<p>Everyone knows that actually reading a &#8220;terms of service&#8221; agreement is rarely (if ever) done by consumers using large digital platforms, but there is something powerful about seeing just how overwhelming this task is in print.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-wide644 wp-image-115630" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/snap-inc-tos-644x430.jpg" alt="" width="644" height="430" /></p>
<p>Artist Dima Yarovinsky installed a series of these covering Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram and Tinder on normal-width rolls of paper, creating infographics to display at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-wide644 wp-image-115629" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/side-view-644x430.jpg" alt="" width="644" height="430" /></p>
<p>Titled simply &#8220;I AGREE,&#8221; the resulting sheets are so long that, even hung up high toward the ceiling, they roll off the wall and onto the floor below.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-wide644 wp-image-115628" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/instagram-closeup-tos-644x430.jpg" alt="" width="644" height="430" /></p>
<p>Per Dima: the average person reads at a rate of 200 words per minute and the average terms-of-service features close to 12,000 words, meaning they would take about an hour to read (assuming the reader didn&#8217;t stumble on all the obscure legalese).</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-wide644 wp-image-115632" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/i-agree-644x965.jpg" alt="" width="644" height="965" /></p>
<p>By setting it in a standard font in physical space, it becomes much easier to see just how long these agreements are, and what corporations are forcing on those who would use their services.</p>

    <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-wide644 wp-image-104388" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/luxury-car-vending-machine-644x358.jpg" alt="" width="644" height="358" /></p>
<p>Combining architecture, advertising and technology, this car dealership lets users punch in numbers to bring their vehicle of choice down a 15-story showroom looming above in full view. The tall lit-up facade of Autobahn Motors acts as a billboard and show space, letting fans scope out a Lamborghini from a distance then take it out for a test drive on the streets below.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-wide644 wp-image-104387" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/car-tower-facade-644x423.jpg" alt="" width="644" height="423" /></p>
<p>The design responds in part to the lack of surface real estate in this space-crunched island city-state of Singapore, but it also serves as great marketing for the business. While not the first such automobile-vending tower in the world, it is the largest, and it works quickly: a user-selected vehicle can be brought down in just two minutes from the floors far above. Given land scarcity in cities, this unusual-looking typology makes a lot of sense, and could start to spring up in other places as well.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-wide644 wp-image-104386" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/carvana-644x429.jpg" alt="" width="644" height="429" /></p>
<p>Meanwhile, for those in the United States: Carvana has smaller versions located in Austin, Texas and Nashville, Tennessee. These are less a response to density issues and more driven by marketing and novelty.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-wide644 wp-image-104384" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/tower-interior-644x429.jpg" alt="" width="644" height="429" /></p>
<p>And while the towers aren&#8217;t quite as tall the effect is still pretty neat &#8211; modular platforms provide vehicles on demand from an array of sports cars, hatchbacks, minivans and trucks.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-wide644 wp-image-104385" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/coin-ope-644x430.jpg" alt="" width="644" height="430" /></p>
<p>As a bonus for fans of quirky interactivity: their system operates even more like a vending machine &#8211; users are given a giant coin to insert, which lets them bring down the vehicle of their choice from the display racks above.</p>
