LORO (THEM)<\/p>\n

In view of the increasing number of immigrants in Europe and fascinated by the technological development of drones, Krzysztof Wodiczko launched \u2018Loro (Them)\u2019 in Milan in 2019, a swarm of special drones with loudspeakers and LED screens that give migrants an audible voice and a personal view.
