DNA Art Lets You Decorate Your Walls With Your DNA Essence

dna_onwall2Just like the DNA service from Helys we saw back in October for your iPhone (and actually pointed out by Dave in the comments section of that post) DNA Art is a service that lets you send in a swab of your DNA, which is then analysed and printed onto canvas for you to mount on your wall. If that’s your kind of thing…

There’s a 40% off sale happening at the moment, which means you can get your juices printed for anywhere between $222 and $766. You can also send in up to three people’s (or animals’) DNA to be merged into an horrific hybrid piece of art. There are 57 styles and colours to choose from, so you can probably pick one to match your decor. If that’s your kind of thing…

While part of me is attracted to the sheer scientific geekiness of this as an artistic creation, it seems to me that nobody would actually pay money to do it. Seriously – would you pay money for someone to turn your DNA into a piece of art? Why?

    This DNA art looks very similar to the art created by DNA 11. DNA 11 is the original creator of art from your DNA. They have shipped thousands of pieces worldwide since 2005. Check out their website at http://www.dna11.com.

    You could hang it right next to your digital photo frame which is hanging right next to your Autostereogram which sits above that piece of glass with the 3d image etched inside it.

    Who gets DNA Art? We were pretty surprised ourselves at some of the profiles we’ve been doing. Some people really love their dogs that’s all we can say.

    And judging from the spike in our web traffic from your blog –
    Gizmodo readers are topping the list of interested parties!

  • There is the also the next generation of genetic art called Molecular DNA Art at http://www.dna-images.com

    This enables you to see your DNA at the molecular level showing your DNA helix.
