    Does the term Attention whore describes this “art”?

        Performance art is all about look at me doing whacky things.

          Essentially true but thoroughly reductive. Like saying “live music is all about saying look at me play all these notes”

            Well yea, but you have to play the right notes in the right way. This is more like bringing an philharmonic orchestra to stage and not playing a single note. Actually, that would be much more creative than this.

          Given your engagement, I’d say you couldn’t be more wrong.

            Point me to some performance art where people are not ending up naked, cut, or doing some other edgy things in public.

              This woman literally did not do anything during her performance art. The audience did. That’s the entire point.

                You can also be held accountable if doing nothing. You actually DID nothing.

          You’re missing the point entirely. It’s supposed to make you feel emotional, and to give you the opportunity to challenge those feelings and understand where those emotions are rooted.

          Art is all about challenging your preconceptions, and yet you can’t seem to get over your preconception that art itself is worthless lmao

            Art is not everything labeled art. Btw word art comes from latin ars, which means craft or skil.
