The Telectroscope

[Red Kittie Kat]

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 has finally been completed. 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.

I read about that. But that new one is a piece of installation art, not the real thing. They're using video.

In May-June 2008, artist Paul St George is exhibiting outdoor interactive video installations linking London and New York City in a fanciful simulated "telectroscope". According to the artist's invented back story, the device works using a transatlantic tunnel started by his great-grandfather, Alexander Stanhope St. George.
