I stumbled upon the first linked article by chance. I don't know what to think...
Performance artist Marina Abramovic handed over her body to the public for six hours, and the results were horrifying. There are parallels too with Stanley Milgram's psychological 'Obedience to Authority' experiments from the 1960s, which tried to understand how the Holocaust could have happened.
It is generally accepted that between 10 and 15% of all North Americans are affected by life-affecting personality disorders. There are also studies which have estimated that 10% of all humans demonstrate psychopathic behaviours, figures which include sociopathic behaviours. So the U.S. has 350 million people. The math is scary and this woman's experience is too .
I agree. Humans are roughly divided into three camps:-
10% narcissists, sociopaths, psychopaths
60% apaths
30% empaths
That's the general conclusion reached from Stanley Milgram's psychological experiments. The 10% control the world using the apaths.
She is a pretty impressive artist. I watched a movie about her and her long time boyfriend, Ulay. They did a lot of work together but eventually broke up. When she did he sit-in performance at MOMA, he unexpectedly showed up. Brought her to tears. He was the only one she touched throughout the performance.
