Telectroscope

[duskbat]

Hardly anyone knows that a secret tunnel runs deep beneath the Atlantic Ocean. In May 2008, more than a century after it was begun, the tunnel will finally be completed. Immediately afterwards, an extraordinary optical device called a Telectroscope will be installed at both ends which will miraculously allow people to see right through the Earth from London to New York and vice versa.

Gosh Dusky, Capt Nemo would be amazed and delighted! LOL Now when Red goes across the pond to head home for a visit, someone can make arrangements to wave at her from New York. Waay Cool!!!

Hugs, Mariposa

Now all they need is a web cam at each end.

Great story. I read the whole website. It doesn't matter how they really do it, it's still a magical story, and is a great read.

From Wikipedia:
From May-June 2008, artist Paul St George will exhibit two outdoor interactive video installations linking London and New York City in a simulated "telectroscope".

Although St George claims that the device works using a transatlantic tunnel started by his great-grandfather, it is actually the product of two high definition cameras connected through a fiberoptic link

This looks really cool, and we'll be in the city this weekend, but the East Village not Brooklyn!
