Necktie Made Out of Recycled Cassette Tapes

All of those cassette tapes being thrown into our trash dumps are really starting to add up.

At its base is a customized active keyboard which works with interactive software, so anything you type becomes part of the sculpture when it is displayed... Continue reading
