The Concept
You don’t need an artistic eye to appreciate the unique beauty and simple intricacies of DNA imaging. The co-founders of DNA 11 were quick to realize that by adding a color and visually enhancing this scientific data it could be transformed into extraordinary, one-of-a-kind abstract artwork with deep-rooted personal significance.
It was just a matter of finding the best method of capturing these complex biological images. After several months of experimenting with various ways of presenting unique DNA fingerprints; they finally discovered the process that best displays the organic beauty of our DNA.
Excited over their discovery and eager to explore the possibilities, the co-founders were soon collecting their own DNA and creating sample artwork. Friends, family and just about everyone that saw the samples were overwhelmingly impressed, and were quick to request pieces of their own, and so began DNA 11.
The popularity of their DNA Portraits™ led DNA 11 to look at what other natural artistic expressions the human body had to offer, and there is no more iconic identity of individualism than fingerprints. By blowing-up a section of one’s fingerprint, with or without the addition of color, an absolutely mesmerizing art piece was born—FingerPrints™.
DNA 11 strives to create the world’s most personalized and customized art made by the customer for the customer. Art has always been extremely personal, and DNA 11 has made this even truer.
The Art
DNA 11 creates unique, personalized art from DNA. Using a simple method of collection, as easy as wiping the inside of your mouth with a swab, the company harvests a sample of your DNA to capture the genetic fingerprint and transform it into an artistic representation of a person's life code. A DNA Portrait is the ultimate conversation piece in any home, office or gallery.
ABSOLUT VODKA was so impressed when they were introduced to the art, that they commissioned a piece featuring the DNA of several fruits used in ABSOLUT products. This piece, unveiled at the DNA 11 official art launch, is the company's first commissioned art for a commercial client and truly showcases the uniqueness of the artwork.
