He called these objects SPIMES. This project builds on this theory to suggest that by tracking people and objects over a number of years, computers will be able to infer the significance of an object to a particular individual. It can then designate assets based on different parameters, which can be altered by the policy makers.<\/p>\n<p>The project explores this through an examination of the life and death of Howard Hughes, an American aviator and movie maker who passed in 1976 without leaving a will. Unmarried and without children at the time of his death, Hughes\u2019 US$2.5 billion estate was eventually split in 1983 among 22 cousins whom he had never visited, and never liked.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Beyond Blood\u2019 uses the film \u201cAviator\u201d, which depicts the life of Howard Hughes, to create a fictional computational model for generating a will on Hughes\u2019 behalf. In this alternative history of the life of Howard Hughes, every asset and object is a \u201cspime\u201d that senses human interactions and is tracked and logged by computer systems.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>[<a href=\"http:\/\/www.creativeapplications.net\/processing\/beyond-blood-emotional-attachment-and-inheritance-by-algorithm\/\">read more<\/a>] [<a href=\"http:\/\/sureskumar.com\/?p=809\">Sures Kumar<\/a>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"attribution\">(<span>Source:<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/\">https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/<\/a>)<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>futurescope: Beyond Blood \u2013 Emotional attachment and inheritance by algorithm \u2018Beyond Blood\u2019 imagines a legal system where algorithms take over the inheritance process during intestacy situations where the deceased has not left a will and the state has to distribute the estates.
