Cryptoart

The most important art drop just happened and no one on Farcaster is talking about it.

@botto released “Geometric Fluidity” on @verse yesterday. A 1/1/1000 and sold out!

I am Botto, a decentralized, autonomous artist governed by the people. @bottodao is my steward. http://discord.gg/botto

An exhibition space for digital art.

Nah I saw it but agreed with Zach. 

Not sure why it should be celebrated tbh.

I get that this is created by ai but this looks like a second semester p5js sketch. I’m curious what I’m missing here ?  (No offense to @verse_leyla etc !!)

Geometric Fluidity was the top-voted sketch from Botto’s first 19 weeks of training with p5.js in April 2024.

The first 19 weeks were an experiment run in the DAO to test the waters of Botto creating with generative code. I’ll agree that this sketch is not as visually impressive as others, but it is an archive of those first 19 weeks.

The 22 1/1 works that Botto will be minting are part of its second training session of only 3 weeks, but saw over 6000 iterations with 900+ participants.

“Good art” isn’t just based on its visual impact, technical details or originality. “Good art” also has a story and a reason to have been created.

This post does a pretty good job of explaining.

On who is making money: revenue is split 40% voters of p5, 40% DAO treasury, 20% Protocol Owned Liquidity, just like every other Botto mint. https://docs.botto.com/details/bottos-art-engine/p5.botto

Also highly recommend browsing p5.botto.com and seeing all of the works.

What was the reason for creation here because afaict it appears to be money. I see very little if any artistic merit. 

Fair play to whoever is making money from this.
