CSU – Pueblo to offer students Human Race Machine Experience
Colorado State University – Pueblo students will be able to experience what
it’s like to be of a different race when the Office of Student Activities brings
The Human Race Machine to campus February 26-March 2.
The Human Race Machine’s creator Nancy Burson invented The Human Race Machine to
allow people to see what they would look like if they were of a different race.
The Human Race Machine allows users to see themselves as six different races,
The Human Race Machine maps the different race changes to the facial
characteristics of the user. Burson describes the machine and its impact: “There
is only one race, the human one. The concept of race is not genetic, but social.
There is no gene for race. The Human Race Machine allows us to move beyond
differences and arrive at sameness. We are all one.”
The Human Race Machine is currently touring colleges across the states and
making its appearance in Pueblo February 26-March 2. The Human Race Machine will
be in the Great Hall of CSU – Pueblo’s Occhiato University Center, where it will
be displayed and for use
February 26 – March 2 from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. Burson believes The Human
Race Machine is a great learning instrument in schools showing its participants
that “the machine is really a prayer for unity. It’s about seeing through our
differences to sameness, it’s like stepping into someone else’s skin.”
Burson has patented this technology while establishing Morphing Technology.
Along with being the inventor of The Human Race Machine, Burson has established
herself as a photographer, writer, inventor, healer, minister, and teacher;
teaching as an adjunct professor at New York University and as a visiting
professor at Harvard University.
