How can spatial boundaries become personified through interactive play?
How can pronounced boundaries trigger a territorial defense in the viewer?
How can spatial boundaries define movement?
Through defined spatial boundaries how can interactive play assist in continuous movement?
How can spatial boundaries bring awareness to choreographed movements?
How can projected spatial boundaries educate participants to define movement?
Through projected spatial boundaries how can participants learn about personal space?
- Personal space in terms of moveable space? What is moveable space? The space in which one moves about.
- A game, the object of the game is to stay out of other people's space. The spacial contact produces a sound if breached.
- Purpose: Assist in educating participants in visually seeing their projected personal space (0-15m)
- This program could be used for choreography, because if the dancer is in another dancers space the dance is not right. Example: Ballet: 12 dancers turning on stage have to maintain their spot on the floor.
- Could be beneficial to the military, for the formation of troops.
It is interesting to me to think about "digital" (available in electronic form; readable and manipulable by computer) personal space in a physical world. Portraying a digital version of personal space allows the viewer to see something that they can usually only feel in the real world. To personify this imaginary space around an individual as a digital form is fascinating to think of disturbing. What would their reactions be? What could they learn about themselves and others around them by seeing this digital form of their personal bubble?
Marina Abramivich
- The relationship between performer and audience.
- The audience fuels the performance
- Making the performance as a visual art form
- Ritualistic simple everyday actions
This is relates to my artistic idea by having the audience being an active participant in whatever is on the screen. It is the interaction between the computers projection and the person standing in front of it that creates the everyday action.
Camille Utterback (Shifting Time)
- Interactivity of layering past and present
- Dynamics of fluid memories of places and moments in time
This relates to the personal space idea because if I were to video places of Denver then and now, then apply a layer of interactivity that transcends time and space to bring awareness that personal space is constantly changing and evolving with every moment. "Living Art" so to speak.
Jesse Mathes
- Psychology of personal space and the ability of a large scale adornment to empower the wearer.
This brings about an interesting concept of protruding into the physical space. Maybe the wearer can have a digital embodiment of personal space, like a digital bubble.
The specific intentions for this project are to bring awareness to societies perceptions of personal space and how they are disrupted everyday. To bring awareness of the personal space we all have.

How can personal sounds allow people to experience personal space through a computer based installation in real time?
How can interactive play disrupt the personification of spacial boundaries?
OR MAYBE
How can interactive play disrupt spacial boundaries?
How can interactive play disrupt the attribution of a humanistic quality to an inanimate object to inspire respect for spacial boundaries?
Theories and ideas of public transportation have lead to the development of conflicting ideas between personal space and becoming more energy efficient. These ideas speak of the development of society in which human beings live and work in an overcrowded environment. Through interactive play how can an object inspire respect for special boundaries?
I really do not want to make my thesis about public transportation or about sustainability. Maybe the differences in personal space across cultures? I am having a problem pin pointing.
Email from David Rokeby: "I am interested in the notion of personal space. It is a challenge to make the sound really evocative of personal space. The simple triggering of sound might not be as effective as the triggering and continuous modulation of the sound so that the person really "wears" the sound by affecting it in some way by every small gesture that they make. I also tried to make my pieces more continuously effected than simply triggered. Depending on the kind of sound source you are using, there are a variety of ways to continuously modulate the sound... pitch bend, vibrato, filtering, volume, etc for MIDI devices, and related things or parameters of sound for other sound sources."
Email from Michael M:
"Not to go back down the route of public transportation, a friend of mine did a
project with touching other people while riding the bus -- exploring that
experience of public vs private space in public areas. The artist's name is
Krista Connerly, and I think that the project was called Urban Intimacy."
- Interesting to think about "wearing" a sound
- Use Kinect to sense distance?
- No over crowding issue's either
- What is the big picture and why?
The specific intentions for this project are to bring awareness to societies perceptions of personal space and how they are disrupted everyday.
I am mainly concerned with the coding, and finding a device like the Kinect to track observers movements.
I have been researching anything from Sciece Direct Psychological Bulletins on Perosnal Space to Education Resources Information Center The Environment and Social Behavior: Privacy, personal space, territory and crowding. I was also successful in making contact with Scott Snibbe who gave me several helpful links to pursue.
Artist is this field include David Rokeby, Camille Utterback, Scott Snibbe, Tamar Frank, Ross Ashton, Georg Hartung and many more.
This is a link to my blog that has several more research and artist postings : http://el-thesis.blogspot.com/
- By stepping in front of, or touching shapes, each has it's own sound, "Hey!" or "Watch Out!", the interaction of the viewer is disturbing the shape therefore produces the sound.
- Offended, angry, laughing at the digital embodiment of the sound produced from disturbing the projected square.

