Decorate With DNA

by Lynn on January 30th, 2008

dna-art.jpgNow there’s a whole new thing to do with DNA. Sure, it can solve crimes, determine paternity, help diagnose illness and a whole range of totally cool things, but did you also know that you can now use as a work of art? Art that’s completely your own?

But perhaps I should have put a little more thought into it: The art studio DNA 11 will take your genetic profile, and, for a small fee, render it as “a breathtaking piece of timeless art.” Basically, they just print the code on a canvas, but they offer a wide range of colors and design choices. Prices begin at $390 for an 18″ x 24″ print, but why not just spring for a 36″ x 54″ for $790?

But the forensic fun doesn’t stop there. This inventive company can also make art out of your fingerprint or your kiss print. Hey, Valentine’s Day is coming up in a few days… ;-)

After all, no one else will have one exactly like yours, or give a gift more personal than this. It’s a great idea and a real conversation starter. I may just order one for my own home!

    They used the DNA wall art in an episode of CSI: NY. I can’t remember the episode name, but it was towards the end of season 3 and had a guy in armour stabbed with a lance.

    I remember seeing it there too, but don’t know the episode either. Does anyone else know which one it was?
