Yes, never saw Abramović's Rhythm 0 in person, but have read about it - and just reading about makes me rather nervous!
I see it as an extension of Stanley Milgram's famous 1963 experiments, Obedience to Authority (which involved subjects delivering what they thought would be a lethal electric shock to a fellow participant). I think I prefer the science to the art in this case!
Thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed the piece. I may insert a mention of Rhythm 0 if I can do so without extending the piece too much, or sounding trite about it...
