Mobile Bodies is a theoretical project that questions thresholds of comfort between people, objects and space. I propose a bus that intentionally creates a discomforting experience. People are packed into the bus with no seats to sit on and only a uncanny bodily wall to hold on to, while simultaneously viewing the city through the clear naked structure. The bodily wall surface takes on a similar unnerving quality to the film - My Object of Affection, yet becomes a bodily experience and demonstrates discomfort within a space. By challenging issues of discomfort, boundaries of comfort can be recognized.
As objects take on human characteristics we are intrigued to touch them. However as comforting as this may be, the act of touching can be unnerving. The object becomes strangely animate, at the sublime moment, it changes from unfamiliar to familiar and we react according to our own sense of grotesque.
