CompuBeaver Casemod

Artist Kasey McMahon put together technology and nature, well, dead nature.

In her own words:

 About the beaver:

 I am interested in the way we interact with nature. As we become increasingly reliant on technology, we become disconnected from our natural environment. Nature then is a spectacle ( i.e. holy crap, that's a beaver!), an outing, a thing that is nonexistent in our daily lives.

 There is also something intrinsically funny about putting a computer in a beaver. In fact, I find it difficult to think of a more ridiculous case housing for an office machine. All innuendos aside, what better creature to house the busiest of machines - the machine that has sped up our lives and made us captive to a constant flow of information.  

 The beaver is the first case mod I've done. Many thanks to all those who helped.

 Next, I would like to make a car out of a giant squid.

 Compubeaver will be on display at the Brewery Artwalk, April 21 & 22 in downtown Los Angeles.
