Pop! Goes the Weasel
An interactive installation using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) to track visitor/participants as they move through the installation. Identities are blurred as RFID tags are shared. The significance of the collected data is shifted as visitors repeatedly alter the database. A video projection containing the implantation of an RFID microchip into the artist's hand and a visible real-time reflection of visitors being tracked accentuates uneasiness. Visitors are given the opportunity to practice intervention in, and subversion and avoidance of RFID surveillance as possible forms of resistance.
