Social media videos have shown people flashing body parts to people on the other side.
Less than a week after two public sculptures featuring a livestream between Dublin, Ireland and New York City debuted, "inappropriate behavior" in real-time interactions between people in the two cities has prompted a temporary shutdown.
"Dublin City Council had hoped to have a solution in place today, but unfortunately the preferred solution, which would have involved blurring, was not satisfactory," the city council said late Tuesday.The city council planned to switch off the live stream at 10 pm local time Tuesday and said that Portals.org expected to be able to turn it on again later this week.People view the live stream between Dublin and New York, in Dublin, Ireland, on May 13.
Organisers in New York also underlined that the inappropriate behaviour has come from "a very small minority" of visitors. In New York, the portal sculpture is located on the Flatiron South Public Plaza at Broadway, Fifth Avenue and 23rd Street.The project's intention, according to Daithí de Róiste, Dublin's Lord Mayor, was to expand global connections.
