“They say”, sometimes is the way of receiving information in some countries, other times is the way we spread gossips and unverified news; but also, can be the action of reading all the comments that you can find on a topic from social medial that triggered many strong reactions.

Some questions arise as a person watching from the distance, what is true? What is not? Do I have the right to bring my opinion if I am not present in the country? Who do I believe? Which side am I taking?

Political, social and health crisis that societies have to undergo provoke in people a lot of stress, trauma, frustrations, and sometimes these emotions combined with the necessity of

expressing what we think on social media, could create  intense arguments if people disagree on their points of views.

“They say” started as an interactive installation „DICEN“ at the Exhibition Human by Machine at the Museum of applied Arts Vienna (MAK), part of the EU program INTERREG V-A Slovakia–Austria.

The project this time was developed using a makey makey aparat during the lockdown in Vienna 2020.
