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
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.
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.
