RFID Audiobar brings enjoyment to audio art

While today might not seem all that out of the ordinary, it’s not everyday that we find not just one, but two cases of folks using RFID technology to enhance our lives and bring excitement to otherwise mundane exhibits. Following up on ET’s playful garb, Mogens Jacobsen has crafted the Audiobar (Hørbar), which is a “physical bar-like social environment that enable visitors to interact with sounds via RFID tagged bottles.” His was recently commissioned by The Museum for Contemporary Art Roskild to come up with a new and varied way to present the museum’s “vast archive of sound-art,” and is now garnering worldwide attention for his success. Each tagged RFID bottle responds to the reader installed in the table, and the housed computer channels the appropriate audio clips to correspond with the bottle movements. While it still might take a bit more pizazz to get a gang of second graders to listen to anything on a museum field trip, this is most certainly a step in the right direction, and can be checked out now if you’re stopping through Denmark.
