The Brief

Art is very important in Vienna. And even more important is Vienna's role in the international art world. To highlight this, the Vienna Tourist Board commissioned us for a special promotion.

Describe how the promotion developed from concept to implementation

For the project 'Long Distance Art' we used state-of-the-art robot systems to recreate works of art in London and Berlin simultaneously and in real time.The hand movements of the artist drawing in Vienna were captured by sensors and sent to the high-performance industrial robots in London and Berlin via satellite. The event was broadcasted on TV and streamed on the internet in real time.

Describe the success of the promotion with both client and consumer including some quantifiable results

Thousands of visitors experienced 'Long Distance Art' live in Vienna, London and Berlin. Our live stream was visited over 6.000 times. There was huge media response: Over 600 reports were published on TV, radio, in print and online in media like BBC, The Metro, Daily Mail, N24, ZDF, 3Sat, Bild, spiegel.de, ORF, etc.

Explain why the method of promotion was most relevant to the product or service

We wanted to emphasize Vienna's importance in the international art world with a special promotion. Furthermore we wanted to promote Vienna as a hot spot for tourists interested in culture and art. The result was amazing: our promotion gained a lot public attention (see results).
