Скачать или смотреть Karma Kettle

The Karma kettles are part of an effort to explore the social impacts of algorithmic transactions within decentralised systems of energy generation and consumption. In contrast to traditional centralised national grids, distributed systems allow for smaller enterprises and households to produce and sell energy in a free market economy. The connected kettles mimic a scenario where devices can store and carry out transactions (push/pull) to distribute energy manually and/or autonomously. Users can see the state of the local grid and storage networks, and choose to use (boil), pull (store) or push (give) energy into the grid. The kettle then reward the user according to the how much the action benefitted the state of the grid and the communal good, translating this action into an energy “karma” points.
