beeple robot dogs neue nationalgalerie berlin

Digital artist Beeple is bringing his viral robotic installation, "Regular Animals (2025)," to the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin this April. The work features a pack of AI-powered robotic dogs with heads modeled after tech moguls like Elon Musk and art icons like Pablo Picasso, which roam a pen, capture images of the audience, and "eject" AI-filtered prints from their rears. The presentation will coincide with Gallery Weekend Berlin and include a dialogue with Nam June Paik’s "Andy Warhol Robot (1994)."

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.

‘It is not good or bad’: in a frantic age, Beeple seeks a more nuanced take on technology

Digital artist Mike Winkelmann, known as Beeple, is expanding his practice beyond the record-breaking NFT sale of *Everydays: The First 5,000 Days* (2021) into interactive video sculptures and public art. His latest works, *The Tree of Knowledge* (2024) and *Diffuse Control* (2025), debut this month at SXSW London and The Shed in New York, respectively. These generative pieces allow ongoing collaboration between artist, owner, and public, building on his earlier kinetic sculpture *Human One* (2021), which has toured globally. Beeple continues his daily social media posts (Everydays) as a form of satire and commentary on technology and media noise.
