PayPlay

A window to the world of works by Timon Botez, BotezCo and Collaborators. The blend of commercial and non-commercial projects can be filtered through the pay/play. The commercial work has primarily been for museums and public environments. The concepts are experience-oriented; they engage, educate and entertain the visitor. In the mix you'll also find the odd identity, web-site and interface job. We do them too, with pleasure. The non-commercial work is generally based on observations from the real world. Simple things, like how paint changes shade when it dries. This pseudo-scientific art-research attempts to answer questions by processing and analyzing such observations. The projects offer an opportunity to pursue ideas and thoughts that are not always suitable for the commercial sector.
