Marcello Mercado's “Löschen/ DELETE” was honoured with a Honorary Mention at the Prix Ars Electronica 2012, category Interactive Art.
I have created a language to delete, to compact mental texts and graphics, to eliminate unwanted thoughts and make them personal hieroglyphics. The performer is seated in front of the audience and simply starts writing on a laptop connected to a screen and stops when he or she cannot think/delete/write any more.
