Sculpt Melted Cassette Tape Puddles Into Skulls

Nov 7, 2009 04:30 PM

Cool cassette tape art by Atlanta based artist Brian Dettmer.

From Design Boom:

"...Dettmer was walking down the street he spotted a dead bird and an idea hit him. 'here was this thing that used to live, its used to fly around and play a vital role, and now it is dead and all that remains is the solid material.' Dettmer was quick to extrapolate this idea linking the bird's life to that of the cassette... all the pieces are made using only cassettes tapes with no glue, tape or other outside materials. Dettmer heats the plastic up so he can literally form and weld them with

his wet hands and other tools."

Time to dig out the ol' tapes and hold them over some heat. See what you can come up with.
