The idea of the Spime proposed by Bruce Sterling is outrageous and extraordinary. I love the concept of being able to track an object's existence from cradle to grave. Here a small retailer is trying to use QR codes, or meta tags to help track the life of their art pieces.

Bruce would say embed an RFID chip and forget about it, but I like the requisite interaction - makes you feel more part of the story of the object.
