Have you ever wanted to dig a hole so deep in your backyard that it reached China? Neither have I. But some people have wanted to look inside a giant victorian style telescope and gaze at passersby in the streets of New York and London. Nuts huh? Artist Paul St George has created such a contraption, which he calls a “Telectroscope”. Sadly, its not a real telescope connecting New York and London. Blast! But it is a cool invention which uses streaming broadband video to create such an illiusion. For the price of 1 pound the citizens of both cities can peer into the device. Friends in both cities may use it to say ‘hello’ or even propose marriage!
