RFID tags
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is the use of an object (typically referred to as an RFID tag) applied to or incorporated into a product, animal, or person for the purpose of identification and tracking using radio waves. Some tags can be read from several meters away and beyond the line of sight of the reader.
Radio-frequency identification comprises interrogators, also known as readers, and tags, also known aslabels.
Most RFID tags contain at least two parts. One is an integrated circuit for storing and processing information, modulating and demodulating a radio-frequency (RF) signal, and other specialized functions. The second is an antenna for receiving and transmitting the signal.
There are generally three types of RFID tags: active RFID tags, which contain a battery and can transmit signals autonomously, passive RFID tags, which have no battery and require an external source to provoke signal transmission, and battery assisted passive (BAP) which require an external source to wake up but have significant higher forward link capability providing great read range.
The EPCGlobal standard (uhfc1g2_1_1_0-standard-20071017.pdf from EPCGlobal) defines four classes of tags as class 1, class 2, class 3 and class 4. Each successive class has higher functionality than the previous one and is also backward compatible. Apart from these four classes, sometimes class 5 is also referred by users in the industry which are nothing but RFID readers.[citation needed]
RFID has many applications, for example, it is used in enterprise supply chain management to improve the efficiency of inventory tracking and management.

Paper lately seems to have caught the fancy of artists, designers and crafters alike. The latest fusion of paper crafts and technology is a laser cut paper radio created by Matt Brown.
Equip with RFID chips, each paper radio is programmed with a preference for a particular musician or band. When placed over a speaker (embedded with an RFID reader I assume), the radios triggers the musician's or band's songs to play.
The concept, I believe, is to bring a certain set of tangibility to the now intangible world of digital music and internet radio.

It would be pretty cool though if they weren't all shaped like radios—I'd love to have a collection of charming paper trinkets, each assigned to a particular genre of music.

Biography
(1912-1993)
Denis Mitchell was initially a painter but became renowned for his polished bronze sculptures in the 1940's. Mitchell's first sculptures began in wood, slate and stone but after working closely with Barbara Hepworth, as her principle assistant between the years of 1949-1959, his style turned to bronze.
Mitchell was a member of the Penwith Society which formed in 1948 and was based in St. Ives. It was formed by abstract artists, who were breaking away from the St Ives Society of Artists, headed by Barbara Hepworth and Ben Nicholson.

VERNACULAR PHOTO: ANONYMOUS FOLK ART SCULPTURE, C. 1940s:
Thank goodness for the person who decided it was important to take this snapshot some 70 years ago of a well-endowed robot by an anonymous sculptor. The object is great. The snapshot sold last night for $59.00 on eBay. If the original sculpture were still around, I guess the price to be in the $5K+ range, possibly more
