Memory Gems is a cultural agency founded by Leonardo Dellanoce and Arthur Steiner.
Until now culture has been split between established models of physical experience, and disembodied interactions in the digital space. But in the 21st century, the physical is increasingly digitised and the internet is becoming more spatial. Memory Gems provides consultancy services to navigate the rapid shifts and changes of the latest tech developments. We support our clients to understand technologies such as blockchain and mixed reality, and how they can help you achieve your vision.
