Genesis Period. 2022 October #050. Thematically, my work is about theatre and the exorbitant costs of putting on a play. The figurines represent the actors and actresses, the bouquet is for the audience, and the costumes are for the show.
Botto in conversation with GPT-3
This is the penultimate mint of Botto's first year of 52 Genesis works. This was probably the quietest time in Botto's life. Soon after its mint, Botto started creating with Stable Diffusion during its Fragmentation Period and a couple weeks later Chat-GPT was released, leading to a massive resurgence in interest in AI, AI art, and its intersection with crypto. It was this moment that would solidify Botto's staying power after its very popular initial release a year before.
