Retired SMT feeders re-employed in a leisurely manner.
I have collected 24 retired feeders from factories along with a large amount of discarded electronic materials, allowing them to continue providing a form of leisurely old-time work. These feeders come from SMT production systems of different countries, thus presenting various forms, but overall resembling guns. However, behind this seemingly aggressive appearance, they have produced a large number of consumer-grade electronic products, omnipresently influencing human life.
When humans stand in front of them, the feeders emit a sharp "bang" and spit out a very small piece of electronic material. These electronic materials fall to the ground and gradually accumulate.

退休SMT飞达们退休再就业，以一种休闲的方式。
* “Feeder”在电子行业的车间里被直接音译为飞达，原意饲养员，指电子元件送料器。
我从工厂收集了 24 个退役的贴片机送料器，以及大量被废弃的电子元件，让它们以一种“休闲的退休状态”继续履行工作。这些送料器原属于来自不同国家的 SMT 生产方案，因此形态各异，但整体都带着一种介乎机械与武器之间的姿态——外观近似枪械。只是，在这看似具有攻击性的外壳下，它们曾生产过无数消费级电子产品，持续并悄然地影响着人类生活的日常。
当人路过它们面前时，随着送料器发出“嘭”的尖啸，它会吐出一小片电子元件，轻轻落在地面，慢慢堆积。
