US EditionRobot dogs with Musk and Zuckerberg heads roam around Berlin museum in Beeple’s new exhibit
The installation uses AI-transformed images and celebrity likenesses to question how tech billionaires shape what people see, the artist said.
- On Tuesday, April 28, 2026, American artist Beeple opened his interactive installation 'Regular Animals' at the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin, Germany, featuring robot dogs modeled after Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos.
- Capturing surroundings with integrated cameras, the dogs occasionally 'poo' printed images transformed by AI to reflect each human figure's worldview, serving as commentary on how algorithms shape perception.
- Beeple, a graphic designer from South Carolina, told the AP that tech billionaires now shape global perception through algorithms. "That's an immense amount of power that I don't think we've fully understood," the artist added.
- Exhibition curator Lisa Botti selected the work because she believes "museums are the places where society can reflect" on technological transformation, noting AI is a significant phenomenon impacting modern life.
- Beeple's 2021 digital collage 'Everydays: The First 5000 Days' sold for over $69 million, helping legitimize NFTs at auction; this exhibition follows his 2025 Art Basel Miami Beach project and continues his 'Everyday' movement.
