《卡⾨》是⼀個關於⼆⼿菸的故事。抽烟或者抽完烟,喝下第⼀⼝咖啡之後我可能會想要⼤便,什麼東西要來了,這種感覺。但也不是每⼀次都會來。有⼀天吸⼊了⼤量⼆⼿菸,超過三個⼈以上在聊天這種場合,就感覺到有什麼要來了,我就不說話了我等著,等了⼀個晚上都沒來,第⼆天起床,尿尿,抽菸,⼤便,開始刷⼀些不⽤費什麼勁就能看到的東西我最近喜歡看這些,美團因為我刷短視頻已經返現給我六⼗塊錢。然後就來了。
使⽤膠版印刷(offset)模擬2003年∕ 2012年產針式打印機(北⽅實達 NX-500 ∕愛普⽣ LQ-595K)在四聯複寫紙上的打印效果。以相對低成本的⽅式,重現⼀種近乎過時卻⼜帶有奇異魅⼒的機械質感。
A remarkably inexpensive second-hand machine produces quite a magical effect. After finishing a cigarette or while smoking, after taking that first sip of coffee of the day, I might feel the urge to take a shit—a sensation that something is coming. But it doesn’t happen every single time. One day, after inhaling a significant amount of secondhand smoke—in a setting where more than three people were chatting—I sensed something approaching. I fell silent and waited. I waited all night, but it didn’t come. The next day, I woke up normally: urinated, smoked, defecated, and began scrolling through things that required little effort to view. I’ve been rather fond of these lately. Meituan has already refunded me forty quid for scrolling through short videos. Then it came. Carmen is a story about secondhand smoke.
Produced using offset printing to simulate the effect of dot matrix printing (circa 2003/2012, STAR NX-500 / Epson LQ-595K) on carbonless copy paper. Through this process, a relatively low-cost method recreates the obsolete yet strangely compelling mechanical texture of such machines.
