Some of the more notable companies Michel has worked with in Tokyo are Google, Tinder, Bottega Veneta, and John Varvatos. In 2014 Michel created an art application that uses computer-vision (image recognition) to identify artworks using your phone’s camera in museums, art fairs and galleries; essentially a “Shazam or Art.” Michel began to explore other disruptive technologies beyond IR/AR such as blockchain and ML. Part of his day-to-day consists of co-operating a 50 person data company which has the largest blockchain database in the world. Michel has worked as an advisory consultant for dozens of blockchain companies providing guidance regarding product development, growth & marketing, and technology implementation. Michel also runs a small B2B marketing and social media agency where each team member has over 20 years of experience in digital advertising & business growth. The rest of his time is focused on exercising his passion for art, hoping to bring “the human side of art” by way of another (stealthy) art+tech project he’s heading.
