We’ve started a new iPhone art project:

“World 9 World” http://www.world9.org

“World 9 World” is a network-based mapping project, that via the World 9 app shows where everyone is jumping around the globe. In World 9, there is no such thing as language or cultural barriers, there is simply the act of jumping. (No personal information will be sent to us via this app.)

We donate a part of all profits made through the online ad to charities. See www.world9.org for more details.

2008.9.24 - Server Down. We are looking into the issue. Sorry for inconvenience.

When we saw the popularity rankings on AppStores around the world, I realized that our World 9 app was popular both in Lebanon(14th) and Israel(24th). Politically and historically speaking, these two countries don’t have the most successful relationship. But on the both side of the border between the two countries, there are people jumping around the street with their iPhones and having fun. There is NO difference between them.

Then, we came up with this rather silly idea of “Jump & Peace”.

If you feel some kind of “unity”, it would be a great success for us.

Can you find anybody jumping around you?
Where are they?
They might be beyond the border.
But where exactly is the border?
Don’t you think you can jump over easily?
