Brief Explanation

During the Lions Rugby Tour of New Zealand teams and fans actually spend more time at the airport travelling between stadiums than they do at the actual stadiums. But there is nothing going on at the airport, no advertising, no support, it doesn’t even feel like part of the tour. So Steinlager, the official sponsor of the All Blacks, bought every sign at the airport and gave them to their rival, Guinness, the official sponsor of the Lions. There was just one catch. They had to fight us for them.

Execution

We had fitted each of the 65 digital screens with a camera and microprocessor and programme them to recognise fans. Fans from either team could then take over the signs and blanket the airport for their team. All they had to do was approach the screen and stand their ground and the screen would change in front of their eyes. Just like a rugby match on the field it was a fight for territory.
