‘Inappropriate’ behaviour shuts down Dublin to New York City portal

That didn’t take long. Less than a week after two public sculptures featuring a livestream between Dublin, Ireland, and New York City in the US debuted, “inappropriate behaviour” 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.

“In New York, we have had a set of protocols in place since the Portal’s launch, including 24/7 on-site security and barriers to prevent people from stepping onto the Portal,” one of the project’s organisers in New York said. While the creators and their partners in both cities work on “additional solutions to limit such behaviour appearing on the livestream,” the New York Portal will also be turned off for a few days.
