ghost in the machine

Representing a very unusual and symbolic series of art works created by imaginative artist Erica Simmons – Ghost in the Machine. Made out of recycled cassette tape with original cassette these works show portraits of legends of music of 20th century. Old tapes and pictures of musicians… From the words of Erica "The idea comes from a philosopher’s (Ryle) description of how your spirit lives in your body."
