Marina Abramovic is a performance artist who has done many past pieces of other artists as well as her own new performance pieces, such as this one titled "The Artist is Present". This consisted of her sitting at a table in complete silence as people would line up to sit across from her. She spent a total of 736 hours at the table, not all at once but oftentimes she'd be sitting there for a very long time in complete silence with a stranger staring back at her. It kind of gives a different perspective on things and helps filter out all the incidental stuff that really doesn't matter, this would include things like small talk or whatever.
