"The Portal" art installation connecting NYC to Dublin, Ireland has been shut down. Here's why. New York-- "The Portal" art installation in New York City has been temporarily shut down. The sculpture, located at a plaza next to the Flatiron Building, is identical to one located on the streets of Dublin, Ireland. The installations allow New Yorkers and people in Dublin to see and connect with each other in real time through a livestream video feed. The New York installation was unveiled on May 8 and attracted tens of thousands of visitors in its first week. Why is "The Portal" shut down in New York City? Since "The Portal" opened, some videos have gone viral of people flashing the screen and holding up disturbing images, with culprits in both New York and Dublin. In a statement Tuesday, a spokesperson for the Flatiron NoMad Partnership said, "Instances of inappropriate behavior have come from a very small minority of Portal visitors and have been amplified on social media." The spokesperson said the bad behavior has occurred despite the New York installation having 24/7 on-site security and barriers in place since its launch. As a result, "The Portal" was turned off at 5 p.m. Tuesday. More at: cbsnews.com
