Marina Abramovic, renowned for her unconventional art, has been presenting an exhibition in Venice, a city that has always been a part of her life. The exhibition, "Transforming Energy," is based on the public's participation in the work and aims to shift the focus from artist to audience, in an age of constant distraction. Abramovic discusses her shift from painting to unconventional media and her struggle to maintain the focus on art in a world dominated by technology, social media, and short attention spans. She also discusses the challenge of holding attention in an era dominated by people constantly distracted by digital technology and social media. The public has been a constant element of Abramovic's work throughout her career, with her focus shifting from subject and objectivity to performance.
