#ELEVATE - Part 1

PART 1 of 3: LaBeouf, Rönkkö & Turner, #ELEVATE

Archive of the 24 hour live stream.

From 9am on 19th February until 9am on 20th February 2016, art collective LaBeouf, Rönkkö & Turner occupied the elevator at EC Oxford in Gloucester Green as part of their Oxford Union talk. During this 24 hour period, visitors were free to join the trio inside the elevator, and were invited to address the artists, the debating chamber, and the internet, so that their collective voices might form an extended, expansive and egalitarian Oxford Union address.

The 24 hour video above was streamed live online, as well as being projected inside the debating chamber for the duration.

The trio also gave a onehour talk inside the Oxford Union chamber midway through the performance, which can be viewed here
