Her collaboration with Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Cambridge engineers resulted in the development of the aging machine, also referred to as The Method and Apparatus for Producing an Image of a Person's Face at a Different Age. During the early 1980s, Nancy's utilization of this technology to create thought-provoking portraits, as well as its practical application in locating missing children, garnered considerable attention. Additionally, her creation, the Human Race Machine, has served as a diversity tool for well over a decade, allowing viewers to visually experience being of a different race.

The complex truth behind Nancy's beliefs and how they shaped her career evokes questions about the nature of creation and of reality itself. See less
