At Berlin's Neue Nationalgalerie museum, American artist Beeple has unveiled an innovative installation titled 'Regular Animals', featuring robotic dogs adorned with lifelike silicone masks of prominent figures such as Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Kim Jong Un. These robo-dogs not only roam the museum but also utilize integrated cameras to capture images of their environment, which are then processed by artificial intelligence to create prints reflecting various cultural and ideological styles. Visitors receive these prints free of charge. The project serves as a commentary on how technology influences meaning and authorship in contemporary society. This marks Beeple's first exhibition in Germany, showcasing his exploration of digital culture and robotics. Previously, the artist deployed these robo-dogs in San Francisco, where they garnered significant attention on social media.
