Thanks to an artist's tunnel vision, a New Yorker can stand in Brooklyn, wave to someone in London - and see the Brit waving back.

The gizmo, which looks like it dates to Queen Victoria's time, was placed at the Fulton Ferry Landing by the Brooklyn Bridge yesterday - and an identical one was set up across the pond on London's South Bank by the Tower Bridge.

Step up to the person-size lens of the brass-and-wood device and you see a life-size view in real time of whoever is gazing through the lens on the other side.

I don't know anyone in London, but if you do... set up a meeting.

It looks cool, but, isn't it just a big video phone?

Or a transcontinental Paltalk, but it's more about the experience of going there and not knowing (or maybe knowing) who you are going to see and maybe even communicate with.

I guess it is pretty cool, but even cooler will be all the rubes who think it's a telescope. That's what I would go to see, then I could quietly feel superior as I sat withn earshot of the thing.

What about the 6 million strangers I have to ignore on my way down to the bottom of Manhattan to wave at a stranger 2500 miles away..

You're right..Fuck them..All the strangers worth waving at live somewhere else..
