The whole sequence is IMO about "high" culture being just as fucking ridiculous as Getting the Shit Kicked Out of You on TV. Why TF didn't anyone try and stop Abramovic or the audience? What kind of depraved sicko would participate in Rhythm 0 "for art"? Cinema is the medium of the masses and Boots was very careful to ride the line between popular appeal and revolutionary content. The contradiction between the two plagued Soviet and Marxist filmmakers for the better part of the 20th century because working-class audiences wanted Hollywood adventures instead of having theory thrown at them. IMO Sorry to Bother You resolves that conflict in a better way than even Parasite, even if the plot is pretty fucking strange and theoretical aspects are on the nose.
