REFIK ANADOL
Director and Pioneer in the Aesthetics of Data and Machine Intelligence, Refik Anadol Studio
Refik Anadol is redefining the scale and ambition of digital art through his groundbreaking use of data as pigment and machine learning as a collaborator. From illuminating the Sphere in Las Vegas to training the world’s first Large Nature Model and opening DATALAND right here in Los Angeles, his studio's work demands massive compute and pushes the absolute boundaries of modern rendering pipelines.
At RenderCon 2026, he will dive into the realities of scaling spatial, cinematic experiences and what it actually takes to bring complex AI world models into real production.
From data sculptures to AI-driven architecture, Refik has redefined what immersive art can be - 60 Minutes recently visited RenderCon speaker's LA studio, DATALAND - a fully immersive AI experience where scents are generated in real time and visitors’ vital signs shape the environment itself.
