What will you
look like 10 years from now? What if you had
been born a member of a different race or a
different gender? You can see for yourself
Jan. 21-25, when Schreiner
University’s
Student Activities
Board will bring The Human Race
Machine to campus.
The HRM is a
multimedia computer console with four
programs that work with a person’s face:
aging, race, combining a couple and facial
anomalies. The aging program is the same
technology used by law enforcement in
looking for missing persons. |

Nancy Burson, an
artist and pioneer in morphing technology, developed
HRM to demonstrate that characteristics such as age
and race are superficial. “There’s only one race,
the human one,” Burson says on her Web site (www.nancyburson.com/human_fr.html).
“The Human Race machine is a powerful diversity
tool,” said Jennifer Hudson-Velazquez, director of
student activities and Greek life at Schreiner.
The Human Race Machine installation will be open to
the public. For more information, contact
Hudson-Velazquez at 830-792-7283 or by e-mail at
