An Art Made of Trust, Vulnerability and Connection | Marina Abramović | TED Talks

Marina Abramović's art pushes the boundary between audience and artist in pursuit of heightened consciousness and personal change. In her groundbreaking 2010 work, "The Artist Is Present," she simply sat in a chair facing her audience, for eight hours a day ... with powerfully moving results. Her boldest work may still be yet to come - it's taking the form of a sprawling art institute devoted to experimentation and simple acts done with mindful attention. "Nothing happens if you always do things the same way," she says. "My method is to do things I'm afraid of, the things I don't know, to go to territory that nobody's ever been."
TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less).

It's funny how some people call her evil, when all she's doing is looking people in the eye and sitting in a chair and letting other people do what they want with her body. Many times she's just standing there. If you think she's evil maybe there's something you're ashamed of, afraid to admit, because you won't allow yourself to be vulnerable. All she does is reflecting the viewer back to itself. And that is some of the best art we've seen so far

[@ionatan96]

This is not art. this is gore. And she is making a excuse to show up and make this kind of things acceptable and normal when there is no normality.

[@hexistenz]

@Pedro Vaz, it can be quite discouraging to read all the comments under this video … It’s as if most of the commenters here didn’t even make the effort to actually, truly listen to her talk, her description of the performance in the 1970’s. Her act was purely to reflect the visitors’ inner capacity to choose good or evil. In reality. In action. When given permission to do whatever you want, what will you choose? Apparently, quite a lot of people choose to harm, to hurt. But not all of the people. And the commenters here seem to be under some kind of delusion, they simply don’t want to listen to her actual words. Conviction can b such a good thing. It can, in the case of all the Q believers, such a harmful thing.

[@Willy_Tepes]

The thing is that we have seen the totality of her "art" and know her connections and the morals she projects. It is not hard to recognize evil,....if you are not willfully blind.

[@jogeun.]

I agree but sometimes for all works it needs criticism to make a better world. Although some people say her as evil, that is just some part of opinion. Because her work is intense, opinions from different perspectives will always follow.

@robert valli You have alot to learn . Alex jones is nothing more than controlled opposition. I wouldn't talk about things you have little to no knowledge of. Religions are a dime a dozen. Weather its the religion of a deity outside yourself, or were you are the deity yourself. If you haven't seen the obvious truth that the two party system is a ruse and that that people like alex jones are put out there by the hidden establishment to delegitimize anyone who mentions any thing about "Conspiracies" . Btw.....Where do you live? people/groups conspire all the time. Throughout History. One could say that life itself is just one conspiracy in itself, That the soul plays on the body in order to have the experience of a bounded, limited persona. It's all in the way you look at things. You can look at them how you've been taught, which is the same way that everyone has been taught generally speaking, Or you can see things from different perspectives. You can ask yourself whats true and whats not. Search for your self. Look for the answers. You don't have to just believe whatever official narrative aligns with whatever biased self validating beliefs you have. Remember that pretty much anything is possible. If given enough time, and action. The Truth is Stranger Than Fiction my friend. Bless you! And may you find what your looking for.

Some of the items were benign; a feather boa, some olive oil, roses. Others were not. "I had a pistol with bullets in it, my dear. I was ready to die." At the end of six hours, she walked away, dripping with blood and tears, but alive." Reading through the comments here, she is going through the same albeit virtual experience by being on TED stage, from all you keyboard warriors. Some of you, given chance wouldn't think twice to use that pistol. Judge, jury, executioners.

Lol you know what? This whole normalizing of killing, raping, and basically violating others--human or animal, living beings of all kinds--because it's "human nature" to exercise dark wills when we find others in vulnerable positions isn't going to work on those of us who what's up, who have big hearts and actually know who we are. This woman is very dark--and not like hey, we're all human, let's get in touch with our shadows dark, like she (and her "higher ups") would like you to believe. This is a malignant being with an agenda--to CONFUSE, demoralize, and sway weak-minded people into believing this is okay, that it's what is really inside them. Look at her eyes--she's playing a role. This talk is not enlightened or artistic or profound or expressive of any deeper inclination, except amongst those who are already corrupt, or deeply uncertain of who they are. For the rest of us the motive is clear, the vibe isn't right, and her addressing of "shadows" feels off--and that's because it is. When you go deep into yourself you realize every shadow has a self-protective motive, a root in pain and sorrow. These people would have you believe quite the opposite; that the apparent darkness is what you really are, and to negate the sorrow and pain you must cling to it. In your quote of this woman you didn't mention how she said someone drank her blood during her "experiment" of 1974. Do you understand the enormity of that statement given the elite inclination to subvert valuable life?
