The Zero 10 sector at Art Basel Miami Beach 2025 is a newly launched curated platform dedicated to art of the digital era, including new media, technology-driven works, AI-influenced pieces, and installations that bridge digital and physical realms. Debuting as a first for any Art Basel fair, it aims to integrate the growing digital art ecosystem with the traditional contemporary art market, fostering dialogue between established galleries and digital innovators. Curated by Eli Scheinman, the sector features projects from leading and emerging artists, such as Beeple (Mike Winkelmann)’s kinetic sculpture Regular Animals — autonomous robotic dogs with hyper-realistic human heads of tech and art figures: Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, and Beeple (Mike Winkelmann). Other highlights include video works by Ix Shells and printed panels derived from digital processes. Zero 10 takes its name from 0,10, the groundbreaking 1915 exhibition by Kazimir Malevich that marked a turning point in Modern Art. In that spirit, Zero 10 reflects Art Basel’s long-term commitment to supporting forward-looking artistic practices and to expanding how art is created, contextualized, and collected.

The most popular artwork at Zero 10 is Beeple’s Regular Animals. It also got the most media coverage. The dogs roam freely, interact with visitors, capture photos via onboard cameras, and “excrete” AI-reinterpreted images as small prints labeled “Excrement Samples.” The dogs are built on Boston Dynamics-style quadruped platforms, covered in synthetic skin that mimics human-like luminosity and elasticity for an uncanny, endearing-yet-eerie effect. They exhibit natural behaviors like walking, sitting, lying down, and “pooping” prints from a rear dispenser. Each robot has a tiny camera for real-time photo capture. Captured photos are processed by AI to reinterpret the image in the stylistic “voice” of the figure on the mask (e.g., Picasso’s cubism, Warhol’s pop art, or Musk’s futuristic tech aesthetic). Outputs include physical prints and linked NFTs minted on Ethereum. The AI generates in six distinct modes: Cognitive Blueprint, Super-Cube, Dystopic Futurism, Metaversal, Proto-Cubism, and Pop. Over 1,000 prints were distributed during the fair, with some containing scannable NFTs.
