Abstract
In this digital age, predictions have been made for a future where machines surpass the intelligence of man and integrate themselves with humankind. Regardless of whether or not these predictions become reality, they still speak to the general trend of technology moving beyond the realm of tools that enrich our lives and into the territory of machines that enslave us. Furthermore, the majority of us do not understand these modern, digital machines as they are not transparent in their operation. TapeHeads realizes a microcosm of society where people are allowed to be creative by interacting with transparent, analog technologies through the construction of a sound art installation. This installation is comprised of several machines built from cassette and eight-track players that are entirely interactive and invite participants to create and explore technology through the use of sound.
