HELLOWORLD PROJECT

Don't forget to send your message to the world, courtesy of the HelloWorld project to be held as of tomorrow in Geneva, Wednesday December 10 until Saturday December 13, during the course of the UN's World Summit on the Information Society.

Messages will be projected almost instantly by a laser beam on mountains and buildings in Mumbai (Marine Drive), Rio de Janeiro (Ipanema Beach), New York (UN building) and lake Geneva's "Jet d'eau"(water fountain).

Message jockeys (editors based at swissinfo) will view the incoming messages in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Hindi, Portuguese, and Spanish and pass them on within seconds to the projectors. Commercial, sexist or racist messages, or those containing personal insults will not be projected. A message archive will store all the sent messages.
