NANCY BURSON
Nancy Burson combined art and innovation in a way that challenged photographic truth at the birth of digital manipulation. She is best known for her pioneering work in morphing technologies which age-enhance the human face and still enable law enforcement officials to locate missing children and adults. Her Human Race Machine, commissioned by Zaha Hadid for the London Millennium Dome, was used for over a decade as a diversity tool that provided viewers with the visual experience of being another race.
Her work is included in museums worldwide including the MoMA, Metropolitan Museum, and the Whitney Museum in New York City, as well as the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Center Georges Pompidou in Paris, the LA County Museum of Art and the Getty Museum, MoMA (San Francisco), the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, and the Smithsonian Museum in Washington DC, as well as many others.
One of Burson’s images was chosen for Time Magazine’s book: 100 Photographs, The Most Influential Images of All Time and her Time Magazine cover of Trump & Putin combined went viral in July, 2018. Her work has been featured in all forms of media including segments on Oprah, Good Morning America, CBS Evening News, CNN, National Public Radio, PBS, and Fuji TV News, as well as countless local TV segments in the USA, Canada & Europe.
