Funny, strange, challenging and remarkable video from artists around the world. Tonight: three pieces with the common theme of history. Max Almy 's The Thinker traces man's evolution from monkey to yuppie, and back again, in under six minutes. This Is a History of New York is an intense and idiosyncratic portrait of the city by Jem Cohen , and Peter Callas 's computer graphics in Night's High Noon present a distinctive view of Australia's often troubled past.
