If you're wondering, “MAD” stands for Mechanical Art and Design, and if you’re not quite sure what mechanical art is all about, just think of the machines and gizmos used in Wallace and Gromit and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!
In a nutshell, mechanical art is typically beautifully crafted, moving sculptures often made to have an exaggerated purpose or made simply for the fun of it!
