“Planet of Intelligence” is the latest art installation that inhabits the gardens of Taguspark – City of Knowledge, in Oeiras Valley, integrated in the Museum of Urban Art.
Developed from the symbiosis between human and artificial intelligence, “Planet of Intelligence” is the result of lunchtime conversations by the Taguspark team.
“There were lunches and moments of leisure outdoors, real brainstorming, where we took the opportunity to enjoy the gardens and the green space that surrounds us, while using an artificial intelligence tool for the visual realization of the ideas that were emerging”, explains Eduardo Baptista Correia, CEO of Taguspark. “The themes evolved until the idea of the Terrestrial Globe, that image of the globe of our childhood, took shape and evolved physically”, he concludes.
With a weight of 4.5 tons, the newest piece of art that is part of the collection of MAU – Museu de Arte Urbana do Taguspark was made by Gate 7, which ensured the conception of the details, the design of structures, the production and installation of the piece.
Composed of a metallic structure that uncovers the meridians and parallels, and fiberglass and polyester resin that gives shape to the continents, the “Planet of Intelligence” structure is located next to the access to the Instituto Superior Técnico, from Avenida Professor Doutor Cavaco Silva.
On a tour of the gardens and garages of the most civic park in Europe, it is possible to discover challenging and creative works by several nationally recognized Portuguese artists. Because creativity has no limits and the Taguspark ecosystem is based on science and technology, we left the challenge of discovering an art structure that results from conversations between employees, from the design created by artificial intelligence and that human hands helped to be born.
