A livestream sculpture installation connecting Dublin, Ireland, and New York City has been temporarily shut down because of “inappropriate behavior.”
That didn’t take long. Less than a week after two public sculptures featuring a livestream between Dublin, Ireland, and New York City debuted, “inappropriate behavior” in real-time interactions between people in the two cities has prompted a temporary shutdown. The two sculptures, “The Portals,” are round, lens-like installations with a 24/7 video link to allow residents and visitors in the two cities to interact with each other.
CNN Travel reached out to Portals.org and partners in the project on the New York side but did not immediately receive responses. On the Dublin side, the portal is installed facing the capital city’s main street, O’Connell Street. In New York, the portal sculpture is located on the Flatiron South Public Plaza at Broadway, Fifth Avenue and 23rd Street. The project’s intention, according to Daithí de Róiste, Dublin’s Lord Mayor, was to expand global connections.
