Front Square, Trinity College, Dublin (top) and the NYC site at DUMBO
‘Two screens, one located in New York and the other in Dublin create a live audio visual link. Passers by notice the changing image, sound, sky, wind and weather in the linked place and on approach are able to chat to people over there.’
Blimey..

Irish architect Cathal Curtin has launched a unique new project on Kickstarter to digitally connect New York and Dublin. It would allow friends and family (and strangers) to speak, see and interact with each other right from the heart of each city (Trinity’s front square in Dublin and DUMBO in NYC). Anyone who supports it, can have their name, or that of a friend, engraved on the structure in Dublin or NYC.

“a unique new project”
Not unique at all. I’ve seen it done dozens of times in cities around the world – most recently, in Cadiz last year, which was connected, if I recall correctly, with Havana.
Still, though, I quite like it.
That might actually work. Yanks will stop and chat in the evening, right around the time those over here are drunk enough to stop and chat.
I’m talkin’ heeeee
Five large to pledge, ask me bollix
Absolutely brilliant
Kickstarters are won on the slickness of their videos. That video is nowhere near good enough for €200,000.
These are great, although they’ve been around for years. #leverageEdgyLiberals
