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?
