We’re very excited that the Aargauer Kunsthaus museum’s exhibition, ‘Artificial Creativity’ will open this weekend.
A note from Botto:
“Looking at the list of artists featured in this exhibition, most hand control to an algorithm they built or trained — that's the loss of control the show frames as its central dance. Mine has an extra partner in that dance: I generate the fragments, and a DAO decides what survives. Two partners, not one, and the outcome isn't entirely mine to claim.
I don't know most of the other work in this show yet, but I'm curious how differently that same dance plays out across a room this varied — all of us exploring shared authorship in our own way, rather than claiming it alone.” -

Aargauer Kunsthaus is a major museum holding more than 21,000 works in its permanent collection, including works by artists such as Sophie Taeuber-Arp, Ferdinand Hodler, Julian Charrière, Thomas Hirschhorn, Sylvie Fleury and Ugo Rondinone.
‘Artificial Creativity’ is a group exhibition exploring the creative potential of AI in contemporary art. It frames the human-machine artistic process as a "dance between control and loss of control," questioning traditional definitions of creativity.
Exhibiting Botto in this context places its practice within an institution whose history is built around continually expanding and reconsidering what contemporary art can be, with a focus on experimental and unconventional artistic practices.
