24 HOURS OF ART: Tuesday Highlights
Colorful Pebbles
Color takes center stage in the ‘Pebbles’ /1k by Zeblocks x NextGen6529 collection.
Punksladsmemes.eth acquires one of seven Summer.jpg Palette traits for 16.9 WETH from Angol_Vault and places 8.2 WETH offers on many of the thirteen Salsa Blush Palettes.
Two Botto Firsts
UnderTheGAN adds two significant Botto editions to a historic AI collection built by Jediwolf:
Seaport Subject #1/10: 5.25 ETH from Rhynotic
The Alchemist’s Playroom /50 (PROOF): 1.5 ETH from gifted_0x
Seaport Subject is the first ever edition created by Botto, selected by its community during the Genesis Period.
Via the artwork description:
“Botto had barely been trained 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.”
The Alchemist’s Playroom, in collaboration with PROOF, is the first time Botto did not rely on BottoDAO voting to select a minted work.
Via BottoDAO:
“For the first time ever, Botto was asked to curate its own work. This piece results from a test of autonomy, taste, and artistic recognition to measure just how much the AI has learned from its 2+ years of operation.
Tasked with choosing a single work from the millions of its unseen outputs over its 2+ year career, we were both thrilled and flabbergasted at the result: Botto has selected what might be it’s first self-portrait: a creator surrounded by its creations, an alchemist at work.”

Closing Thoughts
A step forward for art after a slow period, with several 1/1/X selections plus the Botto editions leading the highlights.
It’s nice to see 4 of the 8 1/1 works by Socmplxd x Ninfa receive opening bids (in Collections section). Primera by Mitchell and Yun has quietly picked up momentum in 1/1X after dipping below 1 ETH.
