Mercedes 666 is an online + irl avatar developed by the Artist that embodies Her work as Erotic Labourer through the pixelation + monetisation of her human flesh.
Her body as her medium + online space as Her primary tool, Mercedes investigates the experimental modes of ‘self’ enabled by contemporary technology.
interested in what it means to be human in the now, Mercedes researches the impacts of the industrial revolution; colonialism; patriarchy; capitalism; neoliberalism; globalisation and technology on our primal human instincts:
what happens when we surrender to our surroundings?
how harmful is it to play into the perceptions projected onto us?
how does the monetisation of desire and the body effect our psyche?
what does it mean to be both slave and master to the ‘I’?
how sustainable is it when we become the ‘product’ - traded, shared and exploited?
