'Ghost In The Machine' Cassette Art

“The idea comes from a philosopher’s description of how your spirit lives in your body. I imagine we are all, like cassettes, thoughts wrapped up in awkward packaging.” iRI5 writes in her latest art project 'Ghost In The Machine'. Above is a portrait of Jimmy Hendrix made out of recycled cassette tape with the original plastic cassette intact. More portraits below.

iRI5, a self-taught freelance artist, is making creative and innovative art pieces out of recycling found materials like cassettes, magazines, playing cards and turn them into masterpieces. Her works are often noted for their unique style, elegance, and technique. Some of her works have been featured in galleries in London and Brisol.

We're particularly fond of her latest project called 'Ghost In The Machine' where iRI5 showcases a number of musicians' portraits that are made out of recycled cassette tapes with original cassettes.
