Your DNA is Art

Curious art lovers gathered in Ottawa a few days ago to gawk at one-of-a-kind art pieces made with DNA. Ottawa-based DNA 11 creates unique portraits by photographing human and non-human DNA with a special camera and then visually enhancing the photographs with colour and filter effects, resulting in an abstract art piece. This is the first time DNA has been extracted for an art piece, apparently. Fancy getting your own piece commissioned? Off you go then to www.dna11.com... Irish Art
