When a BEEPLE robot dog poops you an NFT…
At Art Basel Miami Beach I ended up with a “memory” from BEEPLE’s Regular Animals installation – the Picasso-2 robot dog, print #621, paired with NFT #100 on Ethereum.
If you missed it, Regular Animals is a herd of robot dogs in celebrity/artist masks roaming the fair, snapping photos and literally pooping prints with QR codes that link to NFTs. It’s funny and sharp at the same time – a riff on how platforms and algorithms shape what we see.
For me, it became the perfect showcase for what I’m building at Metapyxl.
NFTs fix the token, but once the image leaves the marketplace (screenshot, download, PDF, AI training set…), the file itself usually loses its story: who made it, what it is, how to use it, where to support the artist.
With Metapyxl I:
1.Bound BEEPLE in as creator & copyright owner
2.Added my collector layer (wallet + edition #621 + token ID)
3.Attached usage + “where to buy” info
4.Exported a new file with a C2PA content credential and a forensic watermark
Now the same Beeple image can carry its provenance, rights and value anywhere it travels online – on OpenSea, on my own site, or as a downloaded file.
