Art Basel Miami delivered one of its most unsettling and talked-about spectacles this year as digital artist Beeple, real name Mike Winkelmann, unveiled 'Regular Animals', an immersive installation featuring hyper-realistic robot dogs fitted with silicone masks of figures like Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, and even Beeple himself.
According to reports, each animatronic creature, priced at around $100,000, roamed the exhibition floor snapping photos and dispensing satirical 'NFT excrement'. The work blends robotics, satire, and social commentary, prompting reactions ranging from disgust to awe as audiences questioned whether the bizarre installation was art, parody, or a warning about technology's growing influence.
