New York City and Dublin portal reopens after briefly shutting down due to lewd acts

NEW YORK (TND) — "The Portal" installation in New York City is back!

The public technological art sculpture linking Dublin to NYC reopened on Sunday after it was temporarily shut downdue to "inappropriate behavior," according to organizers.

Spectators are able to witness, again, a live stream connection between the two exhibits, but only during a set number of hours.

Organizers posted on Flatiron NoMad Partnership's Facebook page that thesculpture will operate daily from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET.

When the art display originally launched on May 8, visitors were able to access the circular screen around the clock.

The return of the sculpture comes after some naughty folks acted inappropriately.

Social media videos showed people, on both sides, flashing body parts to tourists in the other city.

One of those videos was of an OnlyFans model in New York showing her breasts to Dubliners holding up swastikas and displaying images of New York’s Twin Towers burning on 9/11.

The screens, which only broadcast video with no audio, were back up Sunday.

Organizers hope visitors can resume the experience that connects people to other communities.

"Come by and wave hi to folks from across the pond," read the recent post.

Zac Roy, a spokesperson for the Flatiron NoMad Partnership, a local Manhattan business group, told the Associated Press that the “overwhelming majority” of people interacting with the city’s portal have behaved appropriately. Roy said there’s been around-the-clock security and barriers in place at the New York location since the exhibit launched.
