A quest for love - RBCN interview with Vj Suave

By Paranoid, Source: A quest for love - VJ Suave - rbcn - Be Creative Now!
How did the idea of working together start, and where do each one of you come from?
Ygor Marotta is from Sao Paulo, Ceci Soloaga from Argentina. We both love music, and with our knowing and willing, since we met we wanted to share our works in the electronic scene. Our needs of painting dancefloors took us to create vjsuave, a better way to bring life to the visual aspect in parties.

Which are the main facts that you'd highlight from working in Buenos Aires and Sao Paolo?
Both are really big cities with strong commercial movements and also some underground scenes too. In Sao Paolo we joined as Vj’s in an art collective and have been vjing every Wednesday since then. We've made some fans, mainly people who enjoy good electronic music and trip with our visuals. This artistic collective (under_line) is made of people who love what they do, without focusing only on commercial stuff. In Argentina there is the same, artists from Malevo Bookings or Igloo Rec are people who really need to express their art, their background, their love.

Tell us about the last project you did for MTV Brazil, Was this previously scripted?
This would have been the script: “From the middle of the dark buildings of Sao Paulo emerges a charismatic character, who is bored of the capitalism way of life and has to confront the entire mess of buildings to get home."
Using the resource of urban projection and traditional animation, vjsuave + Dante Zaballa illuminated the city and imi did the fantastic music. It took us one month to create this video from the script to the final piece, which is already on MTV Brasil.

What are your main influences when creating works, what is your message to the world?
Our major influence is love, translated in moving pictures, love and the infinite. And the key is to express what we are feeling in the moment, it doesn’t matter if it’s turned into a character, or ink splash’s, crayon textures, or the recording of a sunset through an airplane window when travelling. We just try to link all this factors when vjing live, interpreting music through our own personal feelings.

Tell us the story behind Mais Amor Por Favor.
"Más amor, por favor", it’s a message that Ygor wrote on the streets, it was born in 2009. The idea was to catch people’s attention about what they should care the most: love.
It’s a polite request, an appeal in the middle of all the aggression, speed and indifference of a big metropolis. Trying to light a lamp by painting a handwritten basic phrase into the urban jungle, at least to make people smile when reading it, and transmit the message.
Today the message turned into a living organism in Sao Paulo, and is also appearing in other big cities, even outside Brazil.

What do you think about urban interventions nowadays?
The streets are a a platform where a message can be spread for the crowds, lots of people every day watching messages and feeling things. It’s very important, it’s culture and since it’s outside, it is for everyone. it should be in every city.

You're now heading for the first time what are your expectations?
Yea we're doing stuff at The Mapping Fest in Geneve and then at Vj Club in Berlin...We are really excited about showing our feelings, burn some european retinas, have fun and share our love.
Are you planning more tours/ projects for the rest of the year?
Yeah, lots of stuff, I can’t even sleep, but those are still an Illuminati secret.
