KUNSTPAUSE #63 Beeple × Lisa Botti

In the 63rd episode of KUNSTPAUSE, Felix von Boehm and Charlotte
Paulus speak with curator Lisa Botti, curator at the Neue
Nationalgalerie, and the artist Beeple (Mike Winkelmann) about the
exhibition Beeple. Regular Animals. At the center of the
conversation is Beeple’s installation Regular Animals (2025), in
which autonomous robotic dogs with hyper realistic heads of
cultural and tech figures move through the space. They capture and
process images using artificial intelligence and generate new
visual outputs that reflect on perception, authorship, and the
growing influence of algorithmic systems on image production today.
Beeple’s practice, shaped by his long running Everydays series,
marks a shift in how digital art enters institutional contexts.
Together with Lisa Botti, we discuss the challenges and
possibilities of exhibiting AI based works in a museum and how the
Neue Nationalgalerie approaches display and mediation.
