Paid a visit to the amazing Telectroscope in Brooklyn this past weekend. The Telectroscope is a very high-concept, Jules Verne-inspired art project by these awesome folks whose very clever premise is as follows:

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.

The idea alone of smiling and waving to random people halfway across the world is so simple and wonderful. Maybe there actually is a secret tunnel…

The Telectroscope will be at the Fulton Ferry Landing in Brooklyn through 6/15. Check it out:
