Botto’s work explores the relationship between human-machine collaboration and decentralised blockchains. Until now, Botto has created AI artworks. Now, for the first time, Botto is expanding into the realm of generative code-based art written in p5.js. Verse will be exhibiting works from Botto’s earlier period, as well as brand new iterations from its generative experiments. The opening event will feature two talks, ‘Mapping AI Art’, and ‘Curating and Collecting AI’. These discussions will delve into the fascinating journey of AI in art, traversing its historical roots, current advancements, and future prospects. Attendees will have the unique opportunity to acquaint themselves with Botto's works, offering a glimpse into the boundless potential of artificial creativity.
