Awesome old footage of Mark Pauline blowing stuff up in a San Francisco parking lot

2021-09-08 00:00:00

In 1981, Performance artist, inventor, and founder of Survival Research Laboratories, Mark Pauline, went live on the television show SFO to blow stuff up.

An intrigued-yet-nervous crowd gathered around as Pauline and SRL fired explosives at a giant drawing of a head, on a board. The head's mouth is agape, opening and shutting as explosives get shot into it. My favorite part of this video is when a sculpture of a little skeleton- creature is pulled out of the mouth. The dimensionality of this show is awesome, as it combines art, performance, robotics, and explosives.
