Heather Dewey-Hagborg
Heather Dewey-Hagborg is a New York-based artist known for her provocative work that explores the intersection of art, genetics, and surveillance. In 2012, she gained attention for her project 'Stranger Visions,' which involved creating 3D-printed masks of faces based on DNA collected from public spaces, such as chewing gum and hair. This work challenges the notions of identity and privacy in an age of increasing genetic profiling and surveillance technology. Her later project, 'Radical Love,' focused on the identity of Chelsea Manning, incorporating Manning's DNA to create portraits that provoke discussion about genetics and identity. Dewey-Hagborg's art raises critical questions about how genetic information can define us and the ethical implications of its use in society.
