SONIC GUN RCA, LONDON  
Sonic gun allows you to shoot sounds that you have previously recorded with the gun itself and send them to targets that play these sounds back. The targets can be placed anywhere -- on people, walls, or objects. In send mode, the gun simply sends a sound to a target, this mode could be used for leaving messages. In the play mode the target plays back sounds already placed in the target, for example listening to a message left in the target. In the send/play mode, the target plays back a recorded sound as soon as a person shoots it. The Sonic gun is an ironic statement on guns as an object. Guns have a very negative, macho connotation, yet here they are hijacked and transformed into a humorous object. Sonic gun recaptures a viscous form and transforms it into a playful game. The gun has become a pleasent communication device with people and spaces.
