'Museum of AI Arts' to open in L.A.
I wonder if AI agents, bots and children will be admitted free.
The world’s first “Museum of AI Arts” is opening next year in Los Angeles, California. It’s called DATALAND.
The museum will feature immersive, AI-generated artwork exclusively — AI data paintings, AI data sculptures, and “generative reality experiences,” whatever that means. Promoters say it will be a “living museum made of pixels and voxels (three-dimensional units of digital information that represent points in a 3D space).
Alarmingly, the museum’s artworks will use not only visual elements and sounds but also smells, using an AI model trained on 500,000 different smells.
The project is being founded by artists Refik Anadol and Efsun Erkiliç and funded by Related California (the same real estate group behind downtown L.A. The Grand LA development where the museum will be located).
The museum’s AI-generated artworks will include Refik Anadol Studio's Large Nature Model, an open-source AI model based on nature data. The model will be available for public use.
I want to disparage the project. But in fact, this will no doubt prove to be a great place to immerse oneself in bleeding-edge AI imagery and ponder the question: What the fuck are we doing?
