It is flabbergasting to see people reveal clandestined truth from a modicum substance such as GUM

We have always read in the newspapers and watched on the television the discovery of hybrid creatures,robots and various other astonishing discoveries and acknowledgments but probably this is the first time the we would be experiencing the sculptures of our known people which been adroitly designed by none other than HEATHER DEWEY-HAGBORG  and that too with the help of the DNA gathered from chewed gums.
Amusing and interesting as it sounds this discovery was made 2 years ago that caused a stir in both the art and biosecurity worlds when she displayed busts of people she'd never met,She determined the facial features for her "STRANGER VISIONS" show using DNA found in the streets and subways of new york city."we are shedding our biological information all the time without knowing it."Dewey-Hagborg says."I think anonymity should be a choice."she devised her next project with that thought of mind.The pair of perfume like sprays she invented,called Invisible,Obscure DNA traces so no one can follow your genetic trail.




              STRANGER VISIONS
Discarded cigarette butts,gum,and hair provided Dewey-Hagborg with DNA,which she testted for genetic variations that reveal a person 's gander,ethnicity,eye colour,and facial structure.Software she designed used that data to build model faces,subsequently 3-D printed in plastic.Some of these portraits are shown above in the gallery.

                                                                INVISIBLE
Dewey-Hagborg 's genetic-invisibility spray comes in two sleek bottles that work in tandem."Erase"contains a solvent,such as ethanol,that destroys 99.5 percent of DNA left on a surface.
"Replace"masks the remaining 0.5 percent with a blend of DNA from 50 different sources.

Amused like all of you reading this short but unusual discovery has made me realize the true potential we people have indebted inside ourselves it s just a matter of a spark that can help us discover and create arcane substances and various other discoveries,It is just a matter of hard-work and probably the enthusiasm that will lead us to what we desire just like Heather was able to achieve.
