DNA 11 is a company that will transform a swab of your DNA into a contemporary-looking canvas with an artistic image of your DNA.

How the hell would anyone know if they're actually looking at their own DNA? Christ, that could just be the product of some complex PS action!
Bit naff, imho.

Maybe I will get one for me, and one for my Dad for father's day.... and see if they match..
..hmmm
- better hope they don't otherwise i'm afraid you are a genetic clone of your father nicnicholsset

what about boaby-outline or vag-smear canvases
cant get any more personal that that.the pink canvas above looks pretty cool but the spectrum ones on their site look pants! as does the lips and fingerprint ones

I think they look pretty good, and an interesting concept is better than no concept

I like the fact that you can get a personalized poster based on your own DNA. But what I don't understand is why they choose a representation of the DNA that most are familiar with.
They could have gone all generative on your DNA and let the artwork come alive (!!) thanks to your DNA. But no, they choose to add a magenta background on a color-negative of an image you can google in 2 seconds (ok it will not really be your own, but who can tell?). The only thing I do agree on, which is kinda cool, is what amongthemasses said (in the other thread), where you can hang multiple posters together of blood-relatives..concept yes, execution no

They look cool but not DNA "art". I mean hell everything is a preset. Would be cool if you could send a swab in.

- Looks cheese, cool in theory, but reminds me of a bad 90's high school photo.

There's some cool stuff to come from these guys yet. We're working with them on the next generation of DNA art.
QBN kinda slept on this, they've been around for a while.
- like stated earlier these 2 guys are good people with a solid concept and product.amongthemasses
- Agreed, I've had a meeting with the lads and they're super nice guys who love what they do. It's easy to hate when you didn't come up with the idea.Andrew_D

Yup, been around for some time now, but it's still cool.

Remember Warhol's piss paintings? I like them, I guess that's DNA art, but at least they're fun to make. A mouth swab isn't that fun I don't reckon.

I bet it's like that place in Southpark where they spliced the pig

Ah, let me see, give a private company my DNA sample for them to abuse as much as they want so I can satisfy my vanity by hanging a mildly unique composition on a wall.
- yep ,this sir is your child, remember that painting?Atkinson
- mildly unique? hell each one is different!amongthemasses

So many haters here. Next, they will complain about price.
