This is a fantastic use of a lot of conspiracy tropes.

First there is the meaningless definition of connections "Connected to" aka not connected to in any way, but in the area. Wow. Given these rules I am connected to this

and to this

Secondly, the fudging of facts to skew the probability.

AKA a world famous tourist spot that gets 400,000 visitors a year, is on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list, and a place where the near bye resort will be happy to set you up to tour the area on one of these

Wait! You say the ground is too mundane for you? How about this?

and the kicker of course is this false claim

at the same time the baby went missing

Nope. Provably False. Not the same Time.

The trip that inspired the performance written about in the times began months after the death of Azaria Chamberlain.

The legendary artist spent between October 1980 and March 1981 with the Pitjantjatjara and Pintupi people of the Western Desert, https://www.vogue.com.au/vogue-living/arts/marina-abramovc-to-return-to-australia-for-the-first-time-in-17-years/news-story/8607fa09cc886d5e0629b2f930967e47

In August of 1980 Ambramovic was performing these pieces in Europe, Dublin I believe

Two problems with this evidence you're giving, KofH. First, the exhibition you cite was in 2013, not 1980. Secondly, if the performance was done on video, it doesn't really prove she was in Ireland not in Australia.

I'm afraid that KoH is right, Vin.

The performance, which took place in Dublin in 1980. And then it explicitly says:

'Marina Abramovic and Ulay Rest Energy Performance for Video August 1980, ROSC’80 Dublin'

https://ago.ca/exhibitions/marina-abramovic-and-ulay-rest-energy

ROSC might have been an art festival perhaps?

@Vindicator @KnightsofHubris: please see my edit in parent above.

I couldn't find any actual evidence in the KofH link that Abramovic was in Ireland in August 1980, and his link says 2013. The Wikipedia article you linked says 1980 Amsterdam for the recording of the video submitted to the Dublin festival, but has no supporting evidence either. The three footnotes say nothing about where she was in August of 1980, and we know she was in Australia by September according to the NYT. Not trying to pick nits, here, but it's weird that the links being given by KofH and Wikipedia don't actually say what those citing them claim they do.

Not sure if this is a fake news type YouTube video designed to fool us all, or if people are just being sloppy.

I don't know either.
