(Overview)

The Moscow launch of the new MINI on 19 March 2014, staged by Event Departament as a wild mix of choreography, interactive technology, light, sound and special effects.
Sila Sveta made the centrepiece of the night: a robotic arm seemed to cut holes in the wall, opening bright screens behind it, played with the content and finally welcomed the new car in rock-and-roll style.
Projection mapping on the wall, a robotic arm modelled in 3D to match the projection, a countdown animation and an original score by Monoleak.
