Textile Woven From Audio Cassette Tape

Alyce Santoro creates the Sonic Fabric by weaving 50% prerecorded cassette tape and with 50% cotton, which can then be fashioned into clothing, handbags, flags/banners. I don’t know how it works, but its website says you can yank some tape head and run it on the fabric surface to “playback” the old recordings on the tape. Maybe what you’d hear is some creepy back-masking of the classic line, “Paul is a dead man.” Or you might hear the braying of an ass, where the ass in question is somebody wearing a cassette tape. I’m not sure, though.
