Traditional portraiture takes new lengths

I was watching a cbc broadcast today and stumbled upon DNA 11, a Canadian-based business, recently established that has began an innovative approach to creating portraiture. On the link attached you can check out what the business is about and what creative works develop from a simple scientific process through collecting fingerprints, cheek cells by cotton swabs and lipstick samples. Kind of Andy Warhol, but see for yourself how art and science have linked bridges into abstracting the idea of identity and portraiture.

Enjoy,

Venessa :)
