Set to open in 2025 at The Grand LA, Frank Gehry’s landmark development in Downtown Los Angeles, DATALAND will emerge as the world’s first museum dedicated to AI-generated art and digital innovation. Under the artistic leadership of Refik Anadol Studio, the institution unites pioneers across arts, science, AI research, and technology, positioning itself alongside the city’s premier visual and performing arts institutions. Its immersive, algorithm-driven exhibitions will leverage machine learning and sensory technologies to transform vast datasets—from environmental patterns to urban ecosystems—into dynamic, evolving installations.

DATALAND will offer unparalleled public access through hybrid physical and digital platforms, including interactive learning tools and a global repository of nature-centric datasets. The museum’s mission emphasizes democratizing AI creativity, featuring a permanent collection of machine-generated art and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration. Large-scale installations, workshops, and residencies will invite visitors to engage with AI’s potential as both an artistic medium and a tool for reimagining humanity’s relationship with data.
Committed to ethical data practices, DATALAND aims to set global standards for the curation and presentation of AI-driven art. By bridging human imagination with machine intelligence, the institution pioneers a new model for cultural spaces in the digital age, challenging traditional boundaries between art, technology, and education.
