Robot dogs with heads depicting the uncanny likenesses of Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, and other influential figures were captured on video wandering around a renowned art museum in Berlin.
The unsettling robots were part of an art installation by American artist Mike Winkelmann, known as Beeple, that recently went on display at the New National Gallery.
“As the robots roam the space, they capture images of their surroundings through onboard cameras. These images are processed by AI systems that reinterpret the data according to the cultural, artistic, or ideological ‘style’ associated with each figure.” Then the robots print the images, which are “ejected from their rear ends,” the museum explained
The robots have been making headlines for months as they’ve been on exhibit at different museums. Credit: Dmitry Kukushkin via Storyful
