Painted by Chinese Artists, Dai Dudu, Li Tiezi and Zhang An, oil on canvas, 2006.

This painting is truly remarkable. Even more amazing though, is that the canvas has been computerized. When you run your cursor over the people.

The program tells you who they are - every single one of them.

If you click on the person you obtain the individual's life history.
