It’s 11am in Dublin and about 30 people on North Earl Street are vigorously waving at a man on an escooter in New York, who stares back at them with a look on his face that suggests he’s not entirely sure what’s going on.
The two cities have just been linked up via a 24-hour live stream as part of the Portals art project. The large circular screen in the middle of the north Dublin street provides a window to the Flatiron South Public Plaza at Broadway (and vice versa) and will remain in place until the autumn.
…
The Irish Times watched for about an hour on Thursday and in that time, viewers on the Dublin side waved at the New Yorkers, blew them kisses and tried to entice them into dance-offs. The New Yorkers repeated the gestures back; one guy in a blue baseball cap also rolled up his sleeve and flexed his bicep for the camera, another man performed cartwheels.
It took at least half an hour before a guy in a flannel top on the New York side gave the middle finger to the Dubliners, who repeated the gesture back at him enthusiastically.

Honestly I’m surprised nobody has been arrested for indecent exposure…
Edit: yet
I’m about 8 hours away right now, so hang tight…
Okay, it’s been 8 hours, where are you??
On a train, somewhere between Montreal and Toronto.
They wouldn’t let me in to US. I told U.S. Customs and Border Protection Officer (CBPO) that I once saw a guy smoke a marijuana cigarette and he wasn’t happy, but then when I told him I knew an incest victim who had an abortion, he barred entry.
Ah, understandable, have a nice day!
Good thing you didn’t tell him you knew any trans people, or he might have detained you indefinitely.
Who’s jurisdiction would that even be under?
Unless you somehow built an enclosure around the “portal” first, probably both
Think they’d forget to set up hotdog detectors
That would be an interesting test of limitations on a system that would automatically censor inappropriate content.
I think these portals are pretty cool, wish there was one in my city.
I feel the novelty of them wears off fairly quickly and then most people just ignore them.
Yeah they should be traveling expositions, move both of them to new cities at the same time, repeat all over the world.
That’s a cool idea.

Did the world learn nothing from He Will Not Divide Us?
Didn’t say anything about the Dubliner showing a picture of the twin towers on 9/11
