These 3-D Portraits Were Created Using Only A Person’s DNA
Stranger Visions is an art project which tries to determine what we look like based on a single strand of hair.
How much information about ourselves do we leave behind in public, as we shed saliva, hair, and sweat throughout the day? It’s a question that drives the artwork of Heather Dewey-Hagborg, whose project Stranger Visions reconstructs the faces of the anonymous as 3-D printed sculptures, using genetic detritus found in chewing gum, cigarette butts, and wads of hair around New York City. (via 7 | These 3-D Portraits Were Created Using Only A Person’s DNA | Co.Exist: World changing ideas and innovation)
Just heard Heather talk about this project a few weeks ago. So good. And creepy.

Adam Thompson “Untitled, 8.5” x 11”, pencil on paper, $200
“From the Desk of Adam Thompson,” opens this Friday in Bushwick. Sounds/looks rad. Affordable to boot. I especially love these descriptions of the drawings included in the press release: “…[A]n airplane has no wings, a genie’s lamp dreams of a genie’s lamp, a coffin has a disturbing EKG readout, a page of writing features lines of illegible text-like marks, helium balloons float their way up through doorways in the ceiling, a glob of pills gets stuck on its way down a throat.”](http://24.media.tumblr.com/8c51833fd688dcdbfced63e8b575614d/tumblr_mi1hl6y4yp1ri0rfzo1_r2_500.jpg)
