80gritArt is art and useful objects forged from used material once destined to landfill or recycling centers. 80gritArt strives to spark the imagination and attempts to give people a whimsical new perspective on discarded objects. After all, the purest and simplest form of Earth conservation is giving expired or obsolete discarded junk a new life. All sculptures are made from reused material. Everything is printed on used paper bags. We use telephone wire to tie the tags on the art, and bicycles to collect the stuff. Even the weld wire is from used stainless bicycle spokes!

Survival Research Laboratories was conceived of and founded by Mark Pauline in November 1978. Since its inception SRL has operated as an organization of creative technicians dedicated to re-directing the techniques, tools, and tenets of industry, science, and the military away from their typical manifestations in practicality, product or warfare. Since 1979, SRL has staged over 45 mechanized presentations in the United States and Europe. Each performance consists of a unique set of ritualized interactions between machines, robots, and special effects devices, employed in developing themes of socio-political satire. Humans are present only as audience or operators. (From the website)
The Vaults are a series of massive underground fallout shelters developed by Vault-Tec in the mid-21st century.
The vaults initially appeared as a haven for the endangered U.S. population. However, there were not nearly enough Vaults to achieve the task. The true reason for these 'shelters' was that in fact they were a series of sociological experiments conducted by a group known as the Enclave. Each Vault was set up with different conditions and observed to see how the dwellers within coped with varying conditions and the pressures of isolation.
