Who Wrote the Cassette Label?

Egypt · 1980s A cassette could hold a song, a recording from home, or something a friend wanted you to hear. Andrew Simon’s history of Egyptian cassette culture traces how these small objects became part of homes and shops during the 1970s and 1980s—and gave more people a way to record and circulate sound. Here, a blank label leaves the memory to you. What would you write on it? This scene is AI-created; the tape is not a recovered artefact. AI-created imagined scene; not an archival photograph or a record of real people. Sources: Andrew Simon — Media of the Masses — https://www.andrewgsimon.com/media-of-the-masses
