About this experience

Funerals with DNA data storage as an artwork

Print your genetic material as an artwork and data store. The possibility of using DNA to store data opens up an extraordinary way to remember someone. Modern processes can incorporate your own genetic material into an artwork or a treasured personal object. The result is a keepsake that brings together science, art and legacy. DNA is the natural storage medium of all life. It contains the blueprint, origins and unique qualities of a person. Innovative technologies can preserve this information permanently and embed it in an individually designed object. If desired, these artworks are produced using modern 3D printing methods, giving them a deeply personal form. The result is a quiet, symbolic gift for future generations: an object that is not merely viewed, but holds profound meaning. Even decades or centuries later, the stored information can be read from the object and remain part of the family's history. This form of funeral is intended to complement the farewell. It is for people who want to leave something lasting beyond their death, not visible in everyday life but permanently preserved as a symbol of identity, remembrance and connection.
