SUPER 8
“SUPER 8” A symbol of private film history: the stylized depiction of a Super 8 camera recalls the era of the 1960s and 1970s, when moving images found their way into many living rooms. Clean lines, fine hatching, and structured blue-toned surfaces highlight the device’s technical elegance. The work captures the spirit of a time when filming was not only about documentation but also became a creative, personal passion, a tribute to analog stories on celluloid. “SUPER 8” is part of the art series “Blue in a Square”, which includes 300+ artworks.
When pictures learned to move.
Until the early 1970s, moving images belonged predominantly to the film industry, the world of cinema. As soon as images started to move, things became expensive, complicated, and elaborate: film reels, film cameras, film developing, film projectors, and so on. With the Super 8 camera, these limits were broken for the first time. Suddenly, a great many people were able to capture moving and moving in every sense, images themselves, if only for short moments. This led to an art form of its own.
Many identified so strongly with this new element of film that a completely new species of filmmakers emerged from it. For many later successful directors, the first step into the world of film was the Super 8 camera. But for many more, it was also an intellectual status symbol, a way to rise above plain old photography. Those who showed holiday films, wedding films, travel films, and all other kinds of films enjoyed great creative and social esteem. The slide carousel and the holiday photos simply couldn’t keep up anymore. The staging of a film evening in the neighbourhood had many parallels to a trip to the cinema and when it came to food and drink, there was considerably more on offer.

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…
