Das Kapital |
| "Marcello Mercado’s Capital is neither a finished
product nor artware. His Capital is a work-in-progress. It will not be
finished until the artist no longer believes in it or when he has given
up its given up on its spirit.. Capital is an enterprise. In the sense
of its purpose as a work, it has to fail constantly. It exists in a process
of permanent re-writing, renewing, self-interpretation. At this level of
excess and longevity, that is only feasible with electronic and digital
machines. The wastage of material would be endless, if Mercado were to
work exclusively in analogue. His factory fits on a table. In the beginning,
he still needed hefty machines from Silicon Graphics, which only the laboratories
of well-endowed institutions could afford. In recent years, he could deploy
and create his bodily economy as that of imagery from off his lap. In this
way, Capital recounts the story of digital image-processing over the last
ten years too, and how an artist has reacted to it. Marx would have said,
with his work Mercado would be expressing the status of the productive
forces quite excellently. The artist would be functioning as a seismograph
for the state of things." Siegfried Zielinski, Marcello Mercado: Das Kapital (Capital) (1999-2009), RECORD > AGAIN! 40jahrevideokunst.de - Teil 2 |

| "Las
diversas tecnologías con las que dialoga el video han variado su
determinismo en el predominio absoluto del computador, en cuanto a las
maneras en que la máquina audiovisual infiere, y predice, los textos
que produce. Tenemos su manifiesto en Das Kapital, de Marcello Mercado,
la obra que marca un punto de inflexión en
la presencia del ordenador como máquina video, reemplazando incluso
cualquier registro proveniente de cualquier aparato de visión. La
obra de Marx es redimida en su esencia por el proceso de datos y los procesos
de una simulación
textual alfabética convertida en pureza matemática en un
discurso audiovisual numérico
sobre el mundo y la economía política." Jorge laFerla, Dispositivos múltiples: video/fotografía/cine/digital, Visionários. Audiovisual en Latinoamérica |
