A meta-art instalation at the London Hackspace. It is an artpiece composed of other artpieces contributed by the community. | |||
A | A sort of a tree made of VESA mount arms with screens on them. There is a slight outwards taper to the arrangement toward the top. | ||
=== Mechanics === | |||
The VESA bracket/screen interface uses M4x10mm bolts, the hex socket at the ends of the arms for adjusting the angle needs a 7mm hex key. | The VESA bracket/screen interface uses M4x10mm bolts, the hex socket at the ends of the arms for adjusting the angle needs a 7mm hex key. | ||
The upright stem is strapped to the building pillar with brackets. This is a work-around, as the landlords agreement would not allow drilling large enough holes in the floor or ceiling. | |||
Do not tamper with the support brackets or height positions of the VESA arms. The arms use shims to fit the stem and they may fall out if adjusted. | |||
The top two sets of arms have been specially modified for extra reach, meaning their weight limit is extremely low. Currently being considered for VESA-mount LED lights or as a position to hang "vines" from. | |||

Looking on ebay the NVS280 is one choice of PCI card, the NVS400 gives 4 outputs and may be more cost effective. Splitter cables are an issue tho (these are DMS-59 splitters, the connector on the card is NOT DVI tho it looks a lot like it) :/ | Looking on ebay the NVS280 is one choice of PCI card, the NVS400 gives 4 outputs and may be more cost effective.
