Volume means the sense of space one physically occupies. Although it is not possible to change the physical volume of human body in a short time, the volume and the shape of space one ‘feels’ to occupy, or what is called ‘personal space’ change according to the posture.

Hoberman sphere by Chuck Hoberman
Hoberman sphere by Chuck Hoberman expands and shrinks. How would you kinesthetically empathise with its movement? Kinesthetically empathising with the sphere expanding and shrinking, I would feel like inhaling and exhaling.
Puwants Spiral
Puwants Spiral is an artificial waterplant which is made of a flower and a spiral-shaped stem. As the air accumulates in the flower, it extends the spiral stem. Once the air accumulates to a certain amount, it gets out of the tiny hole on top of the flower and the total structure sinks downwards. Suddenly the sense of gravity appears.
