Physical refinement of installation prototype:

• Laptop will be placed on the left side of installation, displaying looped labour footage from the Artron printing factory, and exercise park
• Refined and adjusted placement/ angular orientation of the acetate projection screens
• Materials & components for the final installation:
  • Laptop + plinth, for display of labour footage (left side of installation)

  • Robotic arm, clamped to grip stand (consisting of linear actuator, servo motors, and picoprojector)
  • White acetate sheets, 8"x10", 18 pieces (used to form an array of hanging projection screens)
  • Mobile barriers, 2 pieces (left and right walls of the installation)
  • Plastic fishing line (used to hang the white acetate sheets at various heights)
  • Metal fencing mesh, 14 gauge ('ceiling' of the installation, from which the acetate sheets/screens were hung)
  • Black fabric (used as the background for the installation)
