Dataland Founding Digital Collection
Biome Lumina
About
The Dataland Founding Digital Collection, Biome Lumina, is the first series of 1,000 unique living paintings on blockchain by Refik Anadol Studio for Dataland. Biome Lumina represents a bold new frontier in generative art. As the artwork emerges and transforms, its structure and luminescence is directly shaped by the incoming environmental data from rainforests around the globe. Collectors will be able to engage in dynamic conversations with the artwork through a generative AI interface trained on environmental knowledge and datasets. Each piece is accompanied by AI soundscapes based on a precise network of sensors monitoring atmospheric dynamics and ground conditions. Biome Lumina sets the stage for things to come. It is an invitation to enter an ongoing collaboration between nature, code and collector, exemplifying a world in which technology is not a disconnection from the Earth—but a return to it.
Data Collection
Biome Lumina is the first collection powered by the Large Nature Model a generative AI system trained on 2.4 million ethically collected images of flora, fauna, and fungi, along with rainforest sound recordings, pigment analyses, and biosensor signals. Our own team of scientists, engineers and researchers collect much of this data, having traveled to 16 rainforest sites—from Chile to Indonesia to Australia—equipped with LiDAR, photogrammetry, and environmental sensors that measure the heartbeat of the forest.
Metamorphosis
After minting (purchasing), each Biome Lumina undergoes a metamorphosis in its incubator. The living painting evolves within its virtual transparent shell, processing the environmental data, creating a slow, continuous transformation, until it is revealed in its final form.
Collector Set
Collectors of Biome Lumina receive the artwork in three distinct mediums: a Generative AI Data Painting paired with a museum-quality 24″x44″ print, and a Living Painting on My.Dataland that responds to real-time data input.
