| The minimum active space required
is 10 meters by 7.5 meters by 3.5 meters high,
or 35 feet by 25 feet by 12 feet high. The major
consideration in terms of space is the total avoidance
of ambient light. The space should be painted
a non-reflective black and no light source should
exist, other than the one that emanates from monitors
themselves. Also include a low bench seating four
or five people. The entrance must be well insulated
from light and sound. Most ideal is a double trap
door with sound insulating material. (See entrance
diagram.) |

| The Vasulkas can provide
all the equipment listed below, or share resources
with the exhibitor. This will be reflected in
both shipping and equipment budgets. |

10 stackable
matching video monitors
2 Pioneer Video Laser Disk Players, LD-V Series
2 program video laser disks, NTSC, color
1 two-channel synchronizer
2 stereo audio amplifiers (4 audio channels)
4 speakers (internal speakers of superior quality
may be used)
4 speakers stands or wall mounts
10 video cables approx. 3 feet (1 meter) long
each
2 pairs of stereo cables
4 speaker cables
15 power outlets |
| NOTE: The laser disk
synchronizer used by the Vasulkas is custom built
and interfaces only with Pioneer Industrial Laser
Disk Players (2200 to 8000 Series). It is not
interchangeable with laser disk players from other
manufacturers, such as Sony and Phillips, which
require a commercially available synchronizing
device. |

| The ten (15, 21) monitors must be
matching in size and manufacture. They should
be stacked in a pyramid fashion on four square
platforms one foot (30 cm) high or a single low
bench. The platforms must be custom-made to the
size and shape of the monitors. The auxiliary
equipment (players, amplifiers, synchronizer)
should be located inside these platforms. |

| Use internal speakers or connect
the two stereo cables from each player to the
two amplifiers, and the four speaker cables to
the speakers. The speakers should be hung on the
walls at equal distances. |

| Treble should be normal and bass
at maximum. All 75 ohm terminators located on
the back of the monitors must be switched to open,
except for the last monitor on each chain. Contrast
should be high and brightness below middle. The
basic rule here is to set up the proper deep color
black as a reference to the maximum contrast and
brightness. With that, the other components (hue,
color saturation) can be assigned. The persons
installing the environment must use their esthetic
judgment as to the proper monitor settings for
maximum visual impact. |
