Marcello Mercado, Portfolio, Biography, 2023

Marcello Mercado

Born in Argentine in 1963. German citizen. He studied at the Academy of Media Arts Köln, Germany and at the National University of Córdoba, Argentina. He lives and works in Pcia. Roque Sáenz Peña, Chaco, Argentina and in Köln, Germany

Mercado works across new media, bioart, soundart, interactive performances, drawing, painting and post-internet arts. He explores the relationship between technology, cultural biology and art, with a special interest in the interaction between digital and organic materials.

In his works, the line, the dot, the human body, and society are approached as living beings, which illustrate commentaries on the contemporary experience. In vertiginous collages, cellular multiplications and other organic processes, which obey solely their own laws, appear side by side with the seemingly messy amalgam of nuances from a world ruled by confusion and data overload.

Mercado bridges gaps between digital and organic worlds. He investigates the limits of the images.
Based on the fact that all the images are going to be lost, the question would be: Which ones could remain in time and why?

The idea of this installation is to explore the different instances and possibilities of the self-portrait through A.I. and 3D scanners.
Who can I be if I am perceived by machines? Am I alive or am I dead to those artificial intelligences? Is it necessary to make this distinction? It would seem that the text acquired a hysterical character as a producer of images.

The countless beta versions of the self-portrait For three months, I conducted listening sessions on chromosome 17 of the human genome. Some of its fragments were translated into audio by a synthetic voice (A.I.). During the sessions, I randomly scanned my head with various 3D scanner apps on my iPhone.

These captures were unsuccessful because the 3D scanner completed and resolved my head – even textured it – without understanding the contextualization or understanding of what a human head is like. I created images using DELL-E and combined them with those created by the scanners. I virtually walked around with a carved wooden head that was my object of study, like my own head.

I took 3D scans of almost everything around me: Plants, walls, various objects, garbage, keys, laptop, etc. and a final animation in the style of a big primordial scanner soup. Then I corrected the editing of the animation by suppressing text with A.I.
The audio of the installation partially performs a sonic recombination of chromosome 17 with itself through A.I.
