“Portal,” a viral art installation that provides a real-time video link between 23rd Street in Manhattan and Dublin, Ireland, will leave its location near Madison Square Park on Sept. 2. But its creator Benediktas Gylys says he expects to bring it to a new, more permanent home this fall.
The Manhattan and Dublin portals are just two of four stationed around the world, with others in Lublin, Poland, and Vilnius. The NYC-Dublin portal connectionafter the Dublin City Council said in a statement that “inappropriate behaviour” was observed on both sides of the Atlantic. Gylys declined to share details on the cost of running the portals, but said the New York-based Simons Foundation — created in 1994 by hedge fund pioneer Jim Simons, who died in May — covered the cost of building them.
