‘Portals,’ Connects New Yorkers and Dubliners #ArtTuesday

For a brief moment Dublin and NYC were linked via the ‘Portals‘ project. The project is a really cool idea linking the two cities in real time with large circular screens .

Unfortunately, as of today, some folks made poor choices and the portal has been temporarily shut down. Hopefully they find a way to re-open shortly.

While open the Portal was quickly gaining buzz and crowds. More from the Smithsonian:

The newly installed “public technology sculptures”—collectively named “The Portal”—form an “unprecedented visual bridge between these two iconic cities,” according to a statement from the Flatiron NoMad Partnership, which presented the installation in collaboration with the Simons Foundation and New York City Department of Transportation Art Program.
