00:02This is what the future looks like. It's 21-30, humans are gone and Lego minifigs have moved into the
00:09junk left behind.
00:10We just like looking at cool stuff and figuring out what little plastic people will do with them.
00:15Creators Alex Towler and Jackson Harvey created this new civilisation out of old stuff.
00:22This exhibition was built on a majority of salvaged parts. It's mostly second hand Lego.
00:28We've got a lot of really unique objects in the exhibition, some of them really hard to find.
00:33My personal favourite is the 76-year-old jukebox.
00:37Even with millions of pieces and two and a half thousand minifigures, they say Lego is just a small part.
00:45There's lots of little Easter eggs and hidden stories that you can only find if you look around a corner
00:51and down a hallway or behind a shelf.
00:54The moments that I like the most are the ones where the minifigs feel most alive.
00:56The televisions that we have with the stop-motion animations next to the sets that they were filmed with I
01:02think is a really special moment.
01:03But even the mini construction industry has its worksite hazards.
01:08Yeah, I mean I've got band-aids on both my fingers. It's a dangerous business.
01:11The worlds are whimsical and wonderful and are works of art.
01:15This exhibition is at its core about not following instructions, doing something differently.
01:20Relics, a new world rises, is on its CMAG until the end of January.
01:25They've built it, now you can come.
01:27Let's go.
01:28Let's go.
01:28Let's go.
01:28Let's go.
01:29Let's go.
01:29Let's work.
