BIO
Marcelina Wellmer

Born in Poland
Lives and works in Berlin, Germany

Artist Statement:

I’m operating at the edge of video, installation and painting.
My works are dealing with the relation of humans and the interference of information and media, crossing the border from analog to digital and vice versa. I reuse lost and recovered data files and old IT hardware. Besides those random found materials i also use randomness as a key element of creation. Pieces are controlled and displayed through self written software that works with random seeds. Part of my creation is to play with those edges of media and to amplify their very own characteristics. In an erroneous process of encoding and decoding, new perspectives get revealed.

Education:
