In what ways can buttons, as cultural artifacts, be utilized to study social constructs and to communicate?

The Button is an interactive installation examining our habitual interactions with buttons.

In Disconnection, pressing a button yields an unexpected result, challenging assumptions of cause and effect. Press Without Result presents a non-functional button, revealing ritualistic behavior. Button as Outcome reframes the button as the end product, not a trigger.

Together, these scenarios invite reflection on control, expectation, and interface design.
