The artist Heather Dewey-Hagborg (a real person, you can google her after the exam) collected discarded cigarette butts, chewing gum and fingernails left behind on the sidewalks of New York City. She then extracted DNA, had it analyzed for the presence of certain markers that can inform phenotype (e.g. eye color, skin color, nose size) and used that information to reconstruct 3D portraits of the people that left the original items behind. Do you think this kind of project is problematic? In what way? Explain your arguments whether you see a problem or not. Do you think data collected in such a way could be used as a means of surveillance? Should this then be regulated to avoid abuse?
