Duo artists Ygor Marotta and Ceci Soloaga, of VJ Suave, decided to create 2 tricycles adapted with a projectors, batteries, a speaker and computer to create projection mapping street animations. In their own words:
They’re used so that the small narratives with characters and poetry can travel open spaces, lighting the walls on a large scale. The projections illuminate walls, trees, lakes, sidewalks and propose a playful interactivity with the public.
With the video manipulated in real time, Suaveciclos bring art to all audiences and create unique moments between the city and the viewer.
In their playful universe, vjsuave deals with current themes with ambience sound accompanying the performance.
The project participated in film and music festivals in countries like Russia, Germany, Luxemburgo and Slovakia. In Brazil they travel to cities like Brasília, Rio de Janeiro, Porto Alegre and São Paulo.
You may remember a similar experience with Michael Fluckiger, turning his bicycle into an Elephant. Next step up….motorcycle with projectors! Any takers?
