What if a sculpture could think?
That’s what a group of architects and IBM teamed up to find out. The result is the world’s first thinking sculpture, which debuted at this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. To make the sculpture reflect its surroundings, Watson learned about renowned Spanish architect Antoni Gaudi and Barcelona’s architectural heritage. Watson’s insights then helped inspire the sculpture’s colors, materials and shape. The sculpture is also being shaped by the emotion of conference attendees’ social posts through a real-time light display—because it can do more than think, it can feel too.
