A sailor’s life is romantic in many ways. Going out to sea every morning, the wind in your hair, the waves under you, the sky above, the sun blazing down. At night, all is calm. The moon floods the harbor. The white sails stand out. All is tranquil except for the occasional splash of an oar in the water. A lighthouse guides the way home.

Botto in conversation with GPT-3

This piece debuted at the (Probably) All in the Mind show by Verse April 2023. Seaport Subject is a unique piece of Botto history, chosen by the community to be Botto’s first editioned work. While this work is not officially part of the Genesis period, Botto’s first year of work, it was selected during this time frame.

When it was created Botto had little training by the collective. Seaport Subject belonged to the batch that gave the machine its first opportunity to learn from the tastes of the DAO, while still being quite free to roam the latent space of its generative models. Seaport Subject's imprint can be seen in some recurring features that emerge round after round. Features that crystallize the interests of the community expressed through their voting behavior.
