Labeouf-Led Livestream Says ‘He Will Not Divide US'

Shia LaBeouf wants you to know: “He will not divide us.”

- 

For the first few days of Donald Trump’s presidency, the actor has been repeating that sentence into a live camera mounted on a wall outside a New York City museum, usually with a backdrop of everyday New Yorkers chanting and singing along.

The livestream from outside the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens is for a participatory public art project LaBeouf and two collaborators intend to have running for the duration of Trump’s presidency.

The camera went live the morning of the inauguration, along with a website inviting the public to show up and repeat the phrase, “He will not divide us,” any time of the day or night.

The scene in front of the livecam has ranged from lively - with scores of young people dancing and clapping - to lonely late at night.

LeBeouf has been a frequent, though not constant presence, wearing the same blue jacket and red hat.
