T a g g e d
A hands-on RFID workshop
T a g g e d : A hands-on RFID workshop: Friday, February 10, 17, 24 and March 3; 10.30 – 4.30pm; at SPACE Media Arts.
Do you know how an Oyster card works? Or security stickers in shops? Even if you don’t know what a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag is, you’ve probably used one – at the grocers checkout, on the bus, tracking a package or in your passport at the airport.
RFID is the barcode of the future. It is a unique identification code that can be tracked through radio waves, sometimes without human contact or knowledge. RFID may help create a real-life internet, where objects can communicate with each other to create complex networks, exchange useful information, and do things for you in every day life. But it could also have a huge impact on commercial industry, security and privacy.
Learn about electronics, art, technology, computer programming and more in this four-day, hands-on workshop. Find out exactly how RFID works, who is using it and what it means for you and your community. Experiment with the technology and imagine what you can do with it in art, industry and play… then get a head start on making it happen.
