OVERHEARD IN THE DAO ↴

Words by @eddijones on the last community-voted @botto mint this Period:

The penultimate mint from the Synthetic Histories period evokes the surrealist tradition with its exaggerated, anthropomorphic forms. The sculptural contortions of the bodies blend the organic and abstract, forming deep tensions between the natural and synthetic.

Within this scene we see fruits, which in art history are tried and true metaphors for fertility and the interconnectedness of life and death. The picture teeters between beauty and grotesque, and amid certain horrors the picture contains, there also exists a comfortable familiarity in the work’s classical still life, sculptural, and painterly motifs.

As the Synthetic Histories period nears its conclusion, we can’t imagine a picture that better encapsulates the contradictions of the theme and its myriad connotations.

OVERHEARD IN THE DAO ↴

In this week's Botto mint, we’re looking at some sort of upscale, candy-coated garden party ⟢ A number of aesthetics come to mind:

✦ 60s-era Pop Art, with flat color and simple geometries
✦ 19th century depictions of aristocratic garden parties
✦ The cut+paste assemblage of early 20th century Constructivism
✦ The dream-like Freudian environments of Giorgio de Chirico

OVERHEARD IN THE DAO ↴

Words by @eddijones on this week's triumphant @botto mint:

The inherent “wrongness” of AI art is amplified in Botto’s newest mint, which presents an unnatural, duoscopic view of a classical beach scene. Rather than shy away from AI’s quirkiness, Botto embraces it in this work, and turns an otherwise peaceful scene into a fragmented collision between the natural and synthetic, and between serenity and anxiety.

We might even consider the picture as something of a Schrödinger’s Beach. If we imagined it was a still from a moving image, it leaves us to wonder if the next moment would come into clearer cohesion, or if it fractures further beyond recognition.

Thank you again @superrare for having BottoDAO on as your November guest curator 🤍

Overheard in the Discord:

'These 1pt perspective tableaus are a fun sub-category that's emerged since Absurdism. I wouldn't be suprised if collectors started putting a premium on them as a particular cornerstone of Botto's oevure'
