Dear friends, I’m deeply honored to announce that our artwork Unsupervised has been acquired by MoMA and is now in the museum’s permanent collection! The exhibition is closing on the 29th of October. This acquisition marks a grand milestone in our studio’s journey and also for digital art. It inscribes a historic chapter as MoMA welcomes the first Generative AI and tokenized artwork into its esteemed permanent collection. I am infinitely grateful to our curators Michelle Kuo, Paola Antonelli, and Stuart Comer for their wisdom and the entire MoMA team’s genuine support and collaboration since the beginning of the project. We are also profoundly thankful to our collectors, Ryan Zurrer, Pablo Rodriguez-Fraile, and Desiree Casoni, and NVIDIA for supporting our journey. For almost a year now, our artwork brought the museum audience joy, inspiration, and hope! Thank you, New York and all the visitors of MoMA from my heart! @themuseumofmodernart #newyork

Transforming the world’s largest digital canvas into an AI Data Sculpture.

Dear friends, yesterday night was historic! We felt the true love and power of public art and honored the genius of Gaudí by using his incredible facade of Casa Batlló as a canvas, his entire life’s dataset as a light pigment, together! Living Architecture : Casa Batlló was for anyone, any age and culture! Thank you so much Barcelona from my heart! Sound design @kerimkarao — Sevgili dostlar, dün gece tarihi bir geceydi! Kamusal sanatın yarattığı gerçek sevgiyi ve gücünü hissettik. Casa Batlló'nun inanılmaz cephesini bir tuval olarak, Gaudi’nin tüm yaşamının veri setini bir ışık pigmenti olarak birlikte kullanıp Gaudí'nin dehasını onurlandırdık! “Yaşayan Mimari : Casa Batlló” herkes, her yaş ve kültür içindi! Barselona'ya tüm kalbimle çok teşekkür ederim! #barcelona #gaudi #casabatllo #ai

Dear friends, super excited to remember our collaboration with the wonderful @philorch and @nezetseguin for Beethoven — Missa Solemnis 2.0! We created a realtime AI Data Sculpture trained on Renaissance era architecture, sculpture and paintings and able to listen amazing 150 musicians while they are performing! It’s a dynamic and ever changing artwork to connect us to the world of imagination in the age of machine intelligence with arts. #datasculpture #philorch #philadelphia

Dear friends, Living Architecture: Casa Batlló was our proof of concept—a moment where Gaudí‘s masterpiece building became a living memory. Responsive. Emotional. Alive. Now, that philosophy expands into an entire reality. At DATALAND, living architecture isn’t just one iconic facade—it’s a permanent ecosystem. Inside our Living Galleries, the Large Nature Model doesn’t just display data; it dreams it. Light, sound, scent, and your presence fuse into a shared, evolving experience. Casa Batlló was the door. DATALAND is the world beyond it. See you soon! :)🚪➡️🌍

Happy New Year! Deeply grateful for 2025 and to you all! As we look back on 2025, we’re grateful for a year of meaningful transformation and for the journey we shared. From Davos to Venice, Paris to Dubai, Bilbao to Istanbul—across 5 continents, 19 cities, and 12 major exhibitions—our work reached millions worldwide. Along the way, we helped raise $1.87M for UNICEF through Living Memory: Messi at Christie’s and $1M to support the Yawanawá’s and 2.5 million acres in Amazonia, proving AI art can be a force for care, culture, and justice. Rooted in ethical data and sustainable computation, our AI systems are living collaborators. Always learning. Always becoming. The future isn’t something to fear. It’s something we shape together. Not replacement, but amplification. Not competition, but co-creation. Thank you for dreaming with us. See you at DATALAND 🌿

Dear friends, I’m so excited to share our final and most ambitious permanent AI arts project for 2025 — Machine Dreams: Biophilia, commissioned by Google for their new headquarters, Gradient Canopy. The project began nearly two years ago to support Large Nature Model research. To create this work, Refik Anadol Studio collected 2 petabytes of audio and imagery from four distinct California biomes by traveling through the Redwoods, Ocean, Bay, and Foothills. It was combined with publicly available ecological datasets to train our Large Nature Model (LNM) sustainably in Google Cloud using renewable energy. Local weather data from each biome is used in real time to generate text prompts in the latest Gemini, guiding the LNM’s exploration of the datasets. As the weather changes, so do the dreamed images and evolving soundscapes, reflecting nature’s constant motion—a living AI Data Painting on 15 meters high 3D AI Data Sculpture that harmonizes perfectly with nature. The breakthrough technology behind the artwork will also power Dataland, and I cannot wait to share more soon. I am deeply grateful to the team that worked so hard on this epic and unique project, and to Google Leadership and scientists for their ongoing support of our studio since 2015! Thank you!

Dear friends, Our studio’s latest project of 2025, Data Tunnel — LNM, with 148 million pixels in a 100-meter-long tunnel, is a new benchmark in Media Arts and Architecture, transforming an iconic cultural landmark in Gorizia, Italy! Open and free for everyone. Happy holidays! :)

Dear friends, I am deeply heartbroken to share the loss of our Maestro, Frank Gehry. To the world, he was an architect; to me, he was a hero, a mentor, and a profound source of wisdom. Over the last decade, I had the immense privilege of dreaming alongside him—from painting with data and light on the Walt Disney Concert Hall for LA Phil Centennial and the most recent Guggenheim Bilbao Museum to realizing our dream Dataland in his final masterpiece, The Grand LA. Frank taught us that architecture is fluid, alive, and eternal. We commit to carrying his legacy forward in everything we create. Thank you for everything, Maestro. Rest in Peace. 🙏

Dear friends, big news from Art Basel Miami — our last unique edition of Winds of Yawanawa sold for more than $1 million to benefit directly 2.5 million acres of land protection and 19 Indigenous tribes of Amazon Rainforest!

Dear friends, From the World Economic Forum... to the United Nations HQ... to the Serpentine Galleries. 🌐 The Large Nature Model has traveled the world. But its biggest chapter is just beginning. We are proud to announce that the most advanced version of our ethical, open-source nature data research is landing at its permanent home: @datalandmuseum in Los Angeles! 🏙️🌿 Mark your calendars: Spring 2026. Which previous version of LNM did you see? Let us know in the comments! 👇
