The aim is to annotate public artworks that scatter the site using Bluetooth instead of convention didactic panels (signage to the layman).

We used small form MicroClient SNR computers running Debian and some funky Python scripts. The system was quite polite – should you refuse any message it would leave you alone henceforth.

The Stride was the artwork we tested with. An installation depicting the final 100m of Cathy Freeman’s gold medal 400m sprint. We sent the public a text description, then a video of the race, finally an image of the site. Response was much better than expected given the public’s general suspicion of Bluetooth in general.
