Personal space, as a problem of privacy, belongs to the phenomena of

modern culture. Back in the middle of the 20th century, this issue was

not so urgent. Researchers associate the aggravation of the problem of

personal space with many factors, including: a change in culture, an

increased role of social and economic status, as well as the expansion

of human capabilities.

In the animal world, the problem of preserving and violating personal

boundaries is studied by the science of Ethology. For example, starlings

sit on a telegraph wire, maintaining a distance between themselves sufficient

to reach a neighbor with their beak. Reducing the correct distance between

birds leads to aggression.

In the modern world, in addition to animals and ourselves - people, technologies,

robots and machines also coexist.

The installation called “(DON'T)COME” makes you think about the

personal space of the car. Does it exist? Will the mechanism be able

to show aggression if its privacy is violated? How to build the right

distance with it in order to establish communication, and not create

a pretext for war?

Ingredients:

Arduino, LED strip, sensors HC-SR04
