OBDILCI in Art
The following original 2023 art creation, The More The Better (Two Truths and a Lie), from Mihàly Kornai, made use of the OBDILCI model results.
It is a multimedia installation exploring the relationship between foreign languages and trustworthiness which consists of 100 videos in the 100 most prevalent languages on the internet, looping on used devices and hanging from a single metal structure.
The size of each screen was determined by the percentage of global internet content in that language, and despite the visible disparities in size, every voice can be heard at the exact same volume.
