Protey Temen

Berlin-based multidisciplinary artist.

Protey Temen’s practice is centered around using drawings, videos, books, and installations to create abstract visuals that explore and visualize the intersections between science and visual data. By utilizing the poetry of everyday life processes, he can create a deeper understanding and connection to the world around us. He sees science as a universal language, expressed through the synthetic methods of written text, calculations, and drawing. The goal of his practice is to bridge the gap between science and everyday life, encouraging viewers to question their understanding of the world and their place in it.
