It is not only a personal home or a car, things in their places, but also an information space.
We live constantly networked, performing multiple activities in virtual spaces which are intertwined with physical space, shaping an augmented and symbiotic chronotope. Considering that personal space is an area surrounding individuals that provides a framework for developing activities wouldn’t it be necessary to count on a virtual personal space?

Proxemics is the study of human use of space and the effects that population density has on behaviour, communication, and social interaction.
Proxemics is one among several subcategories in the study of nonverbal communication, including haptics (touch), kinesics (body movement), vocalics (paralanguage), and chronemics (structure of time)

Personal distance: why Russian life has no room for privacy
One of the first things I learned when studying Russian is that there is no word for personal privacy. It does not exist as a spatial concept. You might say, “Leave me alone” or “Leave me in peace.” And, obviously, the idea of “private property” existed, otherwise it could not have been banned during the Soviet era. But there is no way to translate directly: “Can you give me some privacy?” It’s not much of a leap to extend this to personal space.
In Russian, you can have a private life (chastnaya zhizn’) and you can have personal business (lichnoye delo). There are a lot of words for solitude and secrecy: what a surprise! But there is no word that denotes physical space around you that should be private and unique to you. Communal living has to play a role here. Most people born in Russia between 1900 and 1980 would have lived in a communal flat at one time or another. That is a place where there really is no privacy at all.

A Greater Share for the Japanese Sharehouse
Communal Lifestyles Find a Footing in Diverse Residential Populations
New Styles of Living
Over the past 30 years, Japan has seen a dramatic shift away from three-generational homes toward single-person households. The cost of increased privacy and social responsibility. The rise in sharehouses, which have come a long way in Japan since their initial incarnation as grotty digs for transitory foreigners, signals an appetite for a revival of community ties.

Personal space, as the core of the sovereignty of the individual, foundation and an integral part of freedom is attacked in a confined space subway train. Performance inspires random passengers to expose their own strategy for the protection of freedom.
