‘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.
