Disruptive Action at Shell Annual Shareholders Conference

On May 21, 2024, at Shell PLC's AGM in London, the artist duo Berger & Wirz staged a protest during the Q&A session. They disrupted the proceedings by reciting algorithmic gibberish, creating confusion and effectively halting Chairman Sir Andrew Mackenzie's ability to conduct the meeting for over five minutes.

The performative intervention served as a critique of corporate power, leveraging artistic expression as a tool to disrupt established norms and challenge the perceived legitimacy of the corporate order.
