Workshop RFID & the Internet of Things | line-up
9 | 10 | 11 May @ Mediamatic
In this new RFID & the Internet of Things workshop by Mediamatic, 5
great speakers will guide the participants of the workshop through
the technical, social and cultural issues relating to RFID, and will
help the participants develop (small) RFID related prototypes and
user-scenarios.
The increasing merging of the physical and the digital is fuelled by
the use of RFID technology. RFID allows for the unique identification
of objects and the possibility to link any kind of online data to
these unique ID’s. The resulting Internet of Things is a space with
both utopian and nightmarish possibilities.
* Régine Debatty is the writer of the blog we-make-money-not-
art.com. Her blog elaborates on artists, hackers and interaction
designers who endeavour new technologies like RFID. During the
workshop she will give a broad overview of current artistic and
cultural applications of RFID.
* Matthew Karau (former researcher at MIT MediaLab) has been
working on numerous RFID related projects. He will give technical
introductions on what RFID is and what it is or is not capable of,
and will support the participants in developing their projects.
* Heiko Hansen is artist and one half of the duo HeHe, that makes
beautiful projects in which the technological systems that surround
us are 'reverse engineered', and put to new critical usage and social
functions. Using examples from HeHe's work, Heiko will go into issues
relating to ubiqitous computing and physical interfaces.
* Malcom McCullough, is Associate Professor of Architecture and
Design, University of Michigan, and author of Digital Ground. Malcolm
will talk about designing for human agency in a situation where
(digital) interactivity has become ambient, and will discuss his
theory of 'place' for interaction design.
* Matthijs Kouw studies Science Dynamics at the University of
Amsterdam and will present his research into the issue of making
sense of the enormous reservoirs of new kinds of data that are
generated by the wide implementation of RFID.
The workshop has room for 16 designers, artists, thinkers and makers.
Participation fee is €350 per person, ex BTW. Lunches, technical
equipment and assistance are included. If you want to participate in
