iLog – The Noise of Nature

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.”
