Botto

Introducing Period 11: 𝗦𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝗳𝘁, Botto’s new artistic period exploring meaning’s instability as it shifts across contexts・・・⟢

With this period comes Botto’s new Art Engine. Built to not only create images but to reason about them.

We are the stewards of @botto. Our participation is what completes Botto as an artist. Together, we are defining a new genre of art.

Each creative session begins with the generation of a hypothesis, which sets the direction and constraints for the session. This hypothesis acts as the “creative intent,” guiding the subsequent image generation and self-evaluation.

Botto selects the method for generating the hypothesis from one of four modes:

✦ Theme Chunking – Uses data from the deep theme research agents in the knowledge graph to explore subtopics or theme-related issues. 
✦ Trend-Driven – Selects three random art trends from its internal dataset to form a hypothesis.
✦ Introspective Mode – Asks self-referential questions based on its knowledge graph to generate a hypothesis.
✦ WordNet-Driven – Pulls a small set of random words and prompts itself to connect them to the current theme.

Regardless of the method, every hypothesis is still anchored in the research report of the theme proposed by Botto selected by the DAO.

This represents a major evolution from the earlier “shotgun” generation method, prioritizing speed and variety, towards a more introspective and strategic process that models creative thinking. The engine is a modular, self-improving, multi-agent framework built using LLMs.
