Keeping analog technologies alive is the speciality of Austrian entrepreneur Florian “Doc” Kaps – best known for his success in keeping the very last Polaroid film production facility based in Enschede, The Netherlands up and running, resulting in the comeback of instant film to the market.
Before dedicating himself to saving analog technologies from extinction, he was a dedicated biology student, discovering the miracles of the 7-eyes-system of a certain spider, which then led him to developing night vision machines for The Lomographic Society, where he also built the company’s international online platforms and communities.
At his current venture SUPERSENSE – an all analog manufactory/studio/shop/cafe based in Vienna – he is also constantly building a network of analog mavericks, makers, dreamers and doers who preserve analog technologies, carefully merge them with the present and convey them into the future.
