the singapore river as a psychogeographical faultline

Dominic and Edward have been helping me with the projector mounts and testing the setup for the table. while studying mechanical engineering, Edward previously built other things with aluminum profiles, so he recommended using these aluminum bits to build the mount instead of wood (as it would help conduct the heat away from the projector better!)

despite its complex appearance, (well, to construction noobs like me) it's actually a rather simple and modular system to build with, along with other parts (gussets, glass/mirror mounts, hinges, etc). plus it has the benefit of being lightweight and easily adjustable for height/length...



one thing is that you MUST remember to do in advance is to: TAPPING THE SCREWS. and what is this mystical tapping business? this refers to the process of creating a thread for the screw to go into. according to Edward you can do it by hand, but of course it is always ideal if you can just get the supplier to thread it on the spot. saves you from the heart attack of suddenly having to google for hardware stores in the city area...
