Organized by TIME magazine, the TIME100 Impact Awards is a prestigious program that honors visionary leaders across various fields. From scientists and artists to technology pioneers and activists, these awards recognize individuals who not only achieve remarkable success in a given year but also create a lasting impact. Since its launch in 2022, the event has highlighted global changemakers, emphasizing their enduring contributions to society.
According to an article published on TIME’s website, one of this year’s award recipients is Refik Anadol, who utilizes artificial intelligence as an artistic tool to merge data with aesthetics.

His groundbreaking projects, including Unsupervised—the first generative AI artwork acquired by MoMA—and his large-scale data sculpture at the Las Vegas Sphere, have drawn significant attention. Additionally, the article mentions his upcoming AI art museum, Dataland, set to open in Los Angeles in 2025, as a key milestone in his career.
