Telectroscope London-New-York

The telectroscope was the first prototype television system. The term was also used in the 19th century to describe imaginary systems of distant seeing. Most recently, the term has been used for the name of a piece of installation art with a visual link between London and New York City constructed by Paul St George in May 2008. In May-June 2008, artist Paul St George is exhibiting outdoor interactive video installations linking London and New York City in a fanciful simulated "telectroscope".


According to the artist's invented back story, the device works using a transatlantic tunnel started by his great-grandfather, Alexander Stanhope St. George.
