From the release:

DATALAND opens June 20, 2026 in Downtown Los Angeles. Under the artistic leadership of Refik Anadol Studio, DATALAND is conceived as a living museum where architecture is no longer static, but part of an intelligent framework.

Built without compromise, it utilizes the most advanced technologies available and redefines artistic expression in the age of machine intelligence. DATALAND’s inaugural exhibition, Machine Dreams: Rainforest, marks the beginning of this vision.

Machine Dreams: Rainforest unfolds across DATALAND’s five galleries as a narrative of a deepening relationship between humans, machine intelligence, and the natural world, and asks vital questions. If nature is an intelligence that translates invisible forces into form, what happens when a machine learns to speak its language? And can an AI trained on the memory of Earth generate not just imagery, but empathy for nature?

The exhibition is Refik’s ambitious vision to reveal the invisible intelligence of the natural world through interrelated sensory experiences that bring audiences into direct, immediate contact with nature’s complexity. Through advanced AI systems processing immense ecological datasets and biofeedback from audiences in real time, the works generate an emergent, living reality.
