Beeple’s “Regular Animals” Turns AI Art Into a Bizarre Spectacle
-

Digital artist Mike Winkelmann (Beeple) is pushing boundaries again with his latest installation, Regular Animals, now on display at Neue Nationalgalerie. The exhibit features robot dogs with eerily realistic faces of figures like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg.These machines don’t just sit still—they roam the gallery, scan visitors, and generate AI artwork based on what they see. Then comes the twist: they print the images from their rear ends for visitors to take home. It’s absurd, funny, and intentionally uncomfortable.
Behind the humor is a deeper commentary on how AI, tech elites, and algorithms now shape culture. Beeple transforms the digital feedback loop—where users generate data and platforms feed content back—into a physical, slightly disturbing experience.
