Highlights

Inaugural exhibition of Dataland, the Museum of AI Arts

"Machine Dreams: Rainforest" serves as the inaugural exhibition for Dataland, the Museum of AI Arts. Hosted at Frank Gehry’s the Grand LA in Los Angeles, California, this exhibition is scheduled to run from June 20, 2026, through January 31, 2027.

The exhibition, developed by Refik Anadol Studio, occupies five galleries and 25,000 square feet of public space. It aims to reframe the museum as a site of continuous artistic production, where art is not a static object but dynamically emerges through the interaction of data, computation, and human engagement.

A key component of the exhibition is the Large Nature Model (LNM), which is described as the world’s first open-access multimodal AI. The LNM has been exclusively trained on nature data, leveraging over 500 million responsibly sourced images from institutions including the Smithsonian, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Getty, iNaturalist, and London’s Natural History Museum. The model operates on Google Cloud infrastructure in Oregon, utilizing 87% carbon-free renewable energy.
