Das Experiment 6 showcases the work of MVC Biotechnologies, a project by Mejor Vida Corp. The exhibition delves into the complexities of biotechnology, addressing contemporary ecological crises and proposing an environmental ethic based on daily life decisions. It challenges simplified public discourse on biotechnologies by fostering radical perspectives beyond binary 'for' or 'against' models. The presentation includes an intervention on the Secession's website, an exploration of Mejor Vida Corp.'s context and activities, and an installation in the Graphic Cabinet that engages with the Secession's architectural ornamentation to discuss the role of cultivated plants in idealized improvements of living conditions. Founded in 1998 by Mexican artist Minerva Cuevas, Mejor Vida Corp. operates as a long-term project and network under the motto 'Por una Interface humana' (For a Human Interface). The initiative, situated between art and political activism, expresses distrust towards the logistics and functioning of a capitalist economy. Its actions and interventions highlight moments of economic lawlessness rather than proposing alternative models. Operating from an office in Mexico City, Mejor Vida Corp. distributes free products and services globally, launching public space campaigns that question institutionalized capitalist utopias by addressing everyday human needs. Examples include issuing fictional university ID cards for worldwide discounts and providing printable 'bar code stickers' for self-determined pricing, or replacing lottery jackpot winnings with homelessness statistics in a poster campaign.
