Airfish.

The worldwide first EAP propelled airship was made at Empa in collaboration with aeroix GmbH and the Technical University of Berlin. This lighter-than-air vehicle with 8 m in length consists of a slightly pressurized Helium filled body of a biologically inspired form with Dielectric Elastomer (DE) actuators acting as muscles and deforming the body and tail fin in a fish-like manner.

I wonder if the Blimp's surface could be transformed for interactive ads....I'm sure someone is working on this now!
You can learn more about it at their website (www.empa.ch/airship) or on Hizook.com
