Hidden Portraits: Thomas J. Watson
Thomas J. Watson, former chairman and CEO of IBM, started his career as a $6/week salesman. During his early years with the company that became IBM, Watson coined the motto “THINK.”
He’s featured in the Art with Watson series, Hidden Portraits. 15 artists teamed up with Watson to discover and illuminate the unknown essence of seven of history’s greatest thinkers using data.
What Watson thinks: IBM Watson used a variety of APIs, including Natural Language Understanding and Visual Recognition, to analyze the data behind the former IBM chairman and CEO, finding an 86.75% relevancy between Thomas J. Watson’s speeches and lyrics from the 1960s’ worldwide rock ‘n’ roll revolution.
About the artwork: The artist created a mixed-media portrait of Thomas J. Watson that combines seminal IBM iconography with allusions to 1960s rock ‘n’ roll album art.

Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It's quite simple, really: Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn't at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, so go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that's where you will find success.
