Most medical images are too obscure (think spleen) or
all too clear (think brain) to appeal as art, but
Ottawa-based DNA 11 has hit on the happy medium: your
genes. The firm extracts DNA from your inner cheek,
copies it, pulls it through an electric field to
separate it into bars and blanks, and photographs the
eerily glowing pattern in a color of your choice.
