Anonymous Hugging Wall

As part of the her ongoing series Methods & Apparati for Social Facilitation and Mood Elevation, Keetra Dean Dixon has created “The Anonymous Hugging Wall”. It is yet unclear if they come in deluxe form or what their cost may be.

Other parts of the series include the “Full Spectrum Optical Invigoration Unit, Psuedo Simile Guides, and the Colling Inhalation Aid (aka Fridgi-Poofs)”.

Finally, the “Exercises to Stimulate the 42 Smiling Muscles”, which is effectively a wall mounted aid to exercise your smile muscles through the use of phonemes.

Bears a striking resemblance to the anonymous grope wall from a few Burning Man’s ago…although that was made with black rubber gloves of course.

I’m just wondering why the girl behind the wall is standing in a giant dog bowl.

Why is she standing on a dog bowl – ah, too short and couldn’t find anything else to stand on maybe?

Anonymous hugging is better than no hugging at all. Especially since some people are a little shy about hugging.

someone is going to get punched instead of hugged. man.. this world loves to put everyone in their little box. this person in there box and that person in there box. WOW the two boxes touched! Sad attempt for human interaction.. or maybe its more sad that this is what human interaction had come to..

She is standing in a bowl so the other side cant see her feet. It’s supposed to be anonymous and type and size of shoe is usually a giveaway what sex you are contacting.

That is my guess anyway.

It’s like a glory hole for hugs.

That’s similar to one of the things Mormons do inside the temples…only they say that the hugging person is their god.

This is oddly intriguing.

What a great idea! People won’t be shy to get hug coz they don’t who the person is and you can’t even notice if it’s an opposite sex. Nice one!

Kind of too weird for my taste. It would be a shock to expect a gentle hug only to get a rough bear hug.

I like this idea a lot. Expressing love is essential. It is one thing to love but another to open your heart and love a stranger.

Have you ever heard of mother Ama? Mother Ama serves the world…

THROUGH HUGS. That’s right… this saint hugs people all day and all night.

Literally hundreds of thousands of people come to hug Ama. She spiritually heals with HUGS. It hard to believe but it is true.

Great Idea.
This will change people’s lives. it is amazing just how much power is in a hug and how a simple hug can break down barriers that have held people captive for years.
There should be some of these walls in every town. Funny how an anonymous hugging wall is used to break down the walls people build around themselves.
