I think that it is meant to do that because it creates so much shock value that people will remember them. I guess that controversial performances are more "lively" than regular art. Perhaps they want to do this kind of art for the heck of it. This is very similar to Zhang Huan's works in the sense that they use thier bodies as works of arts and that you only get what you see. Still, I admire the way they draw attention to their works of art.I agree with you in that performance art creates a lot of shock value and that it is meant to cross the boundaries.
