Survival Research Laboratories (SRL) was conceived of and founded by
Mark Pauline in November 1978. Since then, SRL has operated as an
organization of creative technicians dedicated to redirecting the
techniques, tools, and tenets of industry, science, and the military
away from their typical manifestations in practicality, product, and
warfare.

Since 1979, SRL has staged over 45 mechanized presentations. Each
performance consists of a unique set of ritualized interactions
between machines, robots, and special effects devices, employed in
developing themes of sociopolitical satire. Humans are present only
as audience or operators.
