Ive recently been reading this book. Its got some fascinating research on how 'placebo objects' can affect people. My favourite is the radiation draught excluder which led to someone feeling exposed when their head wasnt protected by it but the rest of their body is. I think theres a lot more to look into here about how the designation of an object by its name will dictate its use and how the viewer feels about it but Im not sure exactly whether this would translate into a white cube scenario.
