DNA science moves from crime world to art world



The New York version of the popular crime drama, CSI:NY, even used a piece of DNA 11 art in a recent episode where a suspect was caught after her DNA portrait was matched to a crime without the need for a warrant. [via reuters]

It seems harder and harder to put one thing in "one" catalogue.
Science and Art, is not total different any more.
Last month, I went to Wellcome collection with Jenny.
I saw a machine collecting people's data such as IRIS, fingerprint, which are very personal and unique, then create a "symbol" to represent people's identity.
These paintings or symbols are generated by computers, are they art?
