DNA Art by DNA 11

Art has always been a highly personal and individual medium, but DNA 11 takes it to a whole new level. Combining genetic science with digital technology, this innovative company offers the chance to capture, frame and display your own DNA as an eye-catching piece of contemporary art. Here’s how it works: first you choose your artwork's color, size and frame from an online gallery. Then the company sends a DNA collection kit with instructions—an easy process using a swab—and this is sent off to a top-notch laboratory where your DNA is extracted and run onto a gel (and kept secure for privacy reasons). A perfect digital image is taken from the gel, the DNA sample is destroyed, and the image is digitally enhanced, enlarged, and customized to your specifications. Your genetic code is printed on a high-quality canvas, varnished, framed, numbered with a certificate of authenticity, and dispatched, ready for hanging. The result is a striking and highly individual piece of art that will be a major topic of dinner party conversation, not to mention an unusual family heirloom. You can also order masterpieces created from fingerprints or a "kiss" lip imprint from you or a loved one.

They have offices in North America and the UK (+ 44 (0)20 7084 6362) can ship internationally.