Personal space

This article is not included in your organization's subscription. However, you may be able to access this article under your organization's agreement with Elsevier.
Gary W. Evansa and Roger B. Howard
aU. Massachusetts
Available online 22 May 2007.
Reviews major findings of personal-space research in clinical psychology, personality, demographic studies (including sex, age, cross-cultural studies), and studies of the effects of familiarity and affinity. The substantial lack of consistent findings in the literature is attributed to the lack of experimental controls in most of the personal-space research. It is suggested that researchers explore personal space using multivariate techniques. In addition to a brief exposition of theoretical developments, a theory is presented which suggests that personal space is a functional, mediating, cognitive construct which allows the human organism to operate at acceptable stress levels and aids in the control of intraspecies aggression.

Privacy, Personal Space, Territory, and Crowding
Altman, Irwin
This book presents an analysis of the concepts of privacy, crowding, territory, and personal space, with regard to human behavior. Intended as an introduction to the environment-and-behavior field for undergraduate and graduate students, as a preliminary guide to research and theory for researchers, and as a model for integrating environmental and social concepts for practitioners, the book contains the following discussions: a brief description of the four central concepts; an analysis of privacy in terms of meaning, conceptions, mechanisms, and dynamics; an examination of personal space as it relates to meaning, theory, research, and special topics; and an analysis of both crowding and territory, again with a focus on research and theory.

The space between us
Despite a plethora of knowledge, both behavioural and neural, of the mechanisms defining space around a singular body little is known about the neural mechanisms that encode space between bodies. Yet, the space between people creates and defines the social dynamics of our interactions with others. This review brings together evidence from social psychology, which considers individuals and their interactions as whole beings, with neuroscientific evidence of the factors involved in spatial coding to propose a framework by which we can investigate and interpret the neural substrates of 'social space'. A key feature of this framework is that space around the body is defined from a functional 'action-centred' perspective; the same underlying processes mediate interactions with both inanimate and animate objects, with links to emotive and motivational systems encoding the saliency of those interactions. The investigation of the neural mechanisms underlying interpersonal space is timely given the increasing density of our populations and can provide a richer interpretation of findings from neuroimaging studies of prosocial behaviour which may further insights into populations with social dysfunction.
Don't stand so close to me
We provide preliminary evidence that listening to music through headphones alters the perception of space around the body -- specifically, the interpersonal distance maintained between the self and others. In comparison to an external auditory environment, wearing headphones or earplugs increased the amount of space maintained between the wearer and another person during an active approach paradigm. This finding suggests that, when external cues to spatial location (such as sound) are removed, people compensate by increasing the distance between themselves and others. The implications of this research for navigating busy urban environments and for the social interactions of wearers of personal music systems are discussed.
Doctors' perceptions of personal boundaries
Definitions of professional roles and appropriate care are increasingly inclusive in primary care but many subjective factors influence the care that is actually delivered. One such factor is the boundary a clinician puts on his or her self in interactions with patients. This qualitative study investigated doctors' perceptions of personal boundaries to primary care consultations by exploring two examples: touch and spiritual care. Respondents reported clear but contrasting boundaries: some neither used touch nor explored spiritual care; others regularly undertook both. Some interviewees deliberately varied these boundaries, irrespective of their own views, if they felt this was in their patients' best interests. Such subjective limits may affect the quality of primary health care offered to some patients and contrast with theoretical definitions which assume both all-encompassing primary care, and doctors' conscious awareness of themselves and their personal boundaries. The existence of these boundaries, and some doctors' lack of awareness of them, has educational implications if patient-centred professional role definitions are to be realistically delivered in everyday primary care.

Social Immersive Media
This research defines social immersive media: a distinct form of augmented reality focused on social interaction.
The research articulates philosophical goals, design principles, and interaction techniques that create strong emotional responses and social engagement through visceral interaction. The research describes approaches to clearly communicate cultural and scientific ideas through the medium and demonstrates how practitioners can design interactions that promote specific social behaviors in users.

personal space
The distances and angles of orientation that people maintain from one another as they interact. Personal space is typically measured as the distance between individuals (“interpersonal distance”). Equating personal space to an invisible “bubble” is appealing but has been criticized because it implies that personal space has one distinct boundary and exists even when people are alone. Because interpersonal cues change with increasing distances, personal spacing is one of several “boundary regulation” mechanisms that allow individuals to achieve and communicate desired levels of contact and intimacy (e.g., touch, visual, auditory, olfactory, and warmth cues vary in intensity; see nonverbal communication ). E. T. Hall described four personal space zones that reflect varying degrees of cue exchange: intimate distance (0cm–15cm); personal distance (45cm – 120cm); social distance (1.2m–3.5m); and public distance (3.5 m).
