In this talk Daryl Hutchings and Nicolas Klaus talk about The Portal Unity Network, a global community aiming to build the largest artwork in the world to unite humanity.
Each Portal is an 11-ton 10ft tall circular art sculpture that connects live video 24/7/365 between cities worldwide. The first two Portal's were installed in Lithuania and Poland in 2021 and the next two will be installed in two major yet-to-be-announced cities in North America and Asia in December 2022 These sculptures promote unity across physical boundaries and are designed to connect and unite humanity.
The question the speakers pose is, should Bristol install a Portal and join the global network?
