Survival Research Laboratories (SRL), founded in November 1978 by Mark Pauline, is an innovative organization composed of creative technicians dedicated to subverting conventional industrial, scientific, and military practices. Since 1979, SRL has staged over 45 mechanical performances across the United States and Europe, showcasing unique interactions between machines, robots, and special effects that explore themes of socio-political satire.
The performances are marked by their ritualized nature, with humans participating only as operators or audience members, allowing the technology and machinery to take center stage. This provocative approach challenges the audience's perceptions of technology and its role in society, making each event a memorable experience.
