Misplaced Verbs Tutorial translates familiar software commands into physical actions. Each instruction follows the logic of a tutorial—Select > Apply > Complete—but relocates the operation from screen to world. A circle is inflated with air. Rough edges are smoothed with an iron. Creative Cloud is compressed by hand. The verbs still "function," yet their mechanism changes. Algorithm becomes air. Interface becomes body. Tool replaces code. Through this displacement, the project examines how verbs structure not only language or software, but perception and behavior. When a command escapes its interface, it searches for a new execution structure. The result is both humorous and analytical—a manual for
operating the wrong interface.
