Portraits made from your own DNA. Art from Within (as it is called) found at DNA11
"The process begins with the DNA being collected using a patented, non-invasive technique: using a special swab (much like a Q-tip) to painlessly collect cheek cells (Ok....). The DNA is extracted to create a unique genetic fingerprint, using a technique that takes advantage of the variation that occurs among the DNA sequence of every individual. The DNA is then stained with a fluorescent dye and illuminated by UV light. A special camera captures the image, which is then digitally enhanced, cropped, color adjusted, adding colors and filter effects."
Sounds techy, but it sure results in a one-of-a-kind art piece. An heirloom perhaps... ??! I have to wonder what mine would look like.... is there such a thing as ugly DNA?


Great find! I love this idea, and could see our four 'prints' hanging in the hallway, or up the stairs. Very cool!
