VJ Suave is a Brazil-based new media art studio led by Ceci Soloaga (Argentina) and Ygor Marotta (Brazil). Since 2009 they produced immersive installations, audiovisual performances, and collaborations that blend animation, projection mapping, and music.
Birds of Northeast Brazil









“Birds of Northeast Brazil” is an immersive installation by VJ Suave. With 360° projections on four walls and the floor, the artists lead the audience on a unique journey through the nuances of Ceará’s nature. This installation showcases the diversity of 29 birds in its different environments, all represented in 2D and 3D animations, transforming into audiovisual narratives that celebrate the unique beauty of these birds in their habitats.
The work was developed at the invitation of Director Silas de Paula to become part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Image and Sound of Ceará.
Projection mapping by VJ Suave, with Glicéria Tupinambá, Ygor Marotta, Ceci Soloaga, Paulo Stoker
Soundtrack by Irû Waves and Bmind.
The piece, created in 2020, was featured at the Amazonia Mapping Festival in Belém do Pará, participating in both the 2023 and 2024 editions.





















At the heart of their work is the Suaveciclo: the audiovisual performance on wheels.
Riding a custom tricycle equipped with a projector and sound system, the artists bring character animations to walls, trees, and streets, transforming the urban landscape into a playground of light and storytelling. Each projection is improvised, shaped by the rhythm of the ride and the reactions of the people around.









An interactive virtual reality experience set within an Enchanted Forest — blending game mechanics with art and storytelling.
Built from hand-drawn, frame-by-frame animation, these short movies unfold across the city, where projected beings manifest in real space — merging the tangible and the imagined.
