Winkelmann's 'Regular Animals' opens at Berlin's New National Gallery
Berlin's New National Gallery is now home to Regular Animals, an art show where robot dogs wear the lifelike heads of icons like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Andy Warhol.
Created by artist Beeple (Mike Winkelmann), the exhibit has already turned heads in Miami and San Francisco before landing in Berlin.
Winkelmann's robot dogs print influencer images
Each dog prints out images matching its influencer head; think Warhol-style pop art or tech-inspired graphics.
Beeple uses this quirky setup to question how much power tech billionaires have over what we see online, even adding his own head to make the point.
The robots are programmed to die after three years, but some prints were linked to free NFTs, and the project is slated to be preserved on-chain after three years, so the conversation keeps going long after the show wraps up.
