The Chorus commercial - our digital art competition in Times Square
" As UFB rolls out, it will change the way New Zealanders communicate and interact with the world, opening the doors to opportunities we can barely yet imagine. - Mark Ratcliffe "
The New Zealand student digital art competition was held over 12 days, and attracted 131 entries from young Kiwi artists and designers. The artwork of our ten finalists and three winners, Hayley Heartbreak, Elspeth Hoskin and Johnson Whitehira, was ’exhibited’ on 34 digital billboards in Times Square, New York on October 10, 2012, during rush hour to achieve maximum exposure.
Our new commercial was filmed during this exhibition. The exhibition was also webcast live, and streamed to design school events held back in New Zealand, in Auckland and Wellington. Thousands of people in 14 countries watched the exhibition online. You can view the full exhibition on www.chorusfibre.co.nz.
