Stay Tuned for Premiere of SRL Video 

Last year's Ghostly Scenes of Infernal Desecration: An SRL End of Days Production was filmed by a stellar crew of film makers and videographers and the result is an amazing edit by Ian Williamson and Babalou where the audience is immersed within a 16 channel audio recording, putting them into the middle of the performance, while 10 10' screens surround them with a multi-camera, multi-screen edited video. By far the most accurate reproduction of an SRL show, as well as an experience impossible to have live.

Watch this site for more details on when and where it will be shown!

Mark Pauline Speaks at CCA 

Mark Pauline: Survival Research Laboratories
Media Arts lecture
Thursday, March 15, 7:30 pm

Nahl Hall, Oakland campus
Info: 510.594.3656

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.
