In 2008, the Takeaway Festival team received funding from the Arts Council to support a commissions programme for
artists using RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) or whose work redefines the accepted meaning of the term “musical instrument”. This programme attracted nearly 30 submissions from the UK, the USA, Greece, Sweden, Norway, Germany, the Netherlands
and Austria.
The Exhibition includes both the commissioned artists and some of the other artists who submitted proposals.

Marcus Lyall (UK): Pitch Control
Take a seat, limber up your fingers and play away as keyboard notes are replaced by recorded singing whilst the heads of 30 different singers are projected in the room to form a virtual choir.

Alex Zivanovic (UK): RFID gesture-generating robot
Swipe a commonly used RFID card and the robot will produce a graceful performance unique to your information.

Yoon Chung Han (USA): Jellyfish musical instrument
Create your own sound composition over four octaves with Jellyfish, the interactive sound installation.

Ryan Jordan (UK): Sensory Response Systems
Sensory Response Systems is an exploration of audiovisual performance using an array of sensors responsive to physical movements. It also looks at reshaping and replicating the body through the use of fabric, textiles and technology.

Ger Ger, with Jakob Kort (Germany): SOUND NOMADS
The constant search for noises, sounds and rhythms is at the heart of SOUND NOMADS’ approach to creating ephemeral - interactive sensor based - playgrounds.

Neil Mendoza, Anthony Goh, Simeon Rose (UK): RFID art
Swipe your transport card or other RFID-based object and you will be invited to recreate a famous piece of art. The unique nature of the RFID tag will assign an area of the artwork which will flash up on screen. Use your hands to draw your version and feed into the collaborative work.

Bart Koppe (Netherlands): Mixing Cities
Mixing Cities brings together, in real time, the sounds of several cities in an audiovisual installation. By choosing and switching between the cities you can make your own journey between the cities and get a different experience of distances and space.

Martin Howse (UK/Germany): Local Resonance Amplifier
Reacting to changes in electromagnetic emissions and signals, the Local Resonance Amplifier acts as a parasitic device revealing the hidden interactions between communications technology, power lines, biological phenomena and geological properties.
