Team: Technology
Reports to: Technology Manager
Location: On-site at Dataland, The Grand LA, Downtown Los Angeles, CA
Salary Range: $90,000 – $120,000 (based on experience)
Dataland is not just a museum. We are the world’s first institution dedicated to the AI Arts — a new cultural paradigm where data is the pigment, machine intelligence is the collaborator, and human imagination is the guide. Conceived by artist Refik Anadol Studio and opening in 2026 within the iconic Frank Gehry-designed The Grand LA, Dataland is a new landmark in the cultural heart of Los Angeles.
We are building a global ecosystem for data-driven art, ethical AI research, and immersive experiences that have never been realized at this scale or quality. Our mission is to explore what it means to be human in the age of AI, transforming vast, unseen datasets into poetic, sensory realities. We are a team of artists, engineers, storytellers, and strategists building the cultural institution of the 22nd century. This is your opportunity to build it with us.
As our Head of A/V, you will lead and manage the complex digital and physical infrastructure that brings Dataland’s groundbreaking experiences to life. You are not just maintaining systems — you are building the heartbeat of a museum where data itself becomes art.
Pioneer: Lead the design, integration, and maintenance of cutting-edge audiovisual systems that power Dataland’s immersive environments, ensuring seamless operation across sound, video, and control systems.
Create: Engineer and optimize high-availability A/V architectures capable of delivering 4K UHD video, L-ISA spatial audio, and large-scale LED systems with precision and reliability.
Collaborate: Work alongside artists, creative technologists, data scientists, and curators to translate conceptual installations into technically robust, sensory experiences.
Innovate: Develop and prototype new A/V workflows that merge art, live performance, and machine learning technologies. Integrate emerging media networks and intelligent control systems to expand what’s possible in immersive art.
Shape: Establish best practices, standard operating procedures, and maintenance programs for Dataland’s A/V ecosystem. Build and lead a small, high-performance team to support ongoing operations and future expansions.
You are an A/V visionary with a builder’s mindset — equally comfortable on a ladder swapping components as you are designing a future-proof media network. You thrive in environments where art meets technology and love solving complex, multi-disciplinary challenges.
Build a Legacy: Be a foundational member of a team redefining the cultural landscape.
Work with the Best: Collaborate with Refik Anadol Studio and world-class engineers, artists, and scientists.
Unparalleled Environment: Work on-site at a Frank Gehry–designed architectural icon in Downtown LA.
Competitive Rewards: Competitive salary, performance bonus, and comprehensive benefits including:
Human creativity and the data of our world are universally diverse. At Dataland, we are committed to building a team that reflects that truth. We welcome people of all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We are an equal opportunity employer and believe that our mission is best served by a team rich in diversity of thought and lived experience.
