518    Originally produced by National Film and Sound Archive of 
       Australia in 2003. 
520    Academy Award winning animator Bruce Petty takes a 
       satirical look at the contraptions that shape our lives. 
       Education, sex, finance, globalism, art, media, medicine, 
       law, government and even the brain are all transformed 
       into evolving machines. Each five-minute episode begins 
       with the basic concept at the nucleus of the machine. Then,
       combining high-energy, free-form illustrations with 
       photographs, paintings and other snippets from the real 
       world, Petty takes us on an anarchic journey through 
       history as each apparatus builds to its complex 
       contemporary form. We see how these contraptions are not 
       immutable, but shaped by society, our changing ideas and 
       our actions. We are encouraged to question and laugh at 
       the haphazard and often faulty mechanisms that drive these
       machines that, in turn, run our lives. Narrated by Andrew 
       Denton, this witty, provocative and entertaining series 
       reveals these contraptions to be constructions of a very 
       human kind - imperfect, sometimes unpredictable and always
       subject to change. A Film Australia National Interest 
       Program. Produced with the assistance of the Australian 
       Broadcasting Corporation. 2011 National Film and Sound 
       Archive of Australia. Executive Producer: Stefan Moore,
