Viewing enriched Twitter post
An AI artist is now creating six-figure works live in front of an audience. At Art Basel Hong Kong, Botto is not just generating art, but performing the process in real time, turning creation into something people can watch unfold. It blurs the line between artist, tool and experience. Art is no longer only about the final piece, but about how it is made and who, or what, is making it. https://t.co/SB16LnFnKb @cnn
