The interactive artwork is back up and running again - but measures have been put in place to to crack down on 'inappropriate behaviour' which led to its temporary shutdown.

A portal which links people in Dublin and New York via a live stream has been reactivated after 'mooning' and other inappropriate behaviour was reported. The artwork had been temporarily shut due to 'inappropriate behaviour' which included people flashing body parts to the camera, swearing and displaying images of 9/11. The portal has now reopened with set times of operation - 6am to 4pm in New York City and 11am to 9pm in Dublin.

In Dublin, 'physical design features' are being put in place to assist with the crowds. The interactive artwork drew the attention of tens of thousands after it opened at the start of the month - and received nearly two billion online hits. But while the majority of people felt a 'sense of joy and connectedness' - solutions were subsequently sought to crack down on the inappropriate behaviour of a small minority of people in front of the portal.
