Avant Garde

I don't know how you guys feel about conceptual art or the actor in question. I definitely know more about the first one than the latter.

Anyway, Shia Labeouf is doing a collaboration with some folk and he's live streaming his heartbeat for a week.

Sounds like pile of wank? Maybe, but when you see and hear his heart beating on the screen, it's actually quite strange. Intimate.

I like it. But then I would : )

You're right... strangely fascinating.

When I was a kid I was always fascinated by listening to my parents heartbeats, laying my head on their chests. So looking at this, seeing a strangers heartbeat, on the other side of the world...it's really amazing, all the associations and questions running through my head : ) it's a good piece xx

It is strange how something so simple can be so interesting : ) x

This is kinda weirdly cool! Sweet concept.

[alexisjane.livejournal.com]

It is quite cool. And weird. I find myself trying to guess wha he's doing to make his heart beat like that : ) x

Glad you like, bb : ) Is it weird that I like listening to it when he's sleeping? It's just super relaxing. I miss hearing someones heartbeating : ) x

Extremely weird, but strangely mesmerising! xx

I find it kinda relaxing : ) I'm glad you like xx

Me too, I could probably listen and fall asleep O_o xx

you're quite right it is strange. And he must be sleeping right now (or at least sitting down, not doing anything exciting, because it's not changing pace AT ALL. LoL, funny thing is that when you listen to it for a while, you start listening into your own heart and whether it beats in tandem or in a different rhythm and THAT is really strange!

I saw a couple of messages about people freaking out as their heartbeats were matching his and it was really weirding them out. But then it got me thinking about how statistically probably that is, that our heartbeats match with other people that we'll never meet, or with a stranger sitting across from us in a cafe that we'll never speak to...it's very cool : ) I'm glad you liked it xx

Have you watched Rob Cantor with 'Shia LeBeouf'? If you haven't you so need to get on youtube and check it out, stat. I laughed myself silly, but it's hilarious and so artistically expressive at the same time, it's just awesome.
Lemme see... ah here it is:
