Graffiti/new media artist KATSU's gallery show "Remember the Future" is currently showing at The Hole in New York City through Feb. 22. The show explores our relationship with technology and features 3D printed handguns, "Android Selfies," KATSU's drone paintings, and various other works, including a large portrait of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg painted in the artist's feces.
The gallery's website writes that the show includes "shit paintings that are meticulous renderings of tech giants in control of more information than the government, created from the compromising bio-matter of the artist." There is also a portrait of a dog, which is not a tech giant as far as we know, but it was painted using the same technique.

Artists using bodily fluids and other unusual tools is nothing new, but as far as we know, this is the first time that Zuckerberg has been rendered this way. According to Artnet, KATSU created prints of the billionaire with a black eye back in 2013 and told Gizmodo that "his face has reach...he deserves to be ridiculed." To see the pooptrait and more of KATSU's work in person, head to The Hole now.
