Refik Anadol is a pioneering artist who creates immersive installations, sculptures, paintings, and live audio/visual performances using AI, machine learning, and data science. He’s partnered with teams at Microsoft, Google, IBM, NASA, and more to apply the latest cutting-edge science, research, and tech to his mesmerizing creations.

All of this considered, it should come as no surprise that Anadol has also fully embraced the NFT space. His ‘Machine Hallucinations’ NFT series sold for more than $13 million in late 2021, and May 10 will mark his first-ever Christie’s auction featuring his piece ‘Casa Batlló: Living Architecture.’ As a passionate advocate for technology’s game-changing potential, Anadol is working to bridge the gap between URL and IRL in increasingly innovative ways. This includes ‘Dataland,’ a multisensory, real-time metaverse where the physical and virtual connect.

In our latest episode of the nft now podcast we cover what Anadol believes are the biggest misconceptions about AI, the origins of his ‘Living Architecture’ collection, why bridging URL and IRL is key to bringing NFTs to the masses, his “humble” take on the metaverse, and much more.
