-VOYAGEO consists of projections of satellite pictures on to the human body. These pictures are not about act photography, but about the recognition of earth and the human body. Mankind has a high selfconfidence about itself and its reign on earth but still is not really selfaware.

+===The Concept===
+We created a Website ([http://www.voyageo.de voyageo.de]) that acts as "Advent Calendar", so that every day from the 1st of December until the 24th of December visitors could discover one picture there.
+We made two photo-sessions with the projection of satellite images on human bodies & shot a lot of beautiful photos. After having selected 24 different themes, we completed the photos with written texts about geographical, historical, political or even individual information & published one a day.
+It was our aim to take the visitors on a 24-day-long journey.
+Our marketing for the website went into different directions:
+. We included Google-Analytics. So we had a detailled overview over the daily reception of [http://www.voyageo.de voyageo.de].
+. We used our private (Email-) Network in order to spread the information about the online "Advent Calendar".
+. We posted [http://www.voyageo.de voyageo.de] in different topic-related forums of photography or geographics.
+. The "Advent Calnedar" itself is a publishing format used to catch for recurrent attention. We thought the interest in our topic will be higher if people are curious to discover something everyday.
 Our project was successfully running in December 2009 on [http://www.voyageo.de www.voyageo.de]!
