OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Further Explorations in Lethal Experimentation
Survival Research Laboratories (SRL) explores the remote manipulation and control of lethal mechanical devices
Date: 18 October 1997
Time: 11:00 AM PST
Locations: ZKM | The Center for Art and Media Technology, Karlsruhe, Germany Survival Research Laboratories, San Francisco, USA
In this experiment, the second in a continuing series of tele-operated lethal experiments, anonymous participants will establish a direct link using publicly available software over the internet into the control circuitry of one of the most dangerous devices at Survival Research Laboratories (SRL) -- the Air Launcher.
The Air Launcher consists of a high pressure gas launcher capable of targeting and delivering an explosive round within a one mile range. For this experiment, the Air Launcher will be limited to firing within a target range containing an assortment of technological artifacts and a few surprises. This system is also equipted with a video and audio feed to the internet. Remote participants will interface directly to the Air Launcher located at Survival Research Laboratories headquarters in San Francisco where they will be capable of remotely targeting objects, sequencing the loading of the projectiles into the air launcher barrel, and ultimately launching the resulting ordnance, obliterating the intended target. All operations will be controlled remotely without any local human intervention.
QUICK DETAILS - Mark Pauline will be in Chicago, IL (USA) and will be firing the first explosive projectile- Successive rounds will be fired by participants at the ZKM in Karlsruhe, Germany- Video and audio from this event will be broadcast live onto the internet including the multicast backbone
Video feed is active now*. Check the www site form more info.- The event will be active for approx 30 minutes or until all rounds have been detonated- This event is an exploration into participation and voyeuristic tendencies of remote leathal machinery. There will be no local public particpation or viewing. THIS IS NOT A PUBLIC SRL EVENT. We hope to have a public event soon.- More information on the official srl www site at http://www.srl.org
