Shia LaBeouf is up to his old tricks again, meaning he’s put together yet another avant-garde art project (of sorts).
After other “projects,” which include watching his own filmography alone in a movie theatre over several days and “occupying” an elevator, LaBeouf is now embarking on a road trip across the United States with strangers. The project is titled #TakeMeAnywhere.

LaBeouf and his collaborators, artists Luke Turner and Nastja Säde Rönkkö, will be posting their geographic coordinates every day and posting them to the #TakeMeAnywhere website. From there, members of the public can pick up the trio and, as the name implies, take them anywhere.
Taking a page from Jack Kerouac and other famous American nomads, LaBeouf and his team’s goal is to mimic the freedom of the classic road trip.
“The American road trip has long been symbolic of a collective yearning to seek out beauty and truth within a corrupt nation,” says the press release. “#TAKEMEANYWHERE asks, ‘Can we find such truths within the corrupted networks of society, and preserve something of the utopian naivety of the Internet age?'”

It looks as if the trio of artists is having a great time so far, as you can see in the video, above. They make a pit stop with strangers in Colorado, and LaBeouf reportedly kept buying rounds of beer for everyone. (Warning: the video has foul language.)
