I grabbed a frame off of @steve_bage ‘s video montage of the Running Machine which as yall know is for sale! Its totally fun and easy to run as you can see in the pic im running it in the snow in NY 2018! Itll be weird if someone buys it and its not around at shows anymore though.
Ok you guys the running machine is for sale $9,999,999 or BEST OFFER! Look how fun this is to run and event turned off look at the details - an engineering and design wonder! New video posted to the ebay listing by @steve_bage. Heres the ebay link: www.ebay.com/itm/37602123...
I hope someone can give this iconic machine a good home! I can attest it is a ton of fun to operate and really its a reasonable price for well known living artists who usually outsource the actual work. MP made everything himself! A machine like this takes years to make every part from scratch!
Hi - i gave Mark the heads up thanks!
SRL is getting the boot from our facility in Petaluma. Time to sell some of these deadbeat machines! Here’s your chance to own the Running Machine. Designed & built by SRL founder Mark Pauline this machine has performed in many SRL shows since it was constructed in ‘92. www.ebay.com/itm/37602123...
Happy 2025 🤞
Robin Fox live lasers at Recombinant Fest last week at Gray Area.
Oh wow. I knew there was drama but didn’t know they actually shut down! That’s too bad…
I wish! Did you know the other owners of the gallery sued the curator for having SRL! But kudos to the curator - there are common sense ways to have shows indoors that are safe and well attended!
Gentler on surfaces should a gallery want to exhibit SRL again :)
M. Pauline:
Punching machine untethered using compressed air in a scuba tank. 1st clip running @ 300 psi, 2nd @ 250 psi. Smelled combustion @ 300 psi so that’s getting close to the limit. That means the lubricating oil in the air cylinder is compressed enough that it’s igniting like a diesel engine
You guys should check out the Recombinant Fest at @grayareaorg Naut says the Motion Control Modell 5 by Granular Synthesis on 12/5 is insane and not to be missed. Also looking forward to @foxalot ‘s Tryptich on 12/6 LASERS!!! Go to www.recombinant.media for more info and ticket links
Trying out a driverless car - it drove past us and stopped confused a couple times and dropped us off in a dangerous spot with no curb. Almost got hit by another self driving car that stopped and seemed to understand the gesture for go ahead I’ll wait while im standing in the street. 😆
