AI Museum for Humanity
at the Mars House
The AI Museum for Humanity is a groundbreaking cultural space where art, technology, and ethics come together to shape the future of AI. Hosted at the Mars House and conceived by artist Krista Kim, the museum is dedicated to exploring the potential of AI through art, design, and architecture while encouraging its responsible use and inspiring progress that benefits us all.
As the first museum of its kind, it will showcase artists and designers from around the world, curated by the Mars House Foundation, and invite visitors, both in person and in the metaverse, to discover how AI can unlock human potential. Through exhibitions, education programmes, and research focused on AI, this ethically driven museum will serve as a hub for learning, creativity, and collective growth.
A promising future
Computing and artificial intelligence (AI) represent two of the most groundbreaking and transformative technologies of our era. Computing, which operates on binary bits, processes information and performs calculations to solve complex problems. At the same time, AI leverages massive datasets to analyze, learn, and deliver insights or solutions to complex problems in moments. When combined, AI merges these revolutionary fields, offering unprecedented potential to tackle challenges that are otherwise unsolvable with traditional methods.
The intersection of AI, art, and science merges creativity and rigorous inquiry, fueling breakthroughs that enhance human potential and shape a promising future.
Our mission
Our mission is to champion human-centered innovation by advancing and pioneering technologies at the intersection of AI, art, and science.
The AI Museum for Humanity, managed by the Mars House Foundation, serves as a dynamic platform for exploring the transformative potential of AI for both individuals and society at large. Through a combination of cutting-edge research, immersive exhibitions, and interactive learning experiences, the museum aims to illuminate how AI can reshape our understanding of art, science, and human creativity. By fostering dialogue between technologists, artists, and thinkers, the museum encourages experimentation, inspires innovation, and invites the public to engage with the profound possibilities of emerging technologies in ways that are both accessible and thought-provoking.
Our inaugural initiative, the Mars House, is an immersive space designed by Krista Kim in collaboration with the internationally acclaimed architectural studio Vasconi Architects. It will host curated exhibitions, an international residency programme for artists, technologists, and thinkers, as well as a regular learning programme. The Mars House will also welcome visitors and offer select opportunities for overnight stays, providing an intimate first-hand experience within its unique environment.

A legacy of art and architecture commissions
Drawing inspiration from a rich legacy of international art and architectural commissions, the Mars House, home to the AI Museum for Humanity, is poised to become an iconic destination. Designed as a space to explore, learn, and reflect, it continues the tradition of immersive environments where visitors engage with groundbreaking spatial experiences. At the Mars House, cutting-edge technologies seamlessly interact with the surrounding natural landscape, creating a unique dialogue between innovation, art, and nature.
Designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe for the 1929 International Exposition in Barcelona to represent Germany, the Pavilion embodies modernity through radical simplicity, refined materials, and structural clarity. Its flowing plan, glass walls, and reflective surfaces evoke transparency and openness, symbolizing the era’s pursuit of technical progress and architectural innovation.
Part of the Serpentine Pavilion programme, which annually invites leading architects to create temporary landmark architecture in London, the 2009 Pavilion by Japanese architects SANAA featured a shimmering, reflective roof canopy supported by slender columns. Appearing to float above the landscape, it created a dreamlike space of lightness, fluidity, and openness.
James Turrell’s Roden Crater (1977 - ongoing) transforms an extinct Arizona volcano into a monumental observatory of light and sky. Through carefully engineered tunnels, chambers, and apertures, the work merges art, landscape, and astronomy. This lifelong project embodies Turrell’s vision of perception, aligning natural phenomena with technical mastery and cosmic scale.

Mars House Construction
Mars House utilizes a modular steel structure with cold-rolled purlins to optimize weight and carbon footprint. All structural elements are prefabricated and assembled on-site using bolted connections for maximum efficiency.
Steel structure of the ground floor based on a modular grid. The 2x3m grid elements will be assembled in a safe workshop environment allowing to provide highest industrial quality, while onsite works are significantly reduced. The standardization of the building design leads to a High systematization level of all mounting parts. Conflicts are solved during the planning process, not on site. The industrialized production based on the digital tatami grid will allow a high degree of integration of all fluids, electrical cabling and airducts. This way the construction of Mars House will be a unique experience in industrialisation of highly complex building systems.
The roof structure integrates LED ceiling modules, 300mm insulation, and a waterproofing layer with symphonic drainage. Desert photovoltaic modules partially power the building's integrated systems. The glazed walls serve as primary vertical structural elements, utilizing specialized stainless steel connectors for load transfer.
Steel structure of the ground floor based on a modular grid. The 2x3m grid elements have small pedestals that allow to adjust the level of the floor.
The foundation consists of a concrete slab housing a 15m² technical room (2.5m deep) containing essential systems: electrical heat pump, water pumps, pool filters, and batteries. LED modules conceal the technical room access. The infinity pool integration includes dedicated facilities for filtration, pumping, and cooling, maximizing resource efficiency.
Mars House incorporates cutting-edge technology throughout, featuring waterproof LED floors and ceilings based on a digital tatami grid. These IP65/IP54-rated modules ensure durability with anti-UV protection and weather resistance, creating a fully immersive environment.
The floorplan of the Mars House with extend of outside modular LED walls offering the immersive experience of the virtual model. A minimalistic design approach offering a unique experience with invisible technical installations assuring the best comfort for its users.
The innovative video floor system transforms spaces into interactive displays with superior grip characteristics. Its patented glass surface, enhanced by elevated ceramic dots, performs 30% better in wet conditions. This technology extends to the outdoor swimming pool, creating an immersive multimedia experience sealed with high-end silicon joints.
The heavy duty modular LED glass floor offers a great variety of floor screen activities on a high-end grip, easy to clean surface.
Interactive sensors throughout the floor enable dynamic user engagement and unlimited interactive possibilities.
The climate control system utilizes natural air density principles for efficient, silent cooling and humidity management.
The silent cooling allows to adjust the airflow by natural gravitation to the strict minimum that is needed to cool down the living space. Humidity is controlled and the condensed water can be reused for irrigation or as greywater.
The sophisticated air management system processes warm air through ceiling-level gratings and cooling units, maintaining optimal thermal comfort with minimal air velocity. Condensation management is integrated for high-humidity environments. Hybrid underfloor cooling convectors along glass walls provide additional climate control.
A very high power level for heating and cooling. Despite its compact dimensions, the trench climat unit is very powerful. Suitable for both light cooling (non-condensing) and deep cooling. All Climat channel units with a height of 10/13/19 come equipped with a condensation drain and have been developed to quietly generate high power levels within a compact space.
The kitchen and bathroom spaces feature mirrored glass-panel cubes with rounded edges, seamlessly integrating LED screens and control panels for comprehensive environmental management.
A holistic experience
The Mars House furniture collection, designed by Krista Kim, is at the heart of the digital art experience, shaping not just the space but the way it is felt. Each piece engages with light, shadow, and movement, creating a rhythm that guides visitors through a meditative journey of presence and connection.
More than functional objects, the furniture becomes part of a living environment, where reflections, glows, and subtle interactions between elements invite calm, introspection, and wonder. The arrangement encourages guests to pause, breathe, and engage with both the space and themselves, transforming the house into a sanctuary of wellness, creativity, and shared experience. In this way, Mars House is not simply inhabited, it is experienced, emotionally and spiritually, as a harmonious landscape of art and life.
