Originally scheduled for a fall 2025 opening, Dataland is the upcoming museum of AI art created by digital artist Refik Anadol, now internationally famous for his kinetic, data- and fluid-inspired “living art” installations – previously featured at LA’s Jeffrey Dietch Gallery, the Sphere in Las Vegas, NYC’s MoMA, and locations throughout Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. Located at The Grand across the street from the Walt Disney Concert Hall and The Broad, Dataland held its first public (pop-up) preview in October 2025 ahead of a revised Spring 2026 launch.
As perhaps the best current example of “good AI art,” Dataland plans to explore “how human and machine intelligence can co-create new forms of beauty, knowledge, and experience.” Initial exhibits include translucent, morphing images of nature – flower, ocean, and forest scenes – with accompanying AI-generated scent cards, computer terminals with 2D/3D-image creating access to Anadol’s sustainably trained AI system “Living Encyclopedia,” and 3D-printed, AI-generated coral sculptures. Video screens also offered previews of upcoming generative AI-based immersive infinity rooms. We can’t wait for the official opening.
