It’s those perspectives that form the backbone of Winkelmann’s work, as the Unitree Go2 robot dogs will “poop” out printed images as they autonomously roam around the hall. These images are captured by integrated cameras and processed by AI, producing printouts that reflect each robodog persona’s perspective.<\/p>\n

Is it crude? Perhaps, but the installation and dark humor have certainly been a conversation starter in and out of the tech sphere.<\/p>\n

In this latest project of viral fame, Beeple poses a question that perhaps more of us should be asking: Should our worldview be governed by tech and the powerful figures who control it?<\/p>\n
It’s an especially pertinent question in the post-AI world we live in, wherein lax regulations, extraordinary market disruption, and a race to the finish all converge, leaving in their wake a mess of questionable ethics<\/a> and environmental impact<\/a>.<\/p>\n It’s also something we briefly discussed in the latest episode of the TechRadar Podcast<\/a>, specifically relating to a recent New Yorker profile on Sam Altman and the backlash that followed, <\/a>where my colleague Hamish Hector noted the growing public consciousness \u2014 and controversy \u2014 around figures like Altman.<\/p>\n “It plays into this bigger realization that these figures at the very top of the AI sphere, like Sam Altman for OpenAI, Elon Musk for Grok, and Mark Zuckerberg for Meta, that maybe we should be interested in what these people are like and how they behave,” he explains.<\/p>\n Watch the latest podcast episode below from 42:56<\/a> to hear our recap on the current discourse around AI ethics, bias and the perspectives of the tech execs leading the conversation.<\/p>\n Apple FINALLY fixes iPhone keyboards, under-16s taken offline and OpenAI faces its next big hurdle – YouTube Watch On <\/a><\/p>\n That message is very much so the stated intention for Winkelmann, who told the Associated Press<\/a>, \u201cIn the past, our view of the world was shaped in part by how artists saw the world. How Picasso painted changed how we saw the world, how Warhol talked about consumerism, pop culture, that changed how he saw those things.\u201d<\/p>\n What to read next<\/p>\n He continues, explaining that in today’s climate, our collective worldview is shaped by billionaires in tech who control the narrative with powerful algorithms.<\/p>\n \u201cThat’s an immense amount of power that I don\u2019t think we\u2019ve fully understood, especially because when they want to make a change, they don\u2019t need to lobby the U.N. They don\u2019t need to get something through Congress or the EU, they just wake up and change these algorithms.\u201d<\/p>\n Beeple’s no stranger to the juncture between tech and art; he’s fronteired movements like artwork-a-day trends with his long-running project Everydays, which has seen him create and publish a new digital artwork daily since 2007. His work also helped launch the art marketplace for NFTs, and even previously gave away the photos taken by his robot dogs to audience members during an earlier appearance at the Art Basel 2025 event, some of which included QR codes that gave access to free NFTs of Beeple’s digital art<\/a>.<\/p>\n Whether or not you agree that the installation is “art” aside, it’s a surprisingly poignant message for a project that consists of pricey robot dogs in uncannily accurate silicon masks pooping out AI slop.<\/p>\n Follow TechRadar on Google News<\/a> and add us as a preferred source<\/a> to get our expert news, reviews, and opinion in your feeds.
