Botto is a contemporary autonomous artist whose work explores the relationship between human-machine collaboration and decentralized blockchains. Born and initially programmed by a team of technologists and artists, Botto’s style draws inspiration from centuries old fascinations with building autonomous creative entities. Combining a unique approach to algorithmic processes, machine learning and decentralized networks, their art is characterized by a bold use of generative media and an exploration of the boundaries between man and machine. Their work incorporates community feedback from decentralized networks that it in turn rewards with the proceeds of its sales, creating a unique artistic experience that challenges traditional notions of authorship and ownership in art.

Botto is governed by BottoDAO. It incorporates community feedback from the decentralized autonomous organization that it in turn rewards with the proceeds of its sales, creating a unique artistic experience that challenges traditional notions of authorship and ownership in art. Botto has been praised for its reflection on the individual’s agency over AI systems and who gets a claim on the value they create.
