Dear friends, my heart is so full today. I am thrilled to announce that we are officially opening the doors to DATALAND on June 20th! 🏛️✨ Building the world’s first Museum of AI Arts at The Grand LA has been the journey of a lifetime for me, Efsun and our studio. We cannot wait to welcome you all to step inside these immersive, nature-inspired data worlds and experience the true creative potential of human and machine collaboration. Thank you for believing in this vision and dreaming with us. See you in Los Angeles on June 20th! 🌍🕊️🤖

@DatalandMuseum, the world’s first Museum of AI Arts, will open to the public on June 20, 2026. Located at The Grand LA, the Frank Gehry-designed complex in the heart of downtown Los Angeles, DATALAND is the newest addition to the performing arts and cultural institutions that comprise the Grand Avenue Cultural District. DATALAND’s inaugural exhibition, 'Machine Dreams: Rainforest,' created by @refikanadol , will unfold across five galleries as a narrative of a deepening relationship between machine intelligence and the natural world. 'Machine Dreams: Rainforest' will be on view from Saturday, June 20, 2026 to Sunday, January 31, 2027, only at DATALAND.

Dear friends, big announcement on Thursday!

Dear Friends, Years ago, standing deep in the Amazon rainforest with Efsun, I realized I was not observing nature — I was standing inside a living intelligence. The forest was computing its own environment, translating invisible forces into physical form. That experience changed everything. 🌿 For ten years, we painted with data. Light was our brush. Buildings were our canvas. The pigments never dried because they were never physical. But we never stopped thinking about the canvas — the real one. The one you can touch. For the past year, our studio has been quietly building a bridge. We connected our Large Nature Model to advanced robotics, and for the first time, we are translating the memory of the Earth and the emotions of our collectors into real, physical brushstrokes. Real canvas. Real pigment. Human + Machine collaboration. 🤖🎨 Today, I am proud to share QUALIA — the first physical data painting series by our studio. 365 unique editions. Private sale. See you at DATALAND. ✨

GM friends, super excited to announce our new machine intelligence research and art work series tomorrow for @datalandmuseum !

Thank you for your response to our next epic announcement! This new private sale collection will make DATALAND a powerful new institution for all kinds of art, enabling us to grow together and own its new collection! Next Saturday!

Dear friends, For ten years, we painted with data. Now, we are stepping onto the physical canvas. A breakthrough in human + machine collaboration, driven by our Large Nature Model. 7 days until we reveal the bridge. 365 unique physical editions. Private sale. Coming soon!

Dear friends, tomorrow we will announce an exciting art project we have been working hard on for our first exhibition at Dataland. We are excited to share more and start a new body of work.

.@refikanadol, your creative commitment to Los Angeles is inspiring, from your service at UCLA Arts to your bold move dreaming up and building @DatalandMuseum. And yes, it is *a tiny bit* nerve-wracking showing *you* this portrait from our new series with @ManOneArt.

Dear friends, I’ve been deep in the trenches building @DatalandMuseum with the brilliant studio team. Using social media much less to focus and be sure it reaches new places we never felt. We are trying truly very hard to fulfill our promises; they touch our minds and souls.

A building is no longer just a CAD file. These beautiful reflections on our work perfectly capture the exact philosophy driving DATALAND. We are treating data as a living substance to cultivate an institution that has a memory, a personality, and a sense of wonder. 🏛️🧠✨

GM! Excited to share our 2 years long new artwork series in the coming days! For Dataland, I’ve been dreaming new Data Painting series and this will be a fresh and fun way of making invisible, visible!
