Augmented Art: Creating new work inspired by Gaudí – CognitiveBusiness

Not too long ago, IBM Watson served as the inspirational muse for Grammy-nominated producer Alex Da Kid to help him write the hit song, "Not Easy." Watson's machine-learning power has been used in high-profile creative initiatives for fashion, music, and film. But what if you could "teach" Watson to think and create like a great artist? To test this theory, IBM Watson has been taught how to think like the famous Catalan modernist artist, Antoni Gaudí. Gaudí's work was influenced by his passions in life: architecture, nature, and religion.
