'Machines are collaborators' at this new museum of AI art

Social captions

Ready to paste. Held to the same standard as the narration — every claim in every caption traces to an entered fact, and the trace is in the receipt.

A museum dedicated entirely to AI art just opened. Here's what it looks like.

Refik Anadol, a Los Angeles-based artist, created Dataland. An immersive space where generative AI becomes the medium itself. The work on these walls wasn't painted or sculpted. It was learned.

Watch the full story.

MoMA acquired an AI artwork for its permanent collection in 2023.

That piece, called Unsupervised, was created by Refik Anadol using generative AI. It was the first of its kind. Now Anadol has built an entire museum around this idea. That machines and artists can work together.

Refik Anadol made Time's 100 most influential figures in AI for 2025.

The Los Angeles artist opened Dataland this year. An immersive museum built around a single premise: generative AI as a creative tool. His earlier work Unsupervised was acquired by MoMA's permanent collection. The first AI artwork to receive that recognition.

Refik Anadol uploaded millions of Smithsonian records into an AI model.

The result was projected onto the Smithsonian Castle facade. Specimens, manuscripts, scientific records. All processed through generative AI to create something entirely new. This is how institutions are beginning to think about technology. Not as replacement. As collaboration.

A museum dedicated to AI art just opened in Los Angeles. Here's what it reveals.

Refik Anadol created Dataland. An immersive space where generative AI is the medium. His work Unsupervised became the first AI artwork acquired by MoMA. Now he's building institutions around this idea. That machines and humans can create together.

Refik Anadol grew up watching Blade Runner on a Commodore 64. Now he's building museums.

The Los Angeles artist opened Dataland this year. An immersive AI art museum. He's also collaborated with Lionel Messi on an installation that reconstructed memories of a career-defining goal. And uploaded millions of Smithsonian records into generative AI. His work shows us something: machines aren't replacing creativity. They're expanding it.
