Giant 'telescope' links London, New York
In all its optical brilliance and brass and wood, there stood the Telectroscope: an 11.2-meter-(37 feet) long by 3.3-meter-(11 feet) tall dream of a device allowing people on one side of the Atlantic to look into its person-size lens and, in real time, see those on the other side via a recently completed tunnel running under the ocean. (Think 19th-century Webcam. Or maybe Victorian-age video phone.)"The whole thing is about seeing what is real and what isn't real and how the world is," said Nicki Webb, a co-founder of Artichoke. "Is it nighttime when we are in daytime, and does it look familiar to us or not?" And all the credit goes to British artist Paul St. George.
The vision of Victorian engineer Alexander Stanhope St. George had finally been realized. Ok I'll agree with statement but COME ON. I've been thinking about having the first telescope from London to my ass.
Maybe one day my son with rummage through my papers and make this dream come true.
What's real is that it's a web cam with no f@%^#$@# sound, how lame is that. What isn't real is a direct line of sight to London. I don't know, i'm a little dissapointed. I was hoping for some kind of trick bending light, beam the dam telescope off a satelight or something.
This is not new; it happens everday only with better picture, sound and sometimes people get naked. With this thing you wait in line for days and get 5 minutes to make funny faces at people you don't know. Oh but wait; The Telectroscope will be on display and open to the public 24 hours a day in London and New York until June 15. Artichoke is arranging requests to synchronize special reunions between friends and family or, the company hopes, maybe even a marriage proposal.
Does this mean a fee is involved. How do you arrange to have everyone in place without having the organisers make a profit.
For
Giant 'telescope' links London, New York stop by my place I hooked up some cups and wire and a Giant long tube in my living room. Where having a blast with London and New York.
