Olof Mathé
Work
I founded and built Mixmax, where I was CEO. Before that, I built products at Inkling and Skype / Microsoft and cut my teeth with Fortune 500s at McKinsey. My earliest ventures were a local classifieds site and a voice-based shopping app. I studied engineering physics at KTH and École polytechnique, and philosophy of science at École normale supérieure.
Initiatives
I founded Art Hack Day, a computer-art event exploring the expressive potential of new technology, held in cities like New York, San Francisco, Paris, and Berlin. I also co-organize the San Francisco chapter of Global Math Circle.
Art
I make public installations, performances, and software experiments - from transforming facades to choreographing drones and auctioning artists’ Facebook profiles.
Writing
I contributed a chapter to a Routledge book on computer art. I’ve also written essays for Svenska Dagbladet and a Centre Pompidou exhibition catalogue.
Other projects
Fashion, surreal food, and more.
