With custom computer case modifications becoming ever more popular, it was only matter of time before talented ladies starting putting together their own creations.

When artist Kasey McMahon decided to put her skills to use and fashion her very own custom computer case modification, she chose to cross technology with 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.

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