& Brian Dettmer ..again

Of all things, how did Dettmer come up with bones as his subject matter? He’d already been contemplating the end of cassette tapes as media format when one day he spied a dead bird on the street and thought “here was this thing that used to live, it used to fly around and play a vital role, and now it is dead and all that remains is the solid material.” The analogy between analog media and skeletons was pretty easy to link up and before Brian knew it, he was creating a series of 12 human skulls out of tapes.
