UBC professor is taking RFID to the people
Nancy Nisbet teaches art history at the University of British Columbia. She is also a Performance artist to boot. She is about to embark on a six-month road trip during which she aims to teach North Americans about radio frequency identification.
Nisbet's plan is simple: she has tagged all her belongings she is taking with her on the tour. She planned the tour for three years. A grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada funds Professor Nisbet's mission. She also got technical help from a Vancouver-based RFID consulting firm NJE Consulting Inc.
Traveling through Canada, the United States and Mexico, Nisbet will trade away her tagged items to people she meets on the journey.
