As a test, the computer would appear on Jeopardy in a competition against the world's best champions - Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter. But what kind of image could represent a supercomputer nearly capable of human thinking? Was it humanoid? Was it abstract? Should it be an actual person? We also had to contend with the fact that the Avatar had literally seconds of camera time per answer, altogether, about 6 minutes of camera time total. It had to convey emotion in an instant. Our solution was an abstract piece of generative art that took avatar took cues from the existing Smarter Planet icon campaign and made use of color, speed, and shape to convey ideas of data, intelligence, and even emotion. We worked with pioneering generative artist Joshua Davis to bring the idea to life. Overview Process Video The Avatar in action The Face of Watson from the What is Watson? Film Series And Conan O'Brien made his own avatar and let Andy Richter beat it down. The Avatar was displayed on a hi-def LCD screen situated behind the middle podium between Jennings and Rutter. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/66908/988013/5352910019_8492607a12_b_640.jpeg" width="640" height="426" width_o="1024" height_o="683" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/66908/988013/5352910019_8492607a12_b_o.jpeg" data-mid="4753607" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/66908/988013/Picture 27_640.png" width="640" height="426" width_o="897" height_o="598" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/66908/988013/Picture 27_o.png" data-mid="4753613" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/66908/988013/Picture 28_640.png" width="640" height="425" width_o="899" height_o="597" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/66908/988013/Picture 28_o.png" data-mid="4753615" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/66908/988013/Picture 29_640.png" width="640" height="426" width_o="899" height_o="599" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/66908/988013/Picture 29_o.png" data-mid="4753617" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/66908/988013/Picture 30_640.png" width="640" height="479" width_o="799" height_o="599" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/66908/988013/Picture 30_o.png" data-mid="4753618" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/66908/988013/5353517876_c91e1b02f7_b_640.jpeg" width="640" height="426" width_o="1024" height_o="683" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/66908/988013/5353517876_c91e1b02f7_b_o.jpeg" data-mid="4753608" border="0" align="left"/> We also created still versions of the Avatar for use in print.

Imagined as a thoroughly grass roots campaign, Hopenhagen encouraged people around the world to embrace the power of a global push for real change. Although the successes of the actual conference failed to address many of the problems our planet currently faces, the campaign proved that people around the world are ready to their leaders to listen and act. User created videos began to pop up around the internet, discussions blossomed in forums, Facebook pages turned green, and a soccer team even adopted the Hopenhagen name for a match.
