Michele Pred talk at Museum of Craft and Folk Art

Artist Michele Pred will be giving a talk at the Museum of Craft and Folk Art (www.mocfa.org) in San Francisco, CA on November 19th at 7pm. Ms. Pred will be discussing her mobile phone interactive art piece. This piece is a part of the Open Source Embroidery exhibition which presents artworks that use embroidery and code as a tool for participatory production and distribution. For this show Pred created an embroidery of a 2D Barcode. These barcodes are composed of black and white squares that encode the URLs to any website of the creator's choice. Through (new) technology, cell phones are capable of scanning and decoding 2D barcodes. When Pred's barcode is scanned a text message appears on the screen of the viewers mobile phone. The art piece is compatible with iPhones and most other hand sets.
