A pack of robot dogs with the faces of tech billionaires and art legends is heading to Berlin. Beeple’s installation Regular Animals (2025) will take over the foyer of Neue Nationalgalerie from 29th April to 10th May 2026, opening during Gallery Weekend Berlin.
First unveiled at Art Basel Miami Beach 2025, the work quickly went viral. The semi-autonomous robots roam inside a fenced enclosure, each fitted with hyper-realistic silicone heads of figures including Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso, and Beeple himself.
As the dogs wander the space they photograph visitors using onboard cameras. The images are processed through AI filters styled after the figure each dog represents—Picasso images emerge fractured into cubist forms, while Musk’s arrive in stark technical diagrams. The robots then print the images and eject them from their rear ends for visitors to take home.
The deliberately absurd mechanism turns surveillance and algorithmic image-making into spectacle—transforming observation, data processing and content production into a literal loop.
For Lisa Botti, curator at Neue Nationalgalerie, the installation reflects a wider challenge for museums.

“Technology is currently one of the most powerful forces shaping our lives, our economies, our politics, and even our sense of identity and reality,”
she said.
“Cultural institutions cannot remain outside of that conversation.”
In Berlin, Beeple’s robotic pack will be shown alongside Nam June Paik’s Andy Warhol Robot (1994), placing the AI-driven installation in dialogue with one of the earliest works of media art.
Running for just 11 days, the presentation marks Beeple’s first exhibition in Germany and is expected to draw large crowds during Gallery Weekend Berlin.
