New York-Dublin 'Portal' Art Installation Faces Challenges

Artist Benediktas Gylys aims to reconnect the cities while addressing misuse and inappropriate behavior.

The Portal, an art installation linking New York and Dublin, was shut down due to public misuse.
Incidents included nudity, offensive gestures, and inappropriate images, leading to its temporary closure.
Artist Benediktas Gylys hopes to reopen the Portal with improved monitoring and technical solutions.
Gylys emphasizes the project's goal of global interconnectedness despite the setbacks.
Future plans include expanding the Portal network to other cities around the world.
