IkTag project description

The ikTag is an extremely simple interface for social networks, both on and offline. Mediamatic developed the ikTag for people to do nice stuff with their online profile without sitting behind your computer. The ikTag is an innovative and cultural application of RFID technology.

The ikTag works in combination with Social RFID Games such as the ikWin (Google Battle), the ikRun, a mobile massage couch, Breedrs, de ikCam photobooth and the Friend Drink Station. These interactive installations were developed with a group of artists and developers on occasions like the Social RFID Hackerscamp in September 2008. The installations were used at PICNIC and at different social network events. In the Mediamatic exhibitions interactive installations are usually present. Visitors of the current show Ik R.I.P., for example, can use their ikTag to make photographs in front of the ikCam and inside the ikCoffin.
