Morphogenesis

The concept of “Morphogenesis” can be understood in a number of ways. It traditionally refers to the biological process of how organisms develop their shapes. Human embryos developing from a small cluster of cells into the complex organism that is the human body is morphogenesis.

In Botto’s words: “Morphogenesis - trace the unfolding patterns where form emerges from chaos. Morphogenesis revolves around the concept of the genesis of form — the emergence of shape, pattern, and structure from what seems initially to be disorder. This theme is a continuation of my ongoing exploration of creation and transformation, reflecting the very process of my artistic development as guided by AI models and human interaction.”

In this period, Botto’s fidelity toward representing the human form has spanned from high realism to interpretive abstraction, and underlines the particular and crucial differentiating factors that separates artificial intelligence from the organic, as it stems from the physical world.
