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.
