Survival Research Laboratories

Survival Research Laboratories (SRL) is an American performance art group which pioneered the genre of large-scale machine performance. Founded in 1978 by Mark Pauline in San Francisco the group is known in particular for performances where custom-built machines, often robotic, compete to destroy each other. The performances, described by one critic as "noisy, violent and destructive", are noted for visual and aural cacophony created by the often dangerous interactions of the machinery. SRL's work is related to process art and generative art.
