“Portals are an invitation to meet people above borders and differences and to experience our world as it really is—united and one,” said the founder and artist.

The following report is a press release by Flatiron Nomad:

In a special event spanning two continents, today officials in New York City and Dublin, Ireland simultaneously debuted two groundbreaking public technology sculptures—NYC Portal and Dublin Portal—collectively called “The Portal.” Conceived as a testament to the power of art to transcend physical barriers, The Portal forms an unprecedented visual bridge between these two iconic cities. Each sculpture features a 24/7 visual livestream from the Portal in the other city, allowing real-time interaction between New Yorkers, Dubliners, and visitors to these two global destinations. 

NYC Portal is located on the Flatiron South Public Plaza on Broadway, Fifth Avenue, and 23rd Street, next to the famed Flatiron Building, and is presented by the Flatiron NoMad Partnership in collaboration with the Simons Foundation and New York City Department of Transportation Art Program (NYC DOT Art). Today’s launch event in New York featured remarks by NYC Chief Public Realm Officer Ya-Ting Liu, NYC Department of Transportation Art Director Angelik Vizcarrondo-Laboy, and a captivating performance by PMT House of Dance

We are honored to host the Portal’s North American debut on the Flatiron Public Plazas, at one of New York City’s most dynamic intersections. This real-time connection between two iconic public spaces in global cities on either side of the Atlantic will bring people together, both physically and digitally, becoming a captivating attraction for New Yorkers and visitors alike.

said James Mettham, President of the Flatiron NoMad Partnership.

Dublin Portal faces the capital’s main street, O’Connell Street, and captures the iconic vista of both Dublin’s famous GPO building and the Spire together. Dublin City Council have delivered the sculpture as part of its designation as the European Capital of Smart Tourism 2024. The Portal was unveiled today by The Lord Mayor of Dublin, Daithí De Róiste, and included a performance by The Liberties Majorettes in a nod to the New York connection. 

The Portal connection between New York City and Dublin will run through the fall of 2024. Throughout that time, there will be scheduled programming, including cultural performances at each city’s Portal that will be enjoyed by people in the other city via the livestream. Programming will kick-off in mid-May with a visual program to celebrate New York Design Week Festival. 

Portals are an invitation to meet people above borders and differences and to experience our world as it really is—united and one. The livestream provides a window between distant locations, allowing people to meet outside of their social circles and cultures, transcend geographical boundaries, and embrace the beauty of global interconnectedness. 

said Portals founder and artist Benediktas Gylys.

One of my key aims as Lord Mayor is to make the City more inclusive. The Portals project embodies this, bringing together technology, engineering and art to bring communities from across the world closer together and to allow people to meet and connect outside of their social circles and cultures. We are delighted to connect Dublin with New York which we share a deep historical and cultural bond with.

From July the Dublin Portal will also connect to other global city destinations in Poland, Brazil and Lithuania. I would encourage Dubliners and visitors to the City to come and interact with the sculpture and extend an Irish welcome and kindness to cities all over the world. This project is an example of one of the many exciting things to expect in Dublin during 2024 as part of our EU Capital of Smart Tourism Designation.

said The Lord Mayor of Dublin, Daithí de Róiste.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY

Genesis 11:1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.

God confounded man’s language in the days of the tower of babel so that they would not be one. Now the world may be separated but technology is bridging that gap to make the world one again, and this is another example of that; and this technology, and far more advanced things to be deployed in the years to come, will be used of the antichrist to deceive and carry out his messages to the whole world.

Revelation 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. [8] And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.


[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

  • All this is happening right before our eyes, it’s as if some Book told us about such things. Some say it just a book written by man and is flawed and inaccurate, I say that the KJV is alive and is full of truth and it’s God’s words.
    Just read it and see, but only a KJV Bible, all others are from that corrupt Roman Catholic Church.

    We are getting closer to going home to Glory.

    • What’s amazing is that because we believe the words are GOD’s WORDS we are not blinded to the truth like all of these people are. They are walking around with their minds darkened by the god of this world. In their minds they’re saying “This is our world to conquer, we can make it together, what can the Almighty do for us?”

      2 Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

      Ephesians 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

      Genesis 11:6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

      1 Thessalonians 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

  • Isaiah 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

  • Wrong ‘portal’. Wrong door. John 10 KJB. Theirs that matters is still slammed tightly shut against Christ, while swung wide open to antichrist…Laodicea & humanist self-righteousness writ HUGE: “Lord Mayor” indeed! Flattering themselves & the people: ye shall be as gods’.

    Psalm 2 tells us that God thinks about that, & wait til they get a load of what’s going to come through that ‘portal’ as spiritual becomes sight in the terrible time of Jacob’s trouble, Daniel’s 70th week.

    Note also that we’re talking about two Roman Catholic stronghold cities plaguing & cursing both countries. The scholastic state universities are also flashpoints of such antichrist hubris & folly. That the Lord lingers must mean that there are still those there who will hear, yet. Who will challenge this & tell them? ….working around the controlled media & narratives?
