Backhoe Rescues Survival Research Labs’ Running Machine at Their Gallery Show in New York City

During the closing of the Survival Research Labs gallery show at Marlborough Contemporary in New York city, one of their robots, the Running Machine stopped functioning. A local construction crew happened to be on site and used their backhoe to rescue the machine, bringing it back inside the gallery.

It was a very “only in New York” kind of moment.
