Heather Dewey-Hagborg, American born 1982.  Exhibited at the Philadelphia Art Museum in 2020. 

The artist collected discarded chewing-gum and other saliva-covered debris in New York city.  Working with a lab, she gathered DNA and extracted data responding to physical traits.   She used this to generate portraits. 

These portraits have a ‘family resemblance’ but cannot be exact.  The artist wonders if we should not be more skeptical than we often are about the use of such data.

 

 

 

The artist has also evolved a 2-spray cleaning agent – she called it Invisible – which removes 99.5 of all genetic information in or on a given site.  An extreme form of human otherness.
