Preeminent machine artist, longtime art “prankster” Pauline and his troupe Survival Research Labs influenced generations of transgressive artist. His massive scale robotic “ballets of destruction” using repurposed military and industrial hardware and a great range of huge destructible props are unlike anything else seen in an art context, though perhaps not unfamiliar to mechanized warfare aficionados. Pauline and John Law became acquainted in the early 80’s while exploring the abandoned factories of San Francisco, Pauline for mechanical detritus to repurpose as art, Law scouting for locations to mount large-scale site-specific events for the Suicide Club & later Cacophony Society. In the early 90’s Law joined the SRL crew and built some of the largest destructible props for shows in Japan, Texas, LA, and San Francisco, many of these props incorporating neon as a design element.
