Overview
- Debuting in Art Basel Miami Beach’s new Zero 10 section, the roaming robots capture images and eject printed certificates, some bearing QR codes to claim NFTs.
- All full‑size works were reported sold during the VIP preview at about $100,000 each in editions of two plus one artist’s proof, with the Jeff Bezos variant not offered for sale.
- Each robot photographs its surroundings and outputs images in styles linked to its mask, which include Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol and Beeple.
- Beeple said the sculptures’ recording and blockchain storage functions will end after three years, leaving only basic motion to underscore planned technological obsolescence.
- The hyper‑realistic masks were made by Landon Meier, and the installation is producing 1,028 stamped “Excrement Sample” prints, 256 of which are labeled as claimable NFTs, drawing large crowds and mixed reactions.
