A program of hands-on workshops, talks and discussions about electronic tagging

Workshops: Friday, February 10, 17, 24 and March 3; 10:30 – 4:30pm
One day event: Saturday, March 25; 11 – 4pm

Tagged is a program of hands-on workshops and a one-day event dedicated to exploring themes of electronic tagging, in particular Radio Frequency Identification (RFID).

Even if you dont know what an RFID tag is, youve probably used one, whether at your local grocery store checkout, getting on the bus, tracking a package youre waiting to be delivered 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 major impact on commercial industry, security and privacy.

The one-day event will include demonstrations of electronic tagging technologies by workshop participants and instructors, as well as a number of talks about the technology's context, potential and implication. A new commissioning program for artists will be launched during this event.
