Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
Conceived and founded by robotics fetishist Mark Pauline in November of 1978, Survival Research Laboratories have consistently challenged man's relationship with machine by offering a non-stop barrage of technologically terrifying and technically astounding performance art ever staged. Few artists have managed to produce such complex and confrontational art as Pauline and his fearless team of associates, and with this release comprised of performances from throughout Survival Research Laboratories's enduring lifespan, fans of robot wars and dystopian science fiction can get witness the nightmarish beauty of the future unfold before their very eyes.
