The Telectroscope - A Steampunk Web Cam

In reality, the Telectroscope is a giant art project mixing fictional tales of a century of underground drilling under the ocean to create the tunnel and a complex back story of unrealized genius, family ties, and plausible-sounding Victorian-era technology. The giant steampunk-styled fixtures are actually HD webcams that allow people to check out what is happening on the other side of the world, 24/7 in real time. Visitors will be able to stand in front of the giant lenses and stare at, wave to, or flip off a person on the other side of the world via broadband Internet connection.
The Telectroscope opened to the public on May 22 and will be open until June 15. The instillation can be found on the south shore of the Thames River in London near the Tower Bridge, and at the Fulton Ferry Landing under the Brooklyn Bridge. [Source: Tiscali via: CNN]
