The next time you’re showing someone around your house and they ask you what that amazing organic-y LED read-out-like canvas is on your wall, you can tell ’em: “That’s my self-portrait; my long-chain polymer of nucleotides; my molecule of heredity; ya know: my DNA — it’s a portrait of my freakin’ DNA!” Such geeky portraiture is made possible by a company called DNA 11. To invert yourself for all the world to see your sequence, you simply spit into a small capsule the company sends after you’ve ordered your image and chosen from a number of display colors and canvas sizes. Prices range from US$390 to $940, depending on canvas size. The one shown here is a split-screen, showing two DNA “fingerprints.” “Honey, I don’t know how to put this, but yours looks disturbingly similar to mine. I think we should hold off on having kids until we have this looked at.”
