The two cities unveiled the public art installations less than a week ago.
This is why we can’t have nice things. Less than a week after sculptures were unveiled in New York City and Dublin that connected the cities through a livestream, allowing people on either side to interact in real-time, the portals are being temporarily shut down because of “inappropriate behavior.”
The large, circular sculptures feature a screen in the center with a 24/7 live video stream — no audio — between the two cities. The purpose was to encourage global interconnectedness across the Atlantic Ocean. At first, videos shared on social media showed people on either side of “The Portal” waving, smiling and forming hearts with their hands.
