New York – London Visual Link

An extraordinary optical device called a Telectroscope has been installed at both ends which miraculously allows people to see right through the Earth from London to New York and vice versa. Constructed by Paul St George in May 2008 the Telectroscopes in London and New York are open to the public round the clock. Who will you meet on the other side?

    sadly it’s not magic… *wipes a tear* Straight from wikipedia:

    “The telectroscope was the first prototype television system. The term was also used in the 19th century to describe imaginary systems of distant seeing. Most recently, the term has been used for the name of a piece of installation art with a visual high speed broadband[1] link between London and New York City constructed by Paul St George in May 2008.[2]”

    My only question is… who’s going to be the 1st person to inter continentally flash someone? haha
