“Jammer Horn” is a mobile, sound piece without any sound. It is the inversion of the horn’s functionality in the digital domain. A temperature sensor triggers a high-range cell phone jammer which sits inside the horn giving the blower supremacy over the communication within the immediate vicinity. With the use of the horn’s bell, a directional signal is sent out blocking any cell phone activity within 30-50 meters of the horn. From the ancient period, the horn has symbolised the communication between gods and humans as messages of order, warning and prophecy which are turned into sound and transmitted over long distances much more powerful and directional than the human voice. Thus the horn has become an integral part of mythology and religion, while “Jammer Horn” becomes a forerunner of the next generations of our interactive art field.
