Cassettes are on the verge of extinction. They are no longer used as a means for recording music or teaching programs; they have long been replaced by CDs, DVDs and flash drives. Only the creative and creative natures have not forgotten about the cassettes, which give them a second life, using them as material for the realization of their creative ideas: pictures are drawn on the cassettes, using them as canvas, from which they create beautiful portraits by the musician. And the artist Brian Dettmer (Brian Dettmer) from old cassettes makes strange sculptures of skeletons and skulls.
Brian Dettmer is better known for his book "adaptations", but if desired, he can use not only old books as creative material, but also cards, records and cassettes, turning unnecessary trash into true works of art. His skeletal sculptures are on display at the International Museum of Surgical Science.
Working with cassettes and videotapes, Dettmer first takes them apart, melts and changes their original form. In his hands, the molten cassette material is like clay, from which he can mold whatever his imagination envisions. The series of sculptures of skulls and skeletons was created mainly from cassettes with heavy metal music. And here the author put a certain subtext: "heavy metal" - music of the 80s, when the cassettes were at the peak of their fame, while the records continue to live and have their fans, the cassettes go into oblivion.

Portraits from the cassette. The original work of the iRI5 artist
The wise cat Matroskin said: "to sell something unnecessary, you need to buy something unnecessary." But if there is already something unnecessary in the house, it can be creatively processed to get something beautiful, original - and necessary not only for the author, but also for all other hand-made lovers. So, someone processes clothes or furniture, someone processes plastic bottles and parts from broken computers, coffee makers and watches, and an American artist, acting under the pseudonym iRI5, works with
