SEREI@
Multimedia project / Audiovisual performance / Interactive installation / Film
2024–2026
Serei@ is a multimedia body of work exploring transformation through intuition.
The project flows in waves across sound, AI experimentation, performance, film, interactive installation and digital research, continuously evolving across places, mediums and experiences.

THE CONCEPT
In Portuguese, Serei means “I will be”, while Sereia means “siren”. Drawing from Brazilian folklore and the Wild Woman archetype, Serei@ explores voice, instinct, defiance and becoming. The work asks what happens when we trust what cannot be rationalized.
THE JOURNEY
The project has developed through six phases, each translating the same conceptual world into a different medium.
I — SOUND WORLD
Culture Moves Europe · Curiosibot · Valencia, Spain · 2024
Serei@ began as a sound world during a Culture Moves Europe residency with Curiosibot.
I explored AI-based sound tools and workflows while developing a library of synthesizer-based compositions and my own audio explorations, incorporating elements of Brazilian and Latin percussion.

II — PERFORMANCE ART
Linjen13 Festival · Stockholm, Sweden · 2025
Serei@ evolved into an audiovisual
performance exploring body and voice as intuition.
The audience enters an ethereal, submerged world structured as a ritual of transformation: Ritual → Submersion → The Calling → Becoming.
TouchDesigner was used for live visuals and projection mapping, while Ableton supported the live sound performance.

III — CONCEPTUAL FILM
BR IFW + Rio Innovation Week · Brazil · 2025
Serei@: Feminino Submerso
Serei@ became a short conceptual film developed for Brazilian Immersive Fashion Week and Rio Innovation Week 2025.
The film continues the project's exploration of transformation and intuition through world-building, performance, image, and movement.
The title holds the same duality: Serei — I will be / Sereia — siren.
The film follows a journey of becoming, where metamorphosis and instinct awaken the emergence of a wild, untamed self.

IV — INTERACTIVE INSTALLATION
Unmute Residency · Sweden · 2025
How Interoception Shapes Emotional Experience and Intuitive Decision Making
What if our intuition could speak through light?
Serei@ developed into an experiential installation bringing together mythology, technology, and sensory immersion to explore how we feel from the inside.
Interoception becomes a guide: emotions surface as physical signals and are translated into light, sound, and space. Visitors move through an immersive underwater environment where projections, haze, sound and responsive light create an environment that reacts to their presence.
At the end of the journey, they encounter an oracle and a reflection of themselves.

V — AI EXPERIMENTAL RESIDENCY
CloudWalk · Brazil / Remote · 2025–2026
During the CloudWalk Experimental AI Residency, Serei@ became a digital interactive work investigating how sensory data and human presence could be translated into light.
I explored systems for capturing depth, gesture, movement, audio, breath and heartbeat, experimenting with ways to transform these signals into responsive visual environments.
The research eventually led to a digital sensory portal: a virtual environment where breath and heartbeat could influence light and movement.
