NFC (Near Field Communication) Tags

Continuing to explore how new technology can be integrated into my artwork, in 2017 I began embedding NFC tags into areas of the paintings. Look closely above the "d" in this detail and you'll see part of a tag under the paint.

Viewers can hover their smartphone over the NFC tags to engage digital content such as audio tracks or video clips from my interview with two of my portrait sitters, Ian Rankin and KT Tunstall.
