A robot bearing the face of the Facebook CEO is eagerly sought after every time it activates its… “bathroom mode”.

At this year’s prestigious Art Basel Miami Beach art fair, art enthusiasts’ attention wasn’t focused on traditional oil paintings, but rather on a scene that was both humorous and unsettling: a pack of clumsy robot dogs with silicone faces that looked exactly like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg.

This is the latest installation titled “Regular Animals” by Beeple (Mike Winkelmann) – a world-renowned digital artist. Within a carefully fenced-off area, these four-legged machines wander aimlessly, using cameras to scan their surroundings.

The most controversial aspect lies in their operating mechanism. Occasionally, these robots will switch to “poop mode.” They will awkwardly curl up and “excrete” from behind the small works of art.

Each robot produces unique prints styled after the “boss” it represents. The robot with Andy Warhol’s face will “poop” out pop art, while the Picasso version creates cubist images. Notably, these prints contain QR codes that link directly to NFT (Non-Fungible Token) assets.

Beeple stated that the robot’s deliberate clumsiness in movement was intended to create a terrifying contrast with the powerful faces depicted. The project serves as a stark warning that human perception of reality is being manipulated by algorithms, social media platforms, and tech moguls, rather than being shaped by genuine journalism or art.

The act of “excreting” art is meant to satirize the speed of production, consumption, and disposal of digital content in the modern era.

Although some critics have called it “cultural decadence” and criticized the film for using technology to mask its poor ideas, the appeal of Regular Animals is undeniable. Most copies sold out during the VIP preview screening.

However, an ironic paradox occurred at the exhibition: when the robot dog with Mark Zuckerberg’s face prepared to “create,” the surrounding crowd cheered almost hysterically. But instead of looking directly with their own eyes, Art News noted that the vast majority of people were engrossed in watching and filming these creatures through their phone screens – the most vivid proof of the very message Beeple wanted to convey.
