These "Regular Animals" are just plain WEIRD!!
2Saw this article on a few sites and made the mistake of watching the video. It left me saying to myself “what the heck was that sh*t”?? Thought you folks might enjoy it too!
Here’s a clip of this “art exhibit” and some snippets I copied from some articles:
On December 3, 2025 the largest contemporary art fair in the United States, Art Basel Miami Beach (ABMB), opened its doors with, for its 23rd edition, 283 galleries. Against all expectations – after several participants had pulled out in the preceding months – opening day was euphoric, and the aisles were packed.
This year, the major innovation at the fair lies in a small section called Zero 10, masterfully curated by a digital-art specialist, Eli Scheinman, which showcases the sheer diversity of work being produced in this field. The headline piece is by Beeple, alias Mike Winkelmann (born 1981), known for having sold, at Christie’s in 2021, a work in NFT form for the record price of 69.3 million dollars. The artist, who has since evolved in remarkable fashion, has this time devised a series of robot dogs with hyper-realistic human heads. The exibit is titled “Regular Animals”. Highly provocative, they respectively portray Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, Beeple himself, but also Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg.
These animated creatures romp around in a small park without colliding, and periodically eject from their rear ends photographs showing the spectators who are looking at them. “In the future, sculptures will inevitably come to be living objects,” Beeple argues. But why mix artists and tech billionaires here? “Because in both cases we look at the world through their lens.” By the opening of the fair, nine of the ten human-headed dogs had already been sold, at $100,000 dollars each.

Because everyone enjoys nightmare fuel!
I’m still hung up on somebody bought a NFT for 69.3 million dollars.
@therealjrn And that’s why so many of the people who need them cannot get essential things. Far too much wealth has been gathered up into the possession of people who only use it to increase their wealth even more.
