A mysterious portal opened in New York City, causing a stir among residents. The portal, which appeared in the middle of Times Square, emitted a strange, otherworldly light and seemed to defy the laws of physics. The portal sparked curiosity in city residents. What is it?
According to IFLScience.com, “The Portal, which stands almost 3.6 meters (12 feet) tall, features a large screen and a camera that’s live-linked to similar structures in other cities, creating an immersive “window” where people in each location can see and interact with each other in real time.
Its livestream currently flickers between different cities – including Vilnius in Lithuania, Lublin in Poland, and Dublin in Ireland – every three minutes. The creator is hoping to link some new locations, including Piauí in Brazil, in the near future too.
The project is the brainchild of Lithuanian artist Benediktas Gylys who hopes his work will encourage people to view the world as a ‘united planet.’ His ultimate aim is to create a global network of portals in what he’s dubbed the ‘world’s largest artwork.'”
