"Telectroscope", pretty cool idea.

A New York policeman stands in front with a message. A man at the other end writes something down.

"How's the band?"

"I'm with the NYPD, not the group The Police," the copper writes back.

English sarcasm clearly does not work down a tunnel.

:D

It's a pretty neat idea, yes, but wouldn't a couple of webcams and large monitors do pretty much the same?

That's the weird thing though. As soon as it's presented as "art" people find it completely amazing. It's almost as if people take the internet so much for granted that they don't understand how amazing the technology really is. It takes someone with a webcam dressed up as a subterranean telescope to make people stop and think about it.

Very weird, but very cool.:cool:
 
It's called art so that people feel that they can touch it and use it. If it were called IT or technology, many people would feel alienated and would be afraid to go anywhere near it. When it comes down to it, it's just a bit of fun and the connection is definately clearer than his earlier attempt with 2 catering size cans and a long pice of rope.
 
Actually thought they dug a tunnel :D

Cool idea !

Need one here in Manc though
