A full-scale Survival Research Labs show is scheduled to take place on August 11th in San Jose as part of ZeroOne San Jose & International Symposium of Electronic Art (ISEA2006) conference which runs August 7th through 13th. Tickets are now available for the show (the capacity is 2000) and funds raised from the show will help with the massive relocation of the SRL Shop. Check out Violet Blue’s blog for her post on the show.

From the ZeroOne San Jose website:
Some things are purely mythic like Survival Research Labs, which springs from the shell of abandoned buildings, monster robotic history, and fire. An interdisciplinary mash-up like no other, SRL, brings a newly conceived performance to ZeroOne San Jose full of its legendary machines, flame-throwers, and bombastic sound. Humans are only present as audience or operators; in this show it’s all about the machines. As described by founder Mark Pauline, an SRL performance is comprised of “ritualistic interactions between machines, robots, and special effects devices.” Whatever else you call it, (and the title won’t be announced until just before the show), we call it big fun, exciting, and something you won’t want to miss. This one is definitely for more than the brainiac crowd – it’s monster machine, meets hovercraft, meets huge sculptural creatures, meets fire.

Sweet! And in SJ to boot!
Where is a good place half a mile away with good sight lines? I’m not trying to avoid donating, but that’s thr right way to do an SRL show. Way the hell away.
Jones’in for a ticket, will there be any additional available at the box office?
