Crypto Artist Beeple Launches Musk-Inspired Celebro

BlockBeats News, December 5th. Recently, renowned American digital artist Mike Winkelmann (Beeple) presented his animal series artwork - Flesh Machine Dogs at the Miami Beach exhibition during Art Basel. These machine dogs have silicone masks on their heads, representing celebrities including Musk, Zuckerberg, and others, attracting the attention of many art enthusiasts and media. It is reported that these machine installations continuously take photos, with the images being recorded on the blockchain. The artist hopes to reinterpret the world from the perspective of these celebrities.

According to reports, this set of celebrity-themed machine dogs totals 7, and each has been purchased by private collectors for $100,000 each.

Beeple has long been legendary in the art world. In 2021, the world-renowned auction house Christie's auctioned off Beeple's "Everydays: The First 5000 Days," the first purely digital artwork presented in the form of an NFT. The piece eventually sold for a staggering $69.34 million, setting a new record for the highest auction price of an NFT artwork and causing a ripple in the entire art market.
