Smarin presents a transdisciplinary performance for the Opening Celebration Party of WantedDesign 2019 in Brooklyn, New York.
The Bounce Station is a choreographed exhibition which invites visitors to explore and perform new ways of sitting.
Smarin’s research subscribes to the Microsociology of Erving Goffman which is one of the main levels of analysis (or focuses) of sociology, concerning the nature of everyday social interactions and body responses between humans.
Smarin offers a “smicrosociology” of ‘la fesse’ (buttock) a concept of “face” which is an important part of this American sociologist and proposes a revolution of the seating position.
