The First AI Art Museum to Open in Los Angeles by Refik Anadol in 2025

TapTechNews September 30th news, according to The Guardian's report on the 25th, media artist Refik Anadol announced that he will open the world's first artificial intelligence art museum in Los Angeles, USA, and this museum will highlight the intersection of human imagination and the potential of machine creation.

This museum is named Dataland and is expected to open by the end of 2025, adjacent to the locations of the Museum of Contemporary Art, The Broad Museum, and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, creating a space for AI art among the most prestigious cultural venues in Los Angeles.

Refik Anadol promised that this museum will promote ethical AI and use renewable energy. He and his team of artists and technical experts hope to reshape the museum in the AI era through Dataland, while highlighting the innovative works of digital artists and providing space for ongoing scientific and technological research. AI is not a tool. AI goes beyond tools. Literally, in human history, we have never had intelligence as a technology.

Anadol believes that it is crucial for artists to build their own AI tools, and simply using tools created by others is not enough. This museum will focus on displaying data sets collected from an ethical perspective, such as his Large Natural Model (TapTechNews note: an open-source generative AI tool built by sharing data from the Smithsonian Institution, the British Natural History Museum, and other well-known institutions).

The AI art museum will start as a for-profit enterprise, but Refik Anadol said that if his project can get the support of patrons, he is willing to develop in a non-profit direction. AI art is a completely new art form that has never been explored before, and it's just the beginning now.
