I Agree is an installation artwork created in 2018 by Israeli artist Dima Yarovinsky. The work consists of lengthy terms of service documents from major technology companies, each printed in their brand colors and hung on walls as multi-meter-long scrolls.[1][2] The total length of the artwork is 9.5 metres (31 ft).[3]
The work reveals how internet users, unable or unwilling to bear the cognitive cost of understanding lengthy documents, readily (or unavoidably) agree to various terms of service and privacy policies, even when they are inequitable. The installation highlights the power imbalance between individual users and technology corporations, raising questions about transparency, privacy rights, and copyright issues. More than just artistic expression, the work engages with legal and ethical debates surrounding informed consent and constraints on technological power.[4][5]
