More global media exposure! Al Jazeera flew down to interview us for Artsworld. This a well produced interesting view into DNA 11. We have many DNA art clients in Dubai, Saudi Arabia and across the middle East.
From the press release:
“The 13 Summer House will take place in the Pines section of Fire Island, which has a long tradition of attracting New York’s elite, especially its influential gay population. The festivities will kick off with a complete renovation of the house, led by The 13 Team. “We look forward to the challenge of taking a classic beach bungalow and redesigning it into a complete luxury lifestyle experience that incorporates each of our design partners’ unique styles, whether its funky, chic, rustic, elegant, traditional or even eco-friendly,” said Mark Addison, Director, Experience Design of EVENTSTYLE.”
DNA 11 made a portrait of Sandra Bernhard’s lips (remember?- she was on the Rosanne Barr show) and it will be auctioned off for charity.
All proceeds from the auction will benefit the Ali Forney Center for homeless Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) youth.
DNA 11 is commited to giving back to worthwhile not for profit organizations and charities through our “giving back” program.
We think the 13 House looks very stylish many thanks for including DNA 11 in this project.

Have you seen seen the viral WII Video on Youtube that’s been viewed nearly 4 Million times? It’s called “Why Every Guy Should Buy their Girlfriend WII fit”. Personally I think it’s a WII commercial cleverly disguised as a viral video but either way it was surprised to see one of our portraits in it.
The media coverage keeps rolling in! On April 11th, 9am EST our DNA art is featured on The Rachael Ray Show“. The Show’s co-host of the segment called “The Dish” (Lara Spencer) loves our concept and shows viewers how they can get their own custom DNA Portrait made.
After placing numerous harassing persuasive phone calls to BBC Click (one of my favorite programs) we finally got featured on their segment called “Webscape: Best of the Web”. Many thanks to Kate Russell for covering us.

The BBC has been great to us. earlier this year we were also featured on James May’s 2oth Century.
I was invited to speak to CNBC a few months ago during their popular Powerlunch TV show to talk about DNA 11 and our recent growth. The interview was live from my second home city- Miami. When we started DNA 11 not too long ago I never imagined that we would appear on CNBC. The response was fantastic. Today the interview was featured on their site along with some other very innovative companies. Check it out the video by following the link below. Our video is the 5th one down…
One of our clients Jason Sutton just had his modern home featured in Seattle Metropolitan Magazine. Jason’s DNA 11 portrait is placed predominantly within the design of the house and serves as a focal point. The house was designed by John DeForest, a Harvard-trained architect. The “Zipper House” design is a direct reflection of Jason’s laidback personality combining modern elegance and simplicity. Click here for the full article and more pictures.
You know you’re becoming part of ‘pop culture’ when you appear on CSI. The producers of CSI: NY contacted us to ask if we wanted to participate in an episode. At first we were a bit concerned how it was going to be used- but we couldn’t say no- we knew it would be a great opportunity to share our idea with the world. In this episode called “What schemes may come” a suspect’s DNA portrait is used to match her DNA to a crime without the need for getting a warrant. This of course could never happenin real life. The images we produce, although generated from our customer’s DNA and completely unique to each individual actually hold no forensically valid data. Also the sequences that we target are not disclosed to anyone outside of our labs. We take mutiple steps to ensure the privacy of our clients. So you don’t need to worry if you’re planning on doing any major crimes. 
It was really cool to work with the producers of CSI and to see our art on CSI:NY. Hopefully we can post a video clip in the next few days.
Yesterday DNA 11 was featured on The Today Show on NBC. The audience was over 4 million viewers. It seems like each week we are getting more and more publicity. Could Oprah be next? Stay tuned….
The best part of this video is when Al Roker says he loves our art.

Last Friday we were invited over to NPRs *New* Manhattan Studio to do a little radio interview. It played on Sunday. Over 3 million listeners. The offices were so new that I was the first person to be interviewed in that particular studio. Construction was actually still going on. As we were leaving we were asked to sign their guest-book- it was really cool. I found Clint Eastwood and Frank Miller’s signature. Frank’s signature is by far the craziest signature I have ever seen. Frank created SIN CITY and was a fellow guest at Semi-Permanent NYC this year. We’re big fans of his work.
