Day 2 | July 14th 2006
Topics: RFID in urban environments, RFID as service; From idea to Prototype.
| 10.00-10.45 |
Lecture and project presentation by Marcus Kirsch (UK) |
Marcus Kirsch is a technology artist, new media designer and programmer. He will share his thoughts on the use of RFID in art, and present his project UrbanEyes. For this project, doves are fed grains with embedded RFID chips, that triggere recordings of surveillance cameras throughout the city, on the base of the chips' proximity.
