RFID tagging

RFID wave
I’m busy with a project at work where we use some RFID tags. We use them for a kind of fun and useful reason, in Mediamatic’s symbolic table, to give something ‘back’ for the stories we collect and to trigger reminiscing. The table is used in several senior homes where we gather with some inhabitants around the table and start watching some old movie fragments, activated by RFID tags in the movie stills cards that the seniors can choose from. Triggered by these old movies, these pioneers of inburgering tell us their stories about emigrating to Holland.
RFID waveThis innocent purpose is not normal in RFID-tagging, it seems. Some are still nice, some are practical but other adaptations are more verontrustend and others are downright scarying.
