Heather Dewey-Hagborg is an information artist who collects DNA samples from discarded objects found on the street such as hair, nails, cigarette butts and chewing gum. She then takes the samples to a DIY biology lab where she extracts the DNA and sequences the results. The sequence is then fed into a custom-built computer program that spits out a 3D model of a face which she then prints.

It'd be good to show a comparison to the real people and see how accurate the results were.

I dont think it is real. DNA could provide age, race and sex. The rest would take a clone to produce a the face.

Hahaha, this is ridiculous. Do you even know the price of DNA testing? "Information artist", this is all bunch of crap.
