Dear Los Angeles, We are deeply grateful for your wonderful response to DATALAND. We worked so hard to share with you one of the most beautiful ways we know to experience art today — and you welcomed it with open hearts. Since we opened our doors, we’ve watched you move slowly through the living galleries, pause in The Sanctuary, and wear a scent that existed nowhere in the world until your own emotions made it. DATALAND was built on a simple, stubborn dream: that art could be not only shown to you, but grown — from the living world, and from you. It rests on the Large Nature Model, an AI we trained on nature itself ethically, together with the Smithsonian, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and our dear friends in the Yawanawá community. We think this makes the experience a little different — not louder, not bigger, but more alive, and more yours. This is only the beginning, and there is no city we’d rather begin it in. With deep gratitude and wonder, RAS & DATALAND Team 91.7K likes · 638 comments · 30 Jun 2026 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 296.9K likes · 4,030 comments · 11 Oct 2023 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 653.9K likes · 6,895 comments · 06 May 2023 A flower blooms one night in Amazonia.

The Large Nature Model was made with artists, scientists, architects and engineers, trained on permission-based data and sustainable computing, and designed to listen to nature in real time — not to imitate what already exists. How we create matters as much as what we create. DATALAND, the world’s first Museum of AI Arts, is now open in Los Angeles.

In 2023, with nearly one billion images of Gaudí’s universe — his sketches, his archives, his beloved Barcelona — and the city’s winds and light flowing in real time, we asked a machine to dream with the greatest architect of nature. And Casa Batlló came alive, before 50,000 friends on Passeig de Gràcia and millions around the world. Gaudí believed nature was the ultimate architect. That belief changed us forever — and it lives on in every pixel of @datalandmuseum What began as a dream on a façade in Barcelona is now a permanent home in Los Angeles, where data, nature, and machine intelligencr become living architecture every single day. From Gaudí’s dragon rooftop to Gehry’s Grand LA — one continuous dream. 🌊 Forever grateful to the visionary @casabatllo family for trusting us with a masterpiece, to Barcelona for embracing us so generously, to our studio family who poured their hearts into every frame, and to Gaudí — our eternal teacher. The sense of wonder is where everything begins. 🙏 50.8K likes · 365 comments · 29 Aug 2026
