Cactus passenger

What is it?

  • Two neighbouring chairs on a transport vehicle, when a passenger sits down, the neighbouring chair generates a cactus shaped balloon as a temporary passenger and the balloon starts to inflate.
  • Cactus size: Its size depends on the degree of thigh spreading detected when passenger sitting . If the thighs are spread wider, the balloon expands accordingly until it encroaches on the seating space.
  • Cactus Scream: collects people's internal activity when public space is invaded and adjusts the content and volume according to the extra space occupied by the passenger.
Cactus Emoji: an electronic screen that adjusts the emoji according to the extra space occupied by the passenger.==

Why make it?

==

From time to time I have observed a temporary encroachment of public space that I have been experiencing myself: in public transport, waiting areas or other shared seating spaces, it often happens that body space is encroached upon by others. Through this interaction I hope to observe how people react to this encroaching experience, including whether they change the way they sit or how they interact with the balloons around them making people aware of how their physical behaviour affects the use and perception of the space around them.
