tired

 

[Count Dookkake]

Don't get mad; get even.







Stevens.

 

[LycanXIII]

Jaden's going to be there the whole term, isn't he?

 

[firehawk12]

Austin my man

Hah, of course.

Tee-hee

 

[air jordans for dogs]

This will surely make an impact :thinking:

 

[Rootbeer]

Welp. Time to bookmark. I hope they can keep it interesting. I'll check in on it once in a while

 

[ZSeba]

This will surely make an impact :thinking:

Yeah, let's do nothing instead

Love the woman who looks down while Austin walks by then yells 'he will divide US' really emphasizing the us after he's already walking away from the camera. Way to show how you'll stand up to Trump.

 

[Yaphett Kotto]

More and more people are showing up.

 

[tedrotheredro]

Oh wow, I live within walking distance of that museum (which is a pretty cool museum, btw). I'm definitely going down there.....in a few years.

I mean, as an art piece, real thought and expounding dialogue sort of makes this all fall apart.

That being said, Austin was great and I hope more people drop by to drop knowledge beyond a simple 4 year chant. This could be an amazing soap box and real source for hope if people let it be.

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

Cool idea

 

[FloatingDivider]

for a group of undivided individuals they're sucking at saying this shit in unison.

 

[Extra Sauce]

Experimental art projects are cool because they tend to remind us of simple truths.

In this case, that Jaden Smith ruins everything.

 

[Disxo]

Lmao, Its jaden? He looks big!, this man has grown quite a little.

 

[Jakten]

Austin Walker popped up on this earlier.

That was great I'm glad someone caught it.

 

[JrBaconCheeseburger]

Wow this got old really quick.

 

[Fisty]

A 24hr livestreaming camera on a sidewalk in Queens that asks for your participation?

What could go wrong

 

[Ewo]

Just wait, it's probably going to be crazy tomorrow with the people coming into NYC for the march. Unfortunately, it's probably not going to be very enthusiastic in the rest of the 4 years.

 

[Shiloa]

Wait. I've just tuned in and Jaden is just saying the same thing over and over.

This topic was made a few hours ago.

Has he been doing that non-stop for hours?

E: He's still going. Fair play to him. Idiotic but more stamina than Trump for sure.

 

[_Ryo_]

ha! this is pretty great.

 

[Rentahamster]

I predict that this art exhibit will be used more in ways that it was not intended to be.

 

[The Albatross]

flash :/

 

[PizzaFace]

He will divide you

Well it didn't take very long for somebody to articulately explain how stupid this is
