About

A “dead drop” is used by spies to drop off and transfer information and money in a remote setting. The term was first described by the FBI as the following: “A dead drop is a method of spycraft used to pass items or information between two individuals using a secret location thus not requiring them to meet directly, so as to maintain operational security.” Our term “NFCdead” is a contactless method to transfer digital information and cash using RFID technology. In this process we are sharing memories in the form of photos, videos, and music using NFC infused clothing, art, and gear. Touching the surface of the object with an NFC phone allows one to retrieve, display and share memories from the past. The same phone can be used to conduct contactless payments and transfer of funds. Our goal is to disseminate hidden voices, stories, and dreams for others to find. Leave a message. Burn an impression. The issue is sharing experiences.
