He WILL Divide
us...I guess.
Well, that was
rather quick.
From
the Moving Image website, ((The Museum of the Moving Image has
closed HEWILLNOTDIVIDE.US, a participatory Internet streaming
performance by LaBeouf, Rönkkö & Turner. The installation
created a serious and ongoing public safety hazard for the Museum,
its visitors, staff, local residents, and businesses. ))
This was
supposed to be a 4-year protest of Trump via a live stream. It only
lasted mere weeks. Given the high state of hatred between the supporters
and detractors of Trump, it was only a matter of time before someone
got stabbed or shot due to the intense beliefs on both sides. We
can't even stand on the same street without something bad happening. I have lived through the Clinton and Bush Jr years and it has NEVER been this much division between the two groups.
Just think of how much this live stream would have divided us. I
think the Museum of the Moving Image
did the right thing by removing the camera. There is too much risk
involved.
While I felt the protest stream thing
was stupid, I loved the fact it was a living-breathing meme with
trolls everywhere. I loved the reactions from a very serious Shia
LaBeouf as people trolled him. I am going to miss it despite the
misguided nature of the protest.
The best part is
they tried to “build a wall” around the camera. Listen to this
guy and he sums up everything wrong with the protest.
