Dublin to New York City Video Portal Reopens Following Temporary Shutdown

The Portal, a live video installation linking Dublin, Ireland with New York City, reopened after being temporarily shut down due to unruly behavior from visitors. The exhibit, which had attracted tens of thousands of visitors within a week of its unveiling, was closed on Sunday morning but returned later that day without incident. To prevent further disruptions, organizers implemented a proximity-based solution, including additional fencing and spacing decals, to discourage people from stepping on the art sculpture. The Portal reopened with limited hours, operating between 6 a.m. and 4 p.m. in New York City.
