At the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge in New York, people are communicating directly with people on London's South Bank.

The two 'Telectroscopes' are the creation of artist, Paul St George using a fibre optic link up between the two cities.

My hometown had one of these in the late eighties. Except it wasn't a telectroscope, but several holes. And it wasn't across the atlantic, but through the wall in the showers of the local gym.

So basically they set up an audioless, public webcam between New York and London? I don't get the hoopla.

Considering how many people I talk to on a daily basis that are amazed they can have custom made ringtones for their cell phones, I can understand the fascination with these art projects.

Wait til they learn about skype and realize they can do the same thing at home.

This is a "tele"ectroscope, not a "micro"ectroscope.

I'm sure all you'll actually see from the other side will resemble the idiots waving behind a reporter giving a news report, minus the reporter.

part of the attraction is the randomness of it, like the photos by the guy with the hidden camera in the 1800's.

...except it wasn't the showers at the local gym, it was a bathroom stall. And it wasn't several holes, but just one?

I know what you're talking about. We've got one of those at the bus-station. Not that I've ever used it...well, one time I put a quarter in. To see if it worked, like.
