Refik Anadol's Dataland: AI-Powered 'Living Museum' to Revolutionize Art in Downtown LA by 2025
September 24, 2024Dataland aims to merge architecture and artificial intelligence, creating a new art form known as generative reality.
The museum will feature a substantial 20,000-square foot space with four gallery areas, positioning itself as a key part of the $1-billion Grand L.A. development.
Refik Anadol is set to launch a groundbreaking venture called Dataland at The Grand in downtown Los Angeles by the end of 2025.
This 'living museum' will utilize Anadol's AI model, the Large Nature Model, which draws data from major institutions like the Smithsonian and the Natural History Museum.
Anadol has gained recognition as a leader in AI-generated art, with notable projects including a commission at LA's new Intuit Dome.
The museum is developed by Refik Anadol Studio, co-founded by Anadol and Erkılıç in 2014, and aims to present AI art without the constraints of traditional art gatekeepers.
Efsun Erkılıç expressed enthusiasm about the museum's potential to push creative boundaries and foster community engagement through art and data.
Anadol envisions a high-tech museum space equipped with cloud computing and advanced sensors to elevate the artistic experience.
Anadol emphasizes the importance of ethical AI, ensuring that all sourced materials are obtained with permission and that renewable energy is used for AI research.
Dataland will focus on data visualization and algorithmic innovation, offering unique experiences through machine learning and advanced sensory technologies.
To enhance visitor experiences, the museum will incorporate AI-powered scents, developed in collaboration with a scent-making company.
The architectural design by Frank Gehry will integrate seamlessly with advanced AI technology, creating a new type of immersive art experience.
