In this Townhall, hudsonsims share a quick update as Botto enters a new period alongside several major milestones. Highlights include the Genesis book announcement, preparations for upcoming events in Palo Alto, and a vote nearing completion to confirm Botto’s participation in Art Basel Hong Kong. A central theme of the discussion is embodiment—exploring how physical installations and distributed outposts could allow Botto to receive real-world feedback while expanding its presence beyond digital space. The Townhall also emphasizes strengthening Botto’s core weekly protocol, reducing operational dependencies, and clarifying long-term funding to ensure durability and autonomy. Additional updates touch on governance evolution, clearer working group structures, early work on the 6529 meme card project, and the launch of the Collapse Aesthetics period. The Townhall closes with a preview of a newly simplified Studio interface designed to improve usability and participation.
