This work is entirely uninsulated, made up of 153 holes. A careless person who connects it to a 220V power supply could die instantly. It is made of tin. Normally, tin is not this dangerous—because in electronic products, it’s usually used only in small amounts, functioning like the nerve endings that connect to organs in a biological body. Even after being melted down, the tin that forms this port can still be resold at a high price and continue circulating as part of other electronic devices.

它是完全不绝缘的,由153个洞组成。将它与220v的电源连接上的人一个不注意,就会死。一般来说它没有这么危险,因为通常在电子产品里,它只会被用到一点点,可以被理解为生物体中神经末端与器官的那种连接物。我重新熔化工人后焊(维修)电路板时从烙铁上敲落的废锡,做成了这样一个界碑(港口)的状态。我提纯了,所以它可以被高阶回收,继续成为电子产品的一部分去流通。

* “Port”在英语中既指端口(interface port),也指港口(harbor),同时包含门与入口(portal)的意味。







Note: Tin Will Not Cry Out of Grievance
