The Submit Button (2003)

The Submit Button is a 50 by 100 cm large-scale real-life model of a virtual submit button, used in Windows 95 (with Internet Explorer 4) to send form data over the internet. It can be hung to a wall and because it consists of foam material it also can be pressed. It was a contribution to the group exhibition "The First 10 Years" at Merz Akademie Stuttgart celebrating the first ten years of world wide web and memorialiing the web’s first user generation. In the meantime it was hung to walls at EMAF Osnabrück in 2006, in Chaos Computer Club Headquarters in 2007, at Tacheles Berlin in 2008 and now stands in my kitchen.
