Art of the Cassette Tape: History & Practice with Ben Kudler (Otisville Correctional Facility) — In this workshop, participants will learn about the artistic capabilities of the cassette tape, and develop skills in audio production and editing. Participants will learn about the rich history and technology of the cassette. Oftentimes perceived as obsolete, cassette tapes offer artistic possibilities that more recent digital media do not. Using pre-approved audio (including nature sounds, sound effects, and spoken word) participants will collage sound to craft their own audio artworks and audio journals.
