The Owl Project is the brain child of a group of Manchester based artists creating wooden instruments that critique human interaction with computer interfaces and society’s increasing appetite for new and disposable technologies.
With a love for electronic noise and a sense of humor, they build devices similar to our familiar laptops and iPods. Although, the Log1k is not a laptop – it’s just a log. Being build from a fully circled section of the log it requires approx. 24 AA batteries to generate signals, make noise and let its fluorescent lit screen glow.
The iLog, on the other hand, is a stand alone noise generator which allows you to enjoy the sound of light. It’s wooden display offering “amazing grain quality” and available in “five eye-catching wood types, iLog is stunning all around.”

Piers,
I read your comments on Twitter with interest: why did you delete mine from here? This is perfectly good place to talk, or not?
Never mind, delete this when you’ve read it.I’ve got no problems with your RSS feed in Twitter, and purism is (you’re right) not interesting. The point is the way you don’t appear to engage much with anyone there, but just dispense links. It’s generally good stuff, but when it isn’t it, you come across in a not-good way.
I really do appreciate the effort that goes into trying not to just be a re-re-re-circulator of links, but it’s getting academic what kind of feed you find them in: the battle is over before it starts.
Outta here now/ good luck, and you know we love your stuff really. Hence this.
BTW @vulture is nobody related
