Spike Ball Machine

by srl on 2022-02-15

The latest machine in progress. Spike Ball – there’s no official name for this spike ball puncher machine yet but Mark is gonna put it on a base with unidirectional wheels (see 2nd image). The metal used is this special alloy 15-5 which is super strong and will not shatter even with high pressure. Props may shatter but not the machine #survivalreseaechlabs #srl

Survival Research Laboratories was conceived of and founded by Mark Pauline in November 1978. Since its inception SRL has operated as an organization of creative technicians dedicated to re-directing the techniques, tools, and tenets of industry, science, and the military away from their typical manifestations in practicality, product or warfare. Since 1979, SRL has staged over 45 mechanized presentations in the United States and Europe. Each performance consists of a unique set of ritualized interactions between machines, robots, and special effects devices, employed in developing themes of socio-political satire. Humans are present only as audience or operators.
