Survival Research Laboratories is a not-for-profit machine-
performance art group conceived of and founded by Mark Pauline in
November 1978. Since its inception SRL has operated as an organization
of creative technicians dedicated to re-directing the techniques,
tools, and tenets of industry, science, and the military away from
their typical manifestations in practicality, product or warfare.
Since 1979, SRL has staged over 45 mechanized presentations in the
United States and Europe. Each performance consists of a unique set of
ritualized interactions between machines, robots, and special effects
devices, employed in developing themes of socio-political satire.
Humans are present only as audience or operators.
Survival Research Laboratories is accessible via WWW and email:
[63]http://www.srl.org and
[64]http://www.catch22.com/~srl
The site has scanned-in photographs and video images of SRL shows in
GIF and JPG format and news. Questions or comments to
[65]support@srl.org.
Joel Plutchak has a WWW mirror site for SRL at:

There are two SRL tapes carried by Media Magic - a company that has
all sorts of great books, programs, CD-ROMs, laser disks, videos, etc
