title> ADAPTED TRANSFORMATION, MOBILITY BETWEEN BODY AND PRODUCTS
author> Lieke Snellen

It is a fact that we surround ourselves with products in our daily live. We fill up the space that we have. But because of the quantity of the products we have to adopt our living spaces to the products. For example people are going to live bigger because their houses are becoming to small. But it is also a fact that we have to adapt to the products. The products are creating the way we are moving, they set the route we walk, bike or drive. At the places where the products are standing we don't move anymore. If I look in my own room than I see places as where my bed, table closet or couch is, where I am never standing or moving. I always walk around it.

So the space has a lot of influence on our quantity of products we have and the mobility we have. In one way the products like cars, bikes, and public transport give us more mobility because you can move them. But the places that are necessary to move these products give us less freedom to move in a other way. Next to that there are also a lot of products that are not ment for moving, they are most of the time standing at the same place. Like a house or even a closet, the closet is possible to move but as long we are in a certain space most of the time the closet is at the same spot.

- How would the route of our walking mobility change if we replaced the products in our living environment?

- And how would the space change when products are appendixations of the human body?
