The Friend Drink Station
Re-connecting the network to real space with beer.
Make new friends at PICNIC 08 (and get a free drink!)
Make a new contact at PICNIC and come together to a Friend Drink Station. Swipe your iktag and then automagically: you are connected on the website, and a souvenir profile and a drink voucher is printed. All with one push of a red button! The drink is offered to you by Mediamatic, the developers of this station.
The Friend Drink Station was developed for PICNIC 06 by Andy Smith and Mediamatic Lab. More information on www.mediamatic.nl/frienddrinkstation
Five Friend-Drink-Stations
Mediamatic invites you to meet up with new people at the Friend Drink Stations in the PICNIC club.
Just swipe two badges and print. You'll get the drink vouchers and the site will be updated real time. There's one rule: the vouchers are only valid at the bar when you are there together and can show your badge to the bartender.
Experience this and other great examples of the cultural use of RFID during PICNIC. No RFID badge or lost it? Come to us in the Dome and we will get you a RFID tag and make friends at The Friend Drink Station.
