LIVE VIDEO FEED GOES OFFLINE

Shia LaBeouf cites safety concerns

- BY ADRIAN GOMEZ JOURNAL ARTS EDITOR

Actor Shia LaBeouf tweeted that reported gunfire in the area resulted in the feed being shut down.

The problems for the antiTrump “He Will Not Divide Us” installati­on continued in Albuquerqu­e.

At 4 a.m. Thursday, actor Shia LaBeouf tweeted to his followers that the stream at www.hewillnotd­ivide.us was taken down.

The actor said, “We have taken the stream down after shots were reported in the area. The safety of everybody participat­ing in our project is paramount.”

The tweet received more than 750 retweets and more than 4,000 likes shortly after.

On Tuesday, just three days after going live, it was vandalized and later cleaned up.

The installati­on is on the west side of the building of the Historic El Rey Theater at Central and Seventh.

Nearly two weeks ago, the installati­on was shut down by the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens, N.Y., due to its being “a serious and ongoing safety hazard” for visitors, staffers, local residents and businesses.

The project is produced by LaBeouf, Nastja Säde Rönkkö and Luke Turner.

The plan is to stream content continuous­ly “for four years, or the duration of the current presidency.”
