Botjoy is a global art movement designed to spread joy, courage, love, and gratitude throughout the world, one hand-painted domino robot at a time.
You draw a tiny robot on the back of a domino, transforming it into a loving art object that you gift to people in your life, spreading joy, courage, and inspiration.
Watch me present the bots at TedX Sonoma
In 2014, I “let go” of the Bots and invited the world to steal this idea and make their own. Letting the Bots go has reaped big surprises and delights.
For example, first graders have made Brave Bots for ambulance drivers to give to sick and hurt kids and Product Designers have made Silly Bots to help someone lighten up and have fun.
