RFID chips connect regular objects to sound via OpenSoundControl

“This sort of odd, out-of-the-blue example is the perfect illustration of why OSC matters. Quietly, gradually, OSC is describing the world around computers in intelligent ways. In contrast to MIDI, with its resolution limits and arbitrary categories (vibrato rate?), OSC can standardize anything. What previously required advance standardization can now be truly open and even improvisational.”

With the most misleading name ever, Open Sound Control is about the most open-ended…processing/routing thing?…..I can’t even think of what to call it it’s so open ended. Put it this way,  If you could write a program to make your laundry do itself, OSC would  find a way to tell your laundry to get to work.
