Standing on the street you notice an old abandoned wardrobe. Typical for this part of town… but wait, what is that strange glow coming from within?

Originally thought to be a portal to another dimension the art piece formally known as a portal is obviously not what you first thought. It’s alluring waves of ambient color draw you in. Closer. Then closer… soothed by its mesmerizing pulse you are slowly lulled into a false sense of calm. Is it a portal? Is it a human trap set by a visiting intelligence? Is it a collection of light emitting diodes and foam core poster board loving assembled into a form of transcendental meaning? Was it ever even art?
