    “In the past, our view of the world was shaped in part by how artists saw the world,” Beeple, the artist who created them, told the AP. "Now our view of the world is shaped by tech billionaires who own powerful algorithms that decide what we see and what we don't see."

    The Zuckerberg one is no good - looks much more human than the original.

      @xs4me2 Definitely the most striking thing I've seen in a long time.

      I guess we can agree to disagree regarding the artists. Their inclusion is meant to be ironic rather than disturbing, even though that is hard to dissociate from their appearance.

      The faces and their realism make or break this presentation indeed.

      Quite shocking…

              An art exhibition about automated "Capitalist Running Dogs".

              Very original.

                @mattsheffield nitpick: Those aren't Boston Dynamics robots. It's hard to tell given the paint job but they look like UniTree to me?

                  @mattsheffield Beeple is a grifting hack who was ground zero for the NFT con. He made millions selling auto-generated monkey JPEGs. Screw this guy.

                        Also, "look I put a famous person's head on a robot" is the same exact picture he's been drawing for a decade. He was lapped by skibidi toilet years ago. Get a new idea.

                          @jwz He is giving away the NFTs for this exhibit though, it is worth pointing out.

                          But there is a lot of irony in saying capitalism is terrible as you rake in millions of dollars selling art to oligarchs.

                            @mattsheffield I see he's using his real name, after "Beeple" became most associated with "scam artist, Beeple" thanks to his #NFT grift.

                              Giving away NFTs when the market has tanked = quasi-brilliant scheme to stay relevant & try to juice that market again. Would add to his financial grift/gain. It's art in a way if people want to call it that & some museums want to exhibit it, but it's art to sell to billionaires with no taste that is exhibited to plebes like you & me who'd never buy it if we could.

                              Protest art? Nah. Beeples or whatever he calls himself is a grifter, not an Ai Weiwei https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2018/feb/15/ai-weiwei-remembering-sichuan-earthquake

                                @mattsheffield I wonder if someone starts kicken them.
                                They really should be kicked as part of the art.

                                  Giving away NFTs when the market has tanked = quasi-brilliant scheme to stay relevant & try to juice that market again. Would add to his financial grift/gain. It's art in a way if people want to call it that & some museums want to exhibit it, but it's art to sell to billionaires with no taste that is exhibited to plebes like you & me who'd never buy it if we could.

                                  Protest art? Nah. Beeples or whatever he calls himself is a grifter, not an Ai Weiwei https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2018/feb/15/ai-weiwei-remembering-sichuan-earthquake

                                  It's shock art like junk by Damien Hirst. Not even as good as stuff by Jeff Koons that at least sometimes was humorous. At least bananas taped to a wall have nutritional value. An exhibit of walking dog robots with billionaires' heads popped on isn't much to think about. Maybe put those heads on Ghost Robotics Vision 60 dogs that fire randomly and drop them on Epstein Island and you've got an updated "Survivor" show — but that just gives us trump 😐. 🤢

                                    Ha! There are actually plans to recycle old trump TV and update to old trump TV v2.0. I'm prescient. I might have to reach out to Ghost Robotics and make crappy, dystopian art myself. Could give the NFTs away, inflate the value to collateralize and borrow against and for tax deduction purposes, overextend myself and file for bankruptcy. Definite trump vibes there. Give the billionaires what they want.

                                      Also derivative of Sun Yuan & Peng Yu who did the same concept better in 2007 with their "Old People's Home"
