An Artist Talk with Beeple
From the Internet to Museum Walls: An Artist Talk with Beeple
In conversation with Lisa Botti
12:30 pm
Through a combination of 3D modelling, AI, animation, and satire, Beeple—born Mike Winkelmann—reflects on contemporary culture, technology, politics, and consumerism. The artist has gained international recognition for bringing digital art into the traditional art world and art market, notably with the record-breaking sale of his NFT Everydays: The First 5000 Days at Christie’s in 2021 for $69 million. In this conversation, Beeple joins curator Lisa Botti to bring artistic practice together with art historical reflection in an exploration of NFTs, AI, and social media as well as questions of ownership, attention, value, and creativity in a rapidly changing visual culture.
Beeple (b. Mike Winkelmann, 1981, Wisconsin) is an US-American artist known for his large-scale immersive installations and his long-running project Everydays, through which he has created and published a new digital artwork every day since 2007. His practice explores the intersection of art, media, and new technologies, challenging traditional boundaries of authorship and exhibition. With Regular Animals, Beeple extends his long-standing engagement with technology, culture, and satire—this time in a physical–digital hybrid installation.
Lisa Botti has been a curator at the Neue Nationalgalerie since 2024, after previously serving as an assistant curator to director Klaus Biesenbach. Before joining the Neue Nationalgalerie, Botti worked internationally, including at the Biennale of Sydney (2019–2021) and at Chan + Hori Contemporary in Singapore (2017–2019). At Neue Nationalgalerie, she has co-curated major exhibitions such as “Isa Genzken. 75/75” (2023), “Andy Warhol. Velvet Rage and Beauty” (2024), and an upcoming exhibition by Maurizio Cattealan in autumn 2026. She has also contributed to the museum’s performance programming, including the annual PERFORM! festival during Berlin Art Week.
