For the KÖNIG GALERIE Anadol created two unique NFT options: the AI data sculpture NATURE DREAMS, and his public projection, WINDS OF BERLIN, which is the first time a generative public artwork in Berlin was offered in NFT form. Nature Dreams turns datasets into latent multi-sensory experiences to commemorate the beauty of the earth by utilizing over 300 million publicly available photographs of nature collected between 2018- 2021 at Refik Anadol Studio. Combined, this represents the largest raw dataset of nature ever gathered for an artwork, which was then used to train a GAN AI algorithm.
