Centrally located above the monoliths, this was a three-tier interface on a custom CNC wooden platform, fabricated by Chris Siano according to my specs.
The base tier contained the three Mac computers, power management, and analog/digital converters.
The middle tier was a complex web of cables connecting three of my custom ethernet hubs, three Arduino Mega’s, and six of my custom video switchers
The top tier was a single monitor used for launching and fine-tuning the programs on the three Mac computers.
