the useless usefull

There they are again and again. The small details without a technical function. For example, the door-close button on the elevator. It is not uncommon for it to light up when you press it, but a door-close operation is not triggered. Because it is not connected at all.

But the button has a function. It helps the impatient elevator rider do something about impatience. The button gives the feeling of control and power. Perhaps also confirmation.

Artist Lee Sklar uses a guitar that has a switch on it. When asked in the recording studio if he could change the sound, he finds it easy to flip the switch without function. The sound is the same, but the world in the recording studio is better.
