Question

Have you ever. wondered what you’d look like if you were an Asian, Middle Eastern, black, white or Indian person? By stepping into the Human Race Machine, you can find out. When you sit inside it, the machine creates a digital image（数学影像）of your face. After pushing certain buttons, the machine uses various photos of peoples of a certain ethnic group（种族）mixed with your own facial features（面部特征）. From this, it can come up with an image showing how you would look like as a member of a different race.

　　The machine is part of a traveling retrospective（回顾展）called“Seeing and Believing: The Art of Nancy Burson.”Burson is a famous American photographer and inventor. The show of 100 photos and multimedia（多媒体）words was on view at the City Art Gallery in New York on April 20.

　　“It’s a strange feeling, just like stepping into someone else’s skin,”said Kathy Zajchenko, a museum visitor from Pennsylvania, US．As soon as she sat down, she tried out a range of ethnic groups.“The Middle Eastern image worked pretty well for me,”she said with a smile.

　　According to Burson, the machine is a prayer for unity. It is about seeing through differences to find the things we all share in common Burson added the database（资料库）of Middle Eastern faces, both Arab and Jewish, after the terrorist attacks（恐怖袭击）on September 11.“I’ve always wanted to allow people to see differently. I’m a photographer. I’m recording the unseen, because what we can’t see is so much more interesting than what we can see,”Burson said.

　　For those who missed the show, the Human Race Machine will be on view at the New York Hall of Science in the Queens district full-time as of June.
