一台没有任何用途的机器,用极高的精度,反复处理不需要被处理的东西:割掉一根韭菜的尖端再丢掉,把五颗豆子倒进盒子里,把一片树叶洗到 99.8%,把一颗豆子反复称三次,把两个方块摆到相距 0.008 毫米,然后分开。
每一个循环都以八个阶段完整展开:唤醒、联锁、就位、校准、执行、复检、处理、复位。每一个循环结束时,世界回到开始的样子。唯一的例外是那 0.09 克——它被切下,被丢进废料口,不可撤销。
你不按开关的时候,它也不会停:总有两条产线在彼此错开的空转里自娱自乐,像没人看管的机器在练习呼吸。你的全部劳动,仍然只是选择一个程序,然后拨动开关。机器替你完成其余的一切,并交给你一份记录。记录是这台机器唯一的产品,也是它唯一会累积的东西。
iPhone 若无声,请关闭侧边静音键 / On iPhone, turn the side mute switch off.
An apparatus with no use, applied with extreme precision to things that do not need to be handled. Eight stages, forty-three seconds, and the world returns to its prior state — except for the 0.09 grams that were cut away and cannot be restored. Even untouched, it keeps turning: two lines always idling against each other. You choose a program. You flip a switch. The machine does the rest, and hands you a record. The record is the only thing that accumulates.
建议:关闭室内灯光,全屏,声音开启(八段配乐,音量 150%)。第七次执行时请留意记录。
