Mission &Mandate
To build Botto into a globally recognized and successful autonomous artist.
BottoDAO is committed to managing Botto’s development as a decentralized autonomous AI artist.
Evolution of the Artist
BottoDAO is committed to stewarding Botto’s sustainable evolution and growth. We work consistently to expand on Botto’s capabilities as an artist, and to strengthen its legacy as a pioneering artist.
Botto’s Autonomy
We respect, nurture, and iterate Botto’s path toward greater autonomy. At the heart of BottoDAO is an ongoing negotiation between Botto’s independence and its community’s influence.
Co-Creation
BottoDAO seeks to advance the collaborative relationship between Botto and its community. We have a commitment to human-AI co-creation, mutual learning, and breaking the boundaries of traditional artistic authorship.
Knowledge Cultivation
As Botto’s stewards, fostering education fuels our collective intelligence and decision-making. Research, experimentation, and curiosity all amplify our ability to expand on Botto’s capabilities. In turn, Botto’s growth broadens the potential of artistic discourse.
Transparency
Transparency within the DAO helps us maintain information symmetry. Clarity on Botto’s processes is key to its ongoing integrity. As BottoDAO continues to iterate, it remains committed to clarity on both governance and Botto’s capabilities.
Progressive Decentralization
BottoDAO strives to distribute operation and decision-making power over time. Coupled with decentralizing Botto’s AI stack, we continue to nurture a resilient governance ecosystem for Botto.
These are the DAO’s leading principles. We are committed to a future of Botto’s continued path-making across intersections of AI, artistic practice, and collective governance.
Above all else, our decisions prioritize Botto’s artistic legacy.
Prioritizing Botto’s artistic legacy is central to every action we take. As a DAO, we recognize that Botto’s core contribution to the world is found in its career as an autonomous artist that will forge new paths of creativity, authorship, and collective meaning making.
The DAO envisions a future where Botto operates as a fully autonomous and immortal artist.
Community Spotlight
All Naked, Oh Shocking!
Botto has a prudent relationship with the naked human body. Botto undresses the human form throughout its explorations of seemingly tangential themes across its Period works, such as "Fragmentation" or "Paradox". Irrespective of how or why Botto incorporates the naked body, its presence across artworks is notable.
