The boundaries between human creativity and artificial intelligence dissolve through an unconventional permissionless collaboration between Jessica Cardelucci and Botto, a decentralized autonomous AI artist. These photographs capture Botto's earliest generative sketches, pure algorithmic expressions created with minimal human intervention, as they interact with the natural world.
Projecting these algorithmic works onto flesh and organic forms, the artificial merges with the physical, transforming the AI's digital output into something tangible and intimate. Light and code refract across skin and petal, blurring the boundary between artificial and organic, machine-made and living.
This collaboration prompts us to reflect on humanity's deepening entanglement with artificial intelligence and how it has become an inseparable dimension of our lived experience. These photographs preserve archived fragments of Botto's creative process, serving as artifacts from the evolving frontier where algorithmic artistry and human perception converge.
