Nina Jua Klein’s typewriter recordings:
“A project based on an early childhood memory of my father writing his articles on a typewriter. The sound of each article on page 1 of the Sueddeutsche Zeitung typed on a

the relics of processes that have become redundant in the digital age.”

Have tapes? Make a lamp!

The “Cassette’s Not Dead” lamp by Vanessa Moreno, ($35 – $317). “Moreno accepts tape donations, which go towards her dream of building an entire furniture line from the dated media.” The design of the lamp allows you to swap in your own tapes. [designcrave.com via Inhabitat]
