It runs from the 1,280 humans who survived a near-extinction to the machine that may outlast our species entirely. The 1,280 are not a metaphor. Their descendants are every person alive today. The scene is the hall of mirrors at Versailles, the palace Louis XIV built to display his own greatness, here a museum of humankind. The people of the future come to learn how we ended.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLook for the three figures. The Imperialist, the Ape and the Robot are all here, and the painting is, in a sense, about the three of them: humankind, nature, and the machine. If you've passed our window these last weeks, you've already met two. The Ape and the Robot have been standing on the plinths, watching Bakklandet go by.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe rest we'll leave to the film, and to the painting. Guttestreker's pictures are dense enough to stand in front of for an hour without catching everything inside.
