unexplained-events:Stranger VisionsArtist Heather Dewey-Hagborg takes DNA taken from chewed up gum, cigarette buds, and nail clippings she finds in public places(Brooklyn) to reproduce people’s faces.After extracting the DNA from her samples, she focuses on specific genomic regions, sequences them and then enters the data into a computer program, which produces a model of the face of the person who tossed that item onto the ground.She then uses a 3D printer to sculptures of the faces that look very much like death masks.SOURCE -- source link
