LaBeouf streams heartbeat in the name of art
Shia LaBeouf has been making headlines for some pretty bizarre behaviour as of late but heâs one-upped himself by live streaming his heartbeat to anyone who wants to hear it.

⢠LaBeouf guilty of disorderly conduct
⢠Ten topical Halloween costume ideas for 2014 Â
Yep, thatâs correct, you can listen to a six day live stream of the eccentric actorâs heartbeat thanks to a collaboration with his artist friends Luke Turner and Nastja RĂśnkkĂś, the same guys behind his seminal I am sorry campaign.
âLike cats have whiskers, we too are born with a guidance system: our heart. It is our inner GPS, our map, and our guide. It promises to lead us down the path of maximum fulfilment,â LaBeouf said in a statement.
The stream is happening while LaBeouf is at music festival SXSW in the university party town of Austin, Texas â so youâll know the reason for any sudden acceleration in tempo.
The project is the latest in a long line of eyebrow-raising appearances from the actor including a controversial music video with SIA, an arrest for being a public nuisance at a Broadway cabaret bar and commissioning a skywriting aeroplane to apologise to graphic novelist Daniel Clowes.
LaBeouf has been âpumpingâ out promotion for the heartbeat project on his Twitter with some very creative punctuation art.
