I think that in this imaginary scenario, the art student is being graced with the benefit of the doubt, and it’s assumed that they just have no clue how wheelchairs function in reality. I have a hard time assuming such malice if it is in fact an art project.
However, reality likes to make fools of optimists.

I didn’t assume malice, but ignorance. And not malicious ignorance, either.
Given this is a public installation, though, I was giving my interpretation.
At some point it really is. It’s not like it’s impossible to find a chair user to talk to about such things.
Ok but if you’re doing an art project about including chair users, maybe run your design by like, at least one chair user.
