The NYC Tape Fair, scheduled for April 27 in Bushwick, celebrates the resurgence of physical media by bringing together vendors of cassette and VHS tapes. Co-founder Anthony Morton, who has a deep appreciation for physical formats, believes these mediums offer affordable access to art and keep it widely available. Inspired by his own challenges in finding curated tapes at record fairs, Morton and his team dedicated efforts to create an event focused solely on these nostalgic forms of entertainment, highlighting their significance in a primarily digital media landscape.
Cassette and VHS tapes are seeing a resurgence with NYC Tape Fair, showcasing vendors dedicated to physical media in a digital age, highlighting affordability and accessibility.
Anthony Morton emphasizes the importance of physical media for nurturing artists and consumers, as it maintains a low barrier to entry, making art accessible for everyone.
The inspiration for NYC Tape Fair arose from Mortonâs dissatisfaction with the lack of curated tape options at traditional record fairs, motivating him to organize a dedicated event.
The co-founders aimed to gather various vendors in one space, creating an inclusive environment for physical media enthusiasts during the event spanning six hours.
