Closing of the Stream Portal between Dublin and New York shortly after Opening
The "virtual bridge" between Dublin and New York closed shortly after the launch due to inappropriate behavior by passers-by. The model who showed the foreigners her breasts said that they deserved this sight.
The Portal, an art installation connecting New York and Dublin, was closed shortly after opening due to inappropriate behavior by passers-by. Details of the incident were published on May 14 in the Daily Star.
Abuse and Incidents
The "Portal", launched on May 8 as part of a project by Lithuanian artist Benediktas Gilis, attracted attention, but caused problems a few hours later. Passers-by began using it for obscene acts, which led to the termination of virtual communication. Dublin announced that they will make changes to the installation.
Examples Of Inappropriate Behavior
Among the recorded incidents:
- A man from Dublin showed his buttocks.
- Someone showed a photo of the September 11 terrorist attack to New Yorkers.
- The OnlyFans model bared her breasts in front of the screen.
American Ava Louise said that Dubliners deserved to see her breasts, and chose the moment when the residents of Dublin were photographed at the "portal". Her boyfriend was distracting the guards.
Statement of the City Council
"Although we cannot control all these actions, we are implementing some technical solutions to solve this problem, and they will be launched within the next 24 hours. We will continue to monitor the situation in the coming days, together with our partners in New York, to make sure that the portals will continue to provide a positive experience for both cities and the world," Dublin City Council said.
