Generative art brings a whole new dimension to creative expression. AI is capable of producing pieces that break human boundaries and scouts unexplored routes. And Web3 is providing the infrastructure to coordinate human participation in the creative processes, and help people own the outcome.
Tender is a curatorial platform and community that helps bring incredible works of generative art to discerning collectors. Tender amplifies the value of generative art by empowering artists and collectors with a curatorial platform, indispensable tools, unique content, and the groundbreaking TENDER x Collab series. It’s a community that shares with Botto the vision to explore the new realms of generative art in all its forms.
“AI is a form of generative art that continues to grow inside our Tender community as collectors, creators, and curators. Partnering with Botto to combine those interests within their innovative voting and auctioning model is a perfect way to strengthen and extend our collective interests in AI art with fun, hands-on participation.” — Adam B., Founder of Tender.
Today we welcome Tender community members through the launch of our third Community Access Pass. Tender community members can now request their Access Passes live from Botto’s website.
Deadline to register for the airdrop is Dec 12th.
For those joining us from Tender for the first time, here’s a recap of how Botto works:
Botto’s artistic capabilities are based on a custom art engine, a proprietary blend of algorithmic models that have synthesized millions of images.
Every week, Botto’s art engine delivers 350 new sketches, called fragments, for Bottonians’ consideration. By the end of a 7 day period, the most popular one is minted as a canonical Botto artwork, which is then auctioned on SuperRare.
Proceeds from the auction go back to the DAO treasury to pay for Botto’s servers and the voting labor of the community. The voting behavior data is fed back to the art engine so that Botto can continue to evolve its style according to the tastes of its stewards, and the process cycles again for another round.
