Fritz Kahn created a lithograph in 1926 titled 'Der Mensch als Industriepalast' that illustrated the human body as a factory. This representation included mechanical lungs and a switchboard for the brain, reflecting the pervasive influence of industrialization on Western society. More than 80 years later, artist Henning Lederer animated Kahn's work to bring the mechanical body to life, enhancing its relevance today.
