The Cassette Tape Skeleton
July 11, 2008 - 242,885 views
Cassette tapes are near extinction, considering CDs, DVDs, Blue Ray and other innovative disk coming along. And the following skeleton is one wacky creation for this statement. The creation belongs to Brian Dettmer, I guy famous for altering common media such as old books, maps, record albums, and cassette tapes and transforming them into works of art. The following skeleton is currently on display at the International Museum of Surgical Science.









More on Brian on his flickr stream and another interesting work on book autopsies.

now i know wat to do wit all my plastics….
Dude that is SO cool! Someone apparently liked classic ROCK! Good use for old cassetes long replaced by CDs or MP3s.
JT
Poor tapes !!
Where’s the full shot? I see skull, shoulders and one shot of a hip bone but no full shot?
now i know wat to do wit all my plastics….
wat
wow dude, that’s REALLY cool
WHOA, GET THAT THING INTO A GARBAGE COMPACTOR ASAP!! LooL361
Did someone just refer to Huey Lewis and Motley Crue and The Go Go’s as “classic rock?” You just made me feel really old. Classic rock = while the Vietnam War was still going on.
Somebody has waaaaay too much time…
Who has so much time?!?!?
dont listen to all of those people who are disrespecting you. this is amazing and all of them know that they could never pull this together
totally photoshopped
@sam
Photoshopped, /where/? Oh, do you mean the labels?
Even someone with impressive rendering skills won’t do something like that. Next time, take a closer look.
that is really interesting. quite unique to say the least
Awesome work! Haters be gone.
When are you going to do the CD version?
At least it isn’t made of vinyl. Vinyl is by no means obsolete.
While the pieces are stunning and unique… have you ever heard of dioxin? As in that really horrible, bio accumulating, birth defect causing by product of applying high heat to plastic?
Cool but not very responsible.
Metal Head
Photoshopped.
wow, that must have taken years to make
Pragya. You could make a book out of all the melted down plastic and create a book, an easy to read one of course that teaches you how to spell. Please don’t be a lazy writer. It makes you look stupid and pathetic.
And no it is not photoshopped.
Run on sentence much? Some grammar king, can’t even form a coherent insult.
Cool skeleton, what did you do with all the tape?
WHAT A FUCKING WAAAASSSSSSTTTTTEEEEE
This thing was not made by Man. It rose up from out of the hot vinyl seats of my friends ‘78 Monte Carlo.
