As entertaining as large, flat-screen television sets are when people are using them to watch shows, movies and sports, they can also be an eyesore during a party or causal get-together when people aren’t using them.  Cool person in technology Sheldon Laube has found a way to give TVs a better purpose when not performing their primary function.  Laube has created Artkick, which provides a massive archive of photographs and digital artwork for users to push to their television displays wirelessly through an Android and iPhone app.  Artkick users can wirelessly control what images display on their large screen televisions using their phones.  Laube wants people to be able to repurpose their televisions easily when not using them.  With Artkick, people can instantly make their televisions into eye-catching art displays that make their home feel more welcoming to visitors.  Users simply connect their phones to their televisions through a Wi-Fi signal and select whatever image they want displayed.  Anyone who has trouble connecting their smartphones to their TVs through their wireless Internet will need to get home network support for help.

Laube collaborates with many art museums throughout the world to provide his customers with an enormous amount of high quality images to display through Artkick.  Laube also connects Artkick to image archives from NASA and the Library of Congress to provide users with easy access to thousands of unique photos.  People can also connect their social media accounts to Artkick in order to display any personal pictures if they so wish.  Currently, Laube’s company lets users connect with their Facebook, Picasa, Flickr, Instagram, and SmugMug accounts.  Any users who has accounts not connecting to their Artkick app properly should seek out a mobile tech support service that can aid them.

Laube has been in the field of computer technology for decades.  In 1975, he founded the Consumer Financial Institute, which used AI technology to produce personal financial plans for clients. He eventually sold that company to accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (then PriceWaterhouse). Laube served at PwC as both chief information officer and chief innovation officer for many years.  He broke away from the accounting firm in 2011 and founded Artkick in 2013.  This cool person’s newest venture is a vast departure from his previous work, but his technical and business expertise will likely still translate well to his role as CEO while he works to expand his company’s reach.
