DATALAND
How an AI Museum Disappointed Me

by | Sep 26, 2026

Milosh Soberman is 14 years old and does not like art. He recently visited Dataland, “the world’s first Museum of AI Arts.

With this being an AI museum, I thought I wouldn’t need to show up in order to write a review. “Dataland” isn’t what you initially picture when your friend pokes your brain with the phrase “It’s an AI museum.” Depending on what you’re seeing in each screen-filled room, a device that sits on your neck sprays cheap cologne on it. This experience may sound fantastic and flawless, but on top of being disappointing, it may cause nausea and epileptic seizures; it’s too immersive. At the beginning, the art is about HOW it’s displayed more than WHAT is displayed. At the end, the exhibit shows you a short video clip that is generated based on your actions in the building. I’m not quite satisfied with my actions because they gave me an anticlimactic clip of slime and a blurry leaf.

The entire show was about nature, technology, and how they influence each other. One room of the exhibition continuously zoomed in on canyons with rivers inside of a bird’s eye. Despite the experience’s beauty and details, it looked like AI-generatedwallpapers with no variety. However,if created by humans it would seem like the greatest piece of media on the planet. I don’t like AI since it’s taking jobs, and I can’t use it in school for subjects that it has already taken over. My final opinion of the exhibition is that the final room, no matter how anti-climactic, was still the most impressive piece in the exhibition. Looking back, the museum was still an interesting and cool concept
