yvynyl: Dead Cassette Tapes | NYLVI Atlanta based artist Brian Dettmer breaths new life into dead cassette tapes as he explores the possibilities held by forms of media fast becoming outmoded, altering and remodelling disused objects designed to communicate or share information. “Technology grows and mutates much like life or nature,” Dettmer has said about the connections between plastic and human bones in an interview with Time Out. “Old forms die as new forms are born. In one way, cassette tapes and other media have become outdated technology and the remaining materials have become remnants or shells that used to contain a living material.”

Atlanta based artist Brian Dettmer breaths new life into dead cassette tapes as he explores the possibilities held by forms of media fast becoming outmoded, altering and remodelling disused objects designed to communicate or share information.

“Technology grows and mutates much like life or nature,” Dettmer has said about the connections between plastic and human bones in an interview with Time Out. “Old forms die as new forms are born. In one way, cassette tapes and other media have become outdated technology and the remaining materials have become remnants or shells that used to contain a living material.”
