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.

Dell recently introduced at Mobile World Congress 2017 the new Dell Edge Gateway 3000 Series that offers customers flexibility, connectivity and real-time intelligence from harsh environments and small spaces. The 3000 Series includes three unique models targeted specifically for use cases and embedded solutions in the industrial automation, energy, transportation, and digital signage markets. With these new Edge Gateways, customers will be able to securely transfer and analyze important data at the edge of the network to glean real-time intelligence from the physical world. Ideal deployments include a vehicle, a refrigerated trailer, a remote oil pump in the desert, digital signs in an elevator or inside of the HVAC units on a roof-top of a casino.
