The group behind the viral "Portal" art installation in New York City's Flatiron Plaza has relocated the livestreaming sculpture/social experiment to Philadelphia, Portals.org confirmed on Saturday.

Users on social media noticed the mysterious portal, while not yet connected to the others across the world, was placed in Philadelphia's Love Park recently. Photographer HughE Dillon captured the lit-up portal Friday night and posted pictures and video on his Instagram account @PhillyChitChat.

Portals.org says the portal will turn on next week and connect to multiple others around the world via a 24/7 livestream. According to the organization's website, there are established portals in Vilnius, Lithuania; Lublin, Poland; Dublin, Ireland and one coming soon in the state of Piaui, Brazil.
