I think the art piece exemplifies actual human behavior. Pulling the piece is censorship to that. Definitely puts it the running for both worst and best art piece of the modern era.

Who cares it was a horrible idea. They should have had a gate ro enter it, and a bodyguard. It should have faced a wall to avoid privacy breaches and recording the street without consent of people in the vicinity. It should in summary have been an art exhibit for tourists and locals alike to enter while being gated and guarded
Putting a useless guardrail doesn’t do anything
Or even better put it inside a museum
People won’t do anything indecent inside a museum

@VolonidPlus ya well that use case turn out great didn’t it. Lmao ur funny. Unregulated access led to indecency and disgusting heinous acts. Which is the logical predicted outcome
Therefore who cares
It was a beyond horrible idea from the get go
Museum or never deploy

Waste of time and money. Distraction. Portals can also be used for demonic activity and bringing entities from another dimension. They know this perfectly well.

Thing is. This is a sign of our times and society. It represents a minority of bad actors sure. But it’s still a part of who we are. Hiding that won’t make it go away
