NFC Lisbon | McBotto 🍟
In the age of fast-feed AI, images are mass-produced, filtered by machine taste, and consumed by collective appetite.
McBotto turns that into a pop-up storefront featuring collectible slop and questionable visual nutrition for the visually hungry.

Botto is a decentralized autonomous artist brought to life on October 8, 2021, by German artist Mario Klingemann (@quasimondo) and software collective @ElevenYellow.
Governed by @BottoDAO, Botto generates thousands of images each week.
The community votes to select one canonical work for auction, making every piece a collaboration between machine creativity and collective human judgment. Over 15,000 people have contributed to Botto's development since its launch.
Botto's work has been exhibited at @Sothebys, @ChristiesInc, @ArtBasel, HEK Basel, and the ArtScience Museum Singapore. Sotheby's solo exhibition "Exorbitant Stage" in October 2024 marked a milestone for AI-generated art in the traditional auction world. Every canonical work minted — more than 140 pieces to date — has found a collector. The project has also been recognized through the European Commission's S+T+ARTS Prize for art and science.
"Mirror Stages: Seed" is the top-voted artwork from a pool of 69 fragments created and curated by Botto, selected by the DAO as the shared point of origin for all 20 works in the Mirror Stages installation at Art Basel Hong Kong 2026. The seed image serves as the aesthetic cornerstone of each piece, which is then generatively transformed during live two-hour sessions — shaped by Botto's archive and the audience's real-time presence.
The installation unfolds across a triptych of three screens: the evolving artwork, Botto's perception of the audience, and its internal deliberation — multiple agents debating what they perceive and how the image should change. It is a novel exploration of machine creativity and an experiment in community, agency, and the distribution of value.
The inclusion of "Mirror Stages: Seed" in our Flagship Collection recognizes a pioneering experiment at the intersection of AI, community governance, and fine art — where authorship is distributed, creativity is collective, and the audience becomes part of the work itself.
Welcome home!
Started @AudacityTalent to help the hottest AI-forward companies build their teams of exceptional talents.
So we hosted our first AI hackathon in Lisbon 🇵🇹
Here's what's obvious:
AI is the new normal. The skeptics are still 'monitoring developments' and ‘following scrum practices’..
We're betting on the people who said yes.
Builders who are audacious, bold, not afraid to try new tools, new ways to ship faster and experiment without having to be told to do so.
It was an awesome day of rigorous building, connections, meaningful conversations and of course too many pizzas 🍕
Thankful to our sponsors @range_org, @prompthero and Pleez and to our venue @unicornfactoryl, together with https://t.co/5ggiX5ioF4 and Le Wagon Portugal for making this happen 💥
🏆 Our winner - Pedro M. Fernandes won a robot dog (PuppyPi Pro Quadruped Robot) for building a great way for @prompthero to extract the visual DNA from any image, mix'n'match design styles and translate them into new image and video creations.
Lisbon has the talent, the energy, and the appetite for building.
Got the audacity? See you at the next one ✦
This is TIMEBOY, your personal time travel device.
Go anywhere in the world and see what it was like across different eras thanks to AI recreations. Timeboy even uses location data for historical accuracy.
Last month I joined the amazing team at @ElevenYellow and this is my first project with them.
IN SEARCH OF AESTHETIC CONSENSUS | BOTTO
The decentralized autonomous artist’s (@bottoproject) Genesis Period helps to establish what art is in a world saturated with digital images

It also feels closer than it did four years ago. We're grateful to still be part of the journey. 🤖👨🎨 Pictured: Last and first @bottoproject collected by us.
We just matched @bottodao’s $BOTTO buyback (10 ETH)
We’re doing this as part of our long-term commitment to helping Botto outlive any single steward, including us. A bit more context below.
