Digital artist Beeple is set to make his German institutional debut at Berlin’s Neue Nationalgalerie with "Regular Animals" (2025), an installation featuring ten robotic dogs with heads modeled after tech moguls like Elon Musk and iconic artists like Pablo Picasso. The sculptures, which gained viral fame at Art Basel Miami Beach, use AI to process their surroundings and "defecate" stylized prints for visitors. The 11-day pop-up presentation will place Beeple’s work in dialogue with Nam June Paik’s "Andy Warhol Robot" (1994), exploring the intersection of art, media, and mechanical reproduction.

Digital artist Beeple, also known as Mike Winkelmann, has deployed a robotic dog featuring the likeness of Elon Musk to the streets of San Francisco. The viral stunt, orchestrated by the Palo Alto-based Node Foundation, serves as a teaser for the artist's upcoming mid-career survey, "INFINITE_LOOP," which opens on April 18. The robot, part of the "Regular Animals" series, interacts with the public by "pooping" printed images generated from its surroundings through an algorithm based on Musk’s visage.
