Owl Project

Owl Project make sculpture, music and sound art which include a distinctive range of musical and sculptural instruments that critique human interaction with computer interfaces and our increasing appetite for new and often disposable technologies. 

Owl project is Simon Blackmore, Antony Hall and Steve Symons who are most well known for their Log1K, Sound Lathe, and iLog. They are currently working with the artist Kaffe Mathews to develop the new m-log which will be presented at Ding Dong at FACT, Liverpool, December 2008.

The iLog series is a reflection on our relationship with consumer technology. The design of each iLog strongly echoes contemporary products such as iPods and advanced mobile phones. These extremely developed complex products, with their plastic techno-packaging, seem modern and beguiling, but also appear craft-less and encourage a disturbing disposability.
 
Owl Project have recently performed at Futuresonic (Manchester UK) 2006; Digital Wellbeing Labs (London); Musikprotokoll (Graz AU); TEKS trondhiem Norway; The Serpentine Gallery stage, London 2008; Garage Festival (Stralsund, Germany), with Matmos (Scala, London, UK)  and the Emergences Festival (Paris, France).
