IBM Watson Created a Modern Sculpture Inspired by the Work of One of Spain’s Most Famous Architects

Analyzed thousands of photos of Antoni Gaudí's buildings

BARCELONA, Spain—IBM has come up with a way to show off the more artistic side of its artificial intelligence capabilities while honoring one of Spain’s most famous architects.

For this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, IBM tasked its Watson super computer with the understanding Antoni Gaudí’s greatest works such as La Pedrera and la Sagrada Família to help create a unique sculpture for the annual trade show.

Using its visual-recognition technology, Watson reviewed hundreds of images of Gaudí’s buildings, along with additional examples of local architecture to understand trends in composition and inspirations.
