  • This was a show we did for the groundbreaking ceremony at this museum. Battle Bots is the popcorn machine version of SRL. They started doing their events in 1994, 16 years after SRL started doing these much more violent and disruptive events. Mimicry (even attempted mimicry) is the greatest form of flattery!

  • Thanks! We're always looking for opportunities to wreak more havoc. If you really want to see some live machine action, set us up!

  • @TylerFritsch90 Battlebots is where engineers build machines to compete for a championship, SRL is where innocent people compete to save their lives!

  • So is this supposed to be sort of like Battle Bots with modern art?

  • That was a fun show. I got to see it only by chance, was out on an errand and it took me by there just before the show started. I was standing near all the cameramen, I remember there being a bunch of em all behind this barricade and the V2 was turned toward them and went off, billowing smoke and flame at them, they all dove for the asphalt, and crawled away on their bellies. It was funny, I was hoping that was captured on tape.

  • I think on The Pleasures of Uninhibited Excess video there's a clip of SRL testing the buzz bomb engine, and the ensuing fun of the fire department showing up. Love that and when the fake TNT bombs started showing up on beaches...

  • I love Mark and the work he has done creating these apocalyptic art events. I guess you have to have seen one live to REALLY get the power of it!
