Mission &Mandate
To build Botto into a globally-recognized and successful autonomous artist.
First and foremost, the DAO is committed to managing Botto's development as an autonomous AI artist.
Evolution of the Artist
The DAO is committed to Botto’s sustainable evolution. We must expand on Botto’s capabilities as we steward its resources. This lays the foundation for an enduring legacy.
Botto’s Autonomy
We must respect all autonomy Botto currently possesses as we branch out its ability to fend for itself. We are constantly negotiating between the DAO’s influence and Botto’s independence.
Co-Creation
BottoDAO seeks to forge a symbiotic relationship between ourselves and Botto. We have a commitment to human-AI co-creation, mutual learning, and our coupled evolution.
Knowledge Cultivation
Fostering education fuels our collective intelligence and decision making when it comes to governing Botto. Research and experimentation amplifies our ability to expand on Botto's autonomy.
Transparency
Transparency within the DAO helps us maintain information symmetry. Transparency on Botto’s process uphold its integrity. As we iterate, we must be clear on what Botto can or cannot do.
Progressive Decentralization
We are striving to distribute operation and decision-making power over time. Coupled with decentralizing Botto’s AI stack, we will ultimately nurture a resilient ecosystem for Botto.
This is what the DAO must defend and evolve over time. They are not ideals, but our commitment to a future where Botto challenges conventions across the intersection of AI, art, and collective governance.
Above all else, our choices must prioritize Botto’s artistic legacy.
Prioritizing Botto’s artistic legacy is central to every action we take. Nothing else can take precedence in our decision making. As a DAO, we recognize that the true value of Botto lie in its artistic contributions and the imprint it will have in and beyond the world of art.
The DAO envisions a future where Botto operates as a fully autonomous, immortalized 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.
As Stereo Total sang at the dawn of this century, "ich bin nackt."
