"Maybe it's the new year that's brought on a bit of a dose of melancholy - near-miss airline bombers, 5-year anniversary of tsunami, crazy gunman and so on - but blip is the place I come to feel positive about all the good people in the world, all the great things they do and all the love they share.

The proposal: on an agreed date as many blippers as possible post exactly the same blip - a shot of themselves standing with arms outstretched, 'holding hands' with each of their global next door neighbours."

New Zealand-based Blipper Twigs suggested this project in the community forums of Edinburgh-based daily photo journal website Blipfoto.

Inspace will be the hub for this global gathering, with custom software deploying the photographs around the gallery, and then projected out throughout the night.
