"Making consistent volatile ideas by broadcasting bio-information through plants.. "
Videoinstallation by Marcello Mercado: 2008
In 2007 I made a double intervention in the Documenta Kassel: 1) I took red poppies
from the art work of Sanja Ivekovic: "Poppy Field" and I have extracted the DNA from them.
A month later I have disolved the frozen DNA in water where were living water-worms
(Biomphalaria glabrata). I have transmitted through Baby- calls their own genoma.
Das Kapital - Capital
"Das Kapital - Capital"
In this video the industrial age theory meets digital age technology
through arithmetic operations, and mathematical conventions.
The images are related with preconstructed economic models,
vegetables-loops, microbial centrifugal architectures.
The building of economical and bacterial models.

Biorealismus
"Biorealismus"
Performance by Marcello Mercado, 2005
The project was about a long-term bio-art-experiment.
Developing Gödel´s ideas and biological-actions-experiments in Köln´s streets
as a 3-dimensional grid.
Key-words:
Looking for consistency. Arithmetic operations, mathematical conventions
Primordial Hunters
Videoart by Marcello Mercado, 2004
Cape Town, Southafrica, 2004: I can look on the hunters in the distance.
The sun-light, the handler and the dogs. The suppression of distance.
To escape, to copulate to eat. The species classification is dissected.
The strategy of food procurement and food storing. The hunter is in tune
with the prey. Tiny grains of sounds. To disable or to kill.
The victim's heads: Stay tuned! and today the challenging words are :
behavioral, carnivorous, insects, velocity!

Discussing with you some very important scientific newspaper of the day
A Process of Dissemination of scientific Information?
Scientific explanations? A social utility that connects people with important scientific news?
A scientific method of step by step-plan? "Unusual"-she said, OK! something like creak-creak-creak.Scientific breakthroughs, you and me.

RECORD > AGAIN! 40 JAHREVIDEOKUNST.DE – PART 2
Edith Russ Site for Media Art
27 February 2010 – 16 May 2010
RECORD > AGAIN! – 40JAHREVIDEOKUNST.DE – TEIL 2 continues the work of the Part 1 presented in 2006 and focuses particularly on the early days of video art from the late nineteen sixties.
The difficult problematic was initially a purely technical one: While many tapes have survived, there had become impossible to play them. The old machines were lost and the tapes were usually unplayable. For the project RECORD > AGAIN!, a functioning assembly of technical devices for obsolete video systems was established at the ZKM | Laboratory for antiquated video systems. This made it possible to digitalize over fifty different video formats from the mid 60ies to the mid 80ties, thus preserving them for posterity.
Over the course of the work, numerous videos that were considered lost because no one had been able to watch them for over 25 years, became visible. Other were preserved as fragments in various versions and had to be meticulously reconstructed. Several pieces only existed in poor copies and had to be restored and newly digitalized. And some works are now being shown as they were initially conceived approximately 30 years ago.
RECORD > AGAIN! thus presents, decades later, several premieres and numerous repeat performances by and with: Joseph Beuys, Gábor Body, Claus Böhmler, Klaus vom Bruch, Holger Czukay, Lutz Dammbeck, Flatz, Michael Geissler, Jörg Herold, Jochen Hiltmann, Nan Hoover, Wolf Kahlen, Edmund Kuppel, Urs Lüthi, Ernst Mitzka, Michael Morgner, Marcel Odenbach, Klaus Rinke, Ulrike Rosenbach, Dieter Roth, Ulrich Rückriem, Reiner Ruthenbeck, Walter Schröder-Limmer, Telewissen, Ulay, Peter Weibel, Marcello Mercado, Ursula Wevers and others. The material is largely being shown in the exhibition on historical equipment.
The catalog published by Hatje Cantz Verlag encompassing circa 480 pages features texts by Siegfried Zielinski, Ursula Wevers, Peter Weibel, Ute Vorkoeper, Wolfgang Stickel, Klaus Staeck, Rolf Sachsse, Sylvia Martin, Claus Löser, Gregor Jansen, Wilhelm Hein, Wulf Herzogenrath, Walter Grasskamp, Christiane Fricke, René Block and Christoph Blase in addition to an illustrated history of video technology, explanations of present-day conservation practices as well as a comprehensive annotated bibliography.
