> After a succesfull CrashCourse in May, Mediamatic now presents a  
> second workshop on RFID and The Internet of Things.
>
>
>
> RFID allows for the unique identification of objects, and any kind  
> of online data can be linked to these unique ID's. If RFID becomes  
> an open web-based platform, and users can tag, share, and  
> contribute content to the digital existence of their own places and  
> objects, we can truly speak of an Internet of Things. This opens  
> perpectives for new sustainability scenario's, for new relations  
> between people and the stuff they have,  and for other locative  
> applications.
>
>
> The participants of this workshop will develop critical, utopian or  
> nightmarish concepts for an Internet of Things in a hands-on way.  
> Ideas can range from scripts for small new rituals to outlines of  
> societal changes of epic scale. Prototypes can be tested with the  
> workshop tools The Symbolic Table or the Nokia3220 phone with RFID  
> reader.
>
> 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 this workshop, please register at our online
