Public lifestyle has been changed as conditions of the modern society such as severer competition, more information, intellectual development, and economic achievements become distinct. People tend to pursue spiritual values such as their own lives and themselves rather than material ones. The urge for life inspiring experiences increases demand in cultural and artistic activities. On the other hand companies have hard time to take a lead of others solely by improving technology and information gathering. They are trying to find a solution, adopting a consumer-centric management tool beyond commodity-based system, and think of what consumers want and follow. Therefore companies have found out the art is a solution, and started collaborating.
Art Collaboration which has appeared in a fabric industry since 2003 extends over advertisement and space as well as commodities. High Brands mostly use merchandising and VMD in stores. They renew brand image and identity as a cultural and artistic company by applying art into commercial space, in turn, which turns into exhibition space. It shows how capital can work together with art without exploiting it and how the high-end brand can overcome the conventional image that it holds and challenge a variety of new values and chances.
The application of VMD into commercial space makes it possible to produce unrealistic and impressive space and to form a third type of space that provides consumers with comforts and relaxation. Many characteristics the art has can constantly deliver brand identity in VMD environment that temporarily and rapidly changes and seek for an effect that satisfies both business and artistic value. The space and goods that employ aesthetic sense raise their value as artistic works, in which customers can enjoy comfortable and emotional shopping and experience the brand through many artistic events. It appeals to customers’ emotion followed by cognition effects, which draws out emotional reactions. Satisfied with emotional experience customers are more likely to recognize the brand and visit the shop again and, in the end, it ends up increasing revenues
VMD with art collaboration will make commercial places more attractive and more emotional to people living in modern society who want to think of their life as an art.
