Transatlantic Communication of a Different Kind

The telectroscope:

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 will finally be completed. Immediately afterwards, an extraordinary optical device called a Telectroscope will be installed at both ends which will miraculously allow people to see right through the Earth from London to New York and vice versa.

lol, and it's not even April 1st!

If the artist didn't have this wacky story about an undersea tunnel, would anyone be even slightly interested? What's so fasinating about a pair of (apparently HD fibre optic) video transceivers? Kudos to the artist for getting his installation noticed, but...
