I just realized my Finnish ID card had an NFC chip in it. I didnāt know because nobody uses anything else but the barcode printed on it around here. But it occurred to me that it should, since it has a contact chip.
So I presented it to TagInfo, it went beep, crashed, then the phone itself went beep, promply crashed too and rebooted. Wow! What the fuck kind of chip is in there

But does that happen EVERY time?
Results must be able to be duplicated
Yep, without fail.
Interesting, now try a different Id, and different phones
Thatās my only NFC-enabled ID. Sorry
But I did run it past my old Samsung phone running Android 5: TagInfo crashes there too but it doesnāt take the phone down with it - although the UI freezes solid for a few seconds and later recovers.
Interestingly, if I flash the card outside of TagInfo, it does bring up NFC shell without any problem. So I assume itās TagInfo itself that manages to crash the phone somehow.

Hehe, thanks - thatās just the āuseless knowledgeā stuff I love to use for starting conversations 
But to be honestā¦ the thought of inserting a ball of wool into my private parts is not very nice. At all.

Different strokes for different folks.
I checked out her website. She has other odd art.
Pretty sure it mentioned her being inseminated live during the rona lockdown. For art? Idk, I didnāt spend too much time reading it.
I believe this is her art site
I feel like she has a 50% chance of being cool to talk to.

Iād rate it even a bit higher, though I definitely didnāt understand all of her page. But it is art, so always worth discussing 
And STELARC wrote a letter to support her, and heās a pretty interesting guy as well I think.

Having seen some of the oversized balls of wool for making things like blankets (think watermelon sized) I canāt imagine wanting to try to put that anywhere.
But strange art can be interesting.
Itās not art, itās just shocking people for the sake of shocking people and calling it art. Modern art in most cases isnāt about talent but showmanship, and how to extract the most money out of wealthy people with more money than taste.

What about NFC Tools?
It not great at chip ID but it might give you something usefulā¦
Actually, how about Biocom ?
it is made by @hoker and if it reads then great, if not, a crash report might give some insight
Iāll check it out later. Right now Iām pilled up on the couch and I aināt going nowhere.
It is indeed - but in my opinion, thatās okay. If people are shocked, they might start to think about why they are shocked and all that, so it might lead to - more thinking. And thatās usually fine
I like art if it makes me question things, or if I react strongly to it (be it positively or negatively), for it gives me a chance to reflect my reactions and create an opinion to things I didnāt think about beforeā¦

But this all comes down to āwhat is artā and personally I think that is a very personal question.
Is a hyper realistic painting art? Is a photograph of the same scene? A computer generated image of the same scene? They could all be art.
For me, art is whatever anyone claims is art. But good art makes me think, or inspires a sense of wonder, or an emotional response.

That just makes me think of Shrek. Like the style and the fact that the song is in one of the movies.
You do Itās just that youāre addressing the wrong crowd. But Iād say youāre pretty good at getting people excited enough with your stuff to make them spend their last paycheck on it. Ask most people on this here board. And just like art, implants really, REALLY arenāt first necessity items.
What you need to work on is making implants fashionable for the ultrarich. Iāve dealt with a few of those, and what they want - aside from investment vessels - is to own stuff nobody else owns.
If I were you, Iād pair up with a known artist that makes functional art of some sort - like motorized sculptures or something - to create an artwork that only powers on or does something special when one and only one implant is presented to it. The implant is unique because the artwork that goes with it is paired to it. Nobody but the rightful owner can work it. Thatās bound to provide entertainment at fancy dinner parties. Auction both of them off, you and your artist partner, and see how much they fetchā¦
That wouldnāt take you very much effort and you might get good money and good press out of it Worst case, youāll have made worthless art.
Yeah well, by that token, I make art every morning when I hit the canā¦ At some point, you have to pull back and apply common sense: itās not hard to see the difference between a Monet and a Jackson Pollock.
