What do you believe is the epitome of custom art? Are you surprised that we answer this question by pointing a finger at you?
It’s true. You are completely unique. But are you wondering what this has to do with art?
DNA11 is a company that uses genetic science to create custom DNA artwork.
This means you can purchase custom DNA art; artwork designed around your DNA fingerprint.
How Does it Work?
If you are interested in purchasing one of these pieces, your first step is to visit the DNA11 website (http://www.dna11.com/about.asp).
The company website will give you detailed information about the portrait making process. Here is a brief overview of what you can expect after you contact DNA11.
What You can Expect
DNA11 will send you at kit which includes a mouth swab and a DNA collection card. After you have collected your DNA you will ship it back to the company.
From there, your DNA sample will be taken to the lab and technicians will isolate eight DNA sequences that are unique to all individuals. What they end up with is a DNA imprint. This imprint is then stained and photographed.
The photograph becomes the foundation of the artwork. A designer will add color to the imprint photograph until it is deemed a worthy piece artwork. Finally, your custom picture will be copied onto a canvas.
If DNA artwork doesn’t sound like something you are interested in, DNA11 offers other options. You can also have your fingerprint transformed into a piece of custom art, as well as your lips. Information about these processes can also be found on the company website under Kiss Portraits and Fingerprint Portraits.
If they still haven’t grabbed your attention, DNA11 now also offers DNA ancestry portraits. These portraits encode you genetic lineage and turn it into a one-of-a-kind family portrait.
