HypoSmalldog Xr (Das Nächste), 2016/2017
HYPOSmalldog, 2016/17
In the 1960s anthropologist E.T. Hall has developed the concept of proxemics, a theory determining the extent to which interpersonal signals are reflected in the spatial environment. Numbers of distance in inch and centimeter made it possible to measure what was in between words, “The Hidden Dimension” of a social relation.
The HYPOSmalldog is a tool developed on the exact distances described by E.T.Hall. The measurements are translated into a functional object. Distances between two individuals are being symmetrically adjusted by the two telescope-like arms of the pieces.
