“Immaculate musculature instead of the dirtiest (in the broadest sense) work of house construction: such promising − and hyperfunctional − machines combine the tools of work with popular workout machines, which grow out of traditional exercise culture (like running, biking, and rowing). But Lakner goes beyond this to bring the term “workout” back to the realm of work. It might appear that the machines on display tie physical training to socially useful forms of work, but they also isolate it from the materials and functions of that sphere. Instead, with a mere nod at labor and its overtones, the machines are used for purely training processes on the body in question. Movement takes place against a machine offering resistance − without affecting the “exterior.” Instead, changes take place inside the body doing the process. Body movement to all appearances has here been turned back on itself.” (Insa Härtel)
The Home Transporter is a 1999 prototype, the only electrical one in INERS. This machine, which requires great physical capacity, allows one to perform the physical work of wheelbarrow jobs in a room. A switch on the handle of the device switches on the moving sidewalk, which offers continuous progress without a change of scene. The lifter replaces the body of the wheelbarrow; weight plates are placed on it as one wishes.
