UBERMORGEN.COM deals with RFID technology and scrutinizes the promises of the „beautiful new world“ of logistics. How authentical or true is the information saved on RFID tags? How can one distinguish an original from a fake?
The central element of the installation is the stylized ART FID Pixel Conveyor Belt (ART FID stands for Art Frequency Identification) – an interactive sculpture. The pixels (10 x 10 x 10 cm) on the conveyor belt – which are equipped with real RFID tags – can be manipulated by the users and assembled into various pictures in different resolutions. Besides the big wall painting right from the entrance, there are six large-format abstract digital prints on canvas, the so-called ART FID Paintings. The [F]original ART FID Seal is positioned centrally on the front wall and resembles a pseudo-state coat of arms (210 x 210 cm). It symbolizes a new power. The ART FID Paintings (100 x 100 cm) show five different motives: RFID tags in a human hand, in cows, satellites and other objects. (Text by Inke Arns)
The installation was conceived especially for the PHOENIX Halle Dortmund (a industrial area), which is run by HMKV - Hartware Medienkunstverein and curated by Inke Arns
