The Secret Lives of Objects

The Secret Lives of Objects by John McNulty, Queen’s University Belfast, SARC MA MUS7019, 2009. Scan ANY barcoded item and the animatronic toilet will tell a random story about it.  Every story is unique, with content derived from Twitter, an electronic dictionary, and local lookup tables.  Visitors to the installation are also barcoded with a sticker so that they become objects as well.
