Refik Anadol Studio announced plans for the world’s first AI arts museum

Dataland will be located near iconic arts venues like MOCA, the Broad Museum, and Walt Disney Concert Hall, designed by Frank Gehry, and will unite experts in arts, science, AI, and technology, offering groundbreaking experiences with machine learning and advanced visualization technologies. The museum will feature a public repository for large-scale nature data sets and a comprehensive collection of AI art.

Founded by Refik Anadol and Efsun Erkiliç in 2014, the studio is known for pioneering AI data models, AI data painting, and sculptures, with notable work in NFTs since 2020. The studio’s Machine Hallucinations was featured at Las Vegas Sphere in 2023, and Large Data Model: Coral was presented at the UN's Summit of the Future. Dataland’s inaugural exhibition will feature the Large Nature Model, the world’s first open-source AI model based on nature data.

Designed with architecture firm Gensler and sustainable consultancy Arup, Dataland will push the boundaries of what a museum can be by blending human imagination with machine intelligence.
