We leave traces of ourselves everywhere we go, thanks to DNA. But an artist's new invention that claims to let you erase all evidence of your personal data could change that.
‘Invisible' is a spray from BioGenFutures that claims to delete 99.5% of your DNA from everyday objects. This includes the data you leave behind via your saliva, fingernails and strands of hair.
The spray comes with a mysterious partner product called Replace, which apparently obscures the 0.5% of data remaining, allowing users total anonymity.
The ‘genetic privacy' project is the brainchild of artist and BioGenFutures founder Heather Dewey-Hagborg, who made headlines with her ‘Stranger Visions' 2013 artistic series.
The work saw her recreating realistic 3D portraits of people from DNA samples found on cigarette butts, chewing gum leftovers and hair strands picked up on the streets of New York.
"You wouldn't leave your medical records on the subway for just anyone to read," says Dewey-Hagborg.
"It should be a choice. You should be in control of how you share your information and with whom: be it your e-mail, your phone calls, your SMS messages, and certainly your genes."
The science behind the formula has yet to be revealed, but Invisible kits are set to launch this June for US$99 (RM321.30).
Clorox is cheaper.
Im certain that there will be a certain group of criminals who will be grateful for this product
What happens if you spray it on yourself?
Here are some of her works. There are also photos online of the actual people with their “portraits”.
Makes you wonder if law enforcement is creating a virtual profile from DNA samples at unsolved crime scenes.

“Im certain that there will be a certain group of criminals who will be grateful for this product”
The ultimate criminal in a society is the government... Everyone else is secondary.
And to think I’ve been taking dead liberals and putting them in vats of sulphuric acid all these years.
It’s SPACE AGE TECHNOLOGY, I tell ya!
Actually, spoofed DNA evidence is the way to go, in which a perp swamps his own DNA with PCR-amplified DNA from another possible suspect.
Is Drew Peterson getting any royalties from the product?
Remember the creature in John Carpenters version of “The Thing”?
Where’s my Jetson’s Flying Car!
“And to think I’ve been taking dead liberals and putting them in vats of sulphuric acid all these years.”
I tried that. Doesnt work. Too many questions about buying the acid. I found dungeness crabs off the Washington coast soothe trick. Problem is the occasional hand or foot washes up on shore.
Yeah, harder to convince the local coop what I use it for. I’m working on a plan to get them into an FBI corpse farm.
But then I’m worried I’ll create a Libtard Sementary! <cue music from Psycho)
And I’m pretty sure it’s animal abuse to make the crabs each such disgusting food.

I have found that making them sign up for Obamacare works the best. Not a shred of humanity left afterwards. The minds are wiped blank from the shock and horror.
They just sit in a corner drooling on their selves and peeing on their legs; all while mumbling.
Thanks nickcarraway.

Yup, another foot of yours got away recently.
