Shot around the centre of MWC 2016, the initiative looks to showcase the on-the-move capabilities of the GoPro HERO4 Black.

Furthermore, through the partnership, GoPro hopes to hit home the sharing capabilities of its tech, underlining how video can by live-streamed through Twitter’s Periscope and shared on Twitter too.

From 3pm GMT, Periscope users can tune into a live-stream, captured via GoPro of Barcelona-based Kristian Krasimirov and French-born Aurelien Giraud showcasing their skate tricks and stunts on the forecourt of Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art.
