TAPE
TAPE is a homage to the analog era of the early 1980s. A stylized audio cassette in subdued shades of blue, minimalist and iconic. The image evokes memories of mixtapes, best of compilations, tangled tape, the Walkman, and recording songs from the radio. In its reduced form, retro meets clarity. A visual echo of the past, reinterpreted in a square format. TAPE is part of the art series Blue in a Square, which includes 250+ artworks.
Tape jam isn’t a vegan delicacy.
For a while, the cassette, the tape, was the musical center of gravity for my generation. A recording off the radio was pure gold, provided the DJ didn’t cut it short or a traffic update didn’t crash the song. You held your breath with every take, hoping for a spotless capture.
But tapes had their quirks. How often did the music stop abruptly with a sudden warbling sound? Now every millisecond counted: had the tape snapped, or could you fix the “spaghetti” by rewinding it with a pencil? It got downright reckless in the car: when a tape began to wobble, so did your attention to the road. And yet we cherished those cassettes.

Keynography Art
Keynography Art is a new digital art form founded by Christof Hintze, with no AI being used or applied, created in Apple Keynote—originally a presentation program. Through the precise interplay of complex stencils, masks, lines, and many layers and shadows, shapes, depth, and spatial effects are built up—like a collage, but entirely digital. The result feels like a graphic relief: clean, detailed, and surprisingly three-dimensional, even though it is made from simple Keynote elements. More about it in my bio…
