San Francisco residents have been spotting robot dogs made to look like celebrities such as Elon Musk. These unique robots are currently on display at an art exhibition in Palo Alto.
Beeple, the artist Michael Joseph Winkelmann, has created a new art installation called “Regular Animals.” This unique piece combines artificial intelligence and robotics and has been showcased in cities around the globe, including Basel and Berlin.
To promote the ‘INFINITE_LOOP.’ event, digital arts center NODE sent robotic dogs around San Francisco. The event, held in Palo Alto, showcases a collection of work from artist Beeple, representing a look at his career so far.
Dog robots bear the likenesses of Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos and Pablo Picasso
“Regular Animals” showcases a series of robotic dogs, all built with four legs and the face of a well-known celebrity. These robots walk around, greet people, and even take pictures, ‘depositing’ the images as if they were waste products – a playful nod to the celebrity head they carry.
The Pablo Picasso dog creates photos that look like his famous portraits, and the Mark Zuckerberg dog’s photos are inspired by the Metaverse.

You know, it’s funny, I was thinking about how artists used to really define how we saw the world – guys like Picasso and Warhol. But lately, it feels like tech billionaires are the ones doing that now. I mean, think about it – Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk basically control what shows up in our feeds, what we see and don’t see. Those algorithms are seriously powerful, and they’re shaping our worldview more and more.
In an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle, NODE explained that putting Elon Musk’s image on the streets is intended to inject excitement into public spaces. They added that the public’s response mirrors the effect of Beeple’s art – it immediately grabs attention and sparks conversation.
