Dutch Company Invents Suit That Mine Cryptocurrency With Body Heat

A Dutch organization called Institute of Human Obsolescence (IoHO) has adopted a strategy to mine human capital. The organization has been engaged in varying kinds of research and art projects that are revolved around the essential connections between capital and biological labor and information production labor, as far back as its origination in 2015.

One of their one of a kind activities was making a suit that could cryptocurrency. The suit collects abundance human heat

and utilizes this heat to mine the coins. The suit made by IoHO utilizes thermoelectric generators and converts the collected heat into usable electrical energy.

37 staff took an interest in this experiment and spent a sum of 212 work hours. The heat created was utilized to create 127,210 milliwatts of electrical power. This power, thusly, was utilized to mine about 17,000 cryptocurrency coins. 80 % of these coins were shared among the workers while the organization held the remaining 20%.



IoHO founder Manuel Beltrán clarifies the reasoning behind the project: "I think art can clarify theoretical things and through art, you are likewise ready to trigger something. With this project, I need to create questions or sparks." 

Individuals are doubtful about the utilization of manual labor to encourage AL (artificial intelligence), and Beltran claims that he needs to use art to comprehend the general people's perspective about the future and AI. He says "I met many people who have negative emotions about what's to come in the future. politics issues are crazily out of control and we have no say. We are ruled by algorithms which we don't even understand. We don't know whom to fight and how we feel. probably art can help us to envision and to begin the fight." 

We should sit back and watch what other bizarre experiments Beltran thinks of later on. You can see the cryptocurrency producing suit in the video below. Watch it
