This paper proposes a mobile application -conceived for and with a contemporary artist- allowing the spatial annotation of paintings and the delivery of multimedia related interpretation material to the concerned public, through the combined use of RFID tags and NFC (Near Field Communication) mobile phones, serving as delivery platforms. The paper reports on the design and implementation of the application as well as on the results of a first, proof-of-concept, evaluation.Categories and Subject Descriptors (according to ACM CCS): H.5.1 [Information Interfaces and Presentation]: Evaluation/Methodology, J.5 [Arts and Humanities]: Arts, Fine and Performing,Exploring Contemporary Painting through Spatial Annotations Using RFID Tags
