Heather Dewey-Hagborg (born 1982, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is an information artist and bio-hacker.〔 She is most noted for her project ''Stranger Visions'': a series of portraits created from DNA she recovered from discarded items, such as hair, cigarettes and chewing gum while living in Brooklyn, New York.〔 She sequenced the DNA at the Brooklyn open biotechnology laboratory, Genspace.〔〔 From the extracted DNA, she determined gender, ethnicity and other factors and then used face-generating software and a 3D printer to create a 3D portrait. While critical of technology and surveillance, some critics have found her work disturbing.〔〔(Natalie Angley, "Artist creates faces from DNA left in public" ), CNN.com, September 4, 2013.〕 ==Education== Dewey-Hagborg is an information artist whose works explore the intersection between art and science. As a student in the Information Arts program at Bennington College, she participated in computer science classes, which laid the groundwork for the science-based artwork she would later envision using algorithms, electronics, and computer programming.〔 She earned a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree in 2003. Dewey-Hagborg continued refining her work as an artist and computer programmer, studying artificial intelligence,〔 while obtaining a Master of Professional Studies (M.P.S.) in Interactive Telecommunications from New York University (NYU) in 2007. It was here she curated a robotic performance art show called ''Robots on the March!'' in March 2005, and exhibited a piece called ''Lighter than Air: an experiment in constructing an autonomous flying robot''. As a final project at NYU, Dewey-Hagborg explored the question "Can computers be creative?" in an exhibit she called ''Spurious Memories''. The autonomous face categorizing and generating software program she developed for ''Spurious Memories'' interpreted images of faces, made comparisons and adjustments based on that data, and produced unique representations of the human face. After graduating from NYU, she became a doctoral candidate in electronics arts at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.〔 and is expected to graduate in 2016. Dewey-Hagborg has worked as a teaching assistant at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, adjunct professor at NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program, and adjunct professor at NYU's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences.〔〔 As of August 2014, Dewey-Hagborg resides in Chicago, Illinois, teaching art and technology studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.saic.edu/profiles/faculty/heatherdewey-hagborg )〕 As an educator her areas of interest include art and technology, multimedia, digital photography, research-based art and programming, and computer science.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Heather Dewey-Hagborg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
