A shocker. Terminal Five, which was recently referred to become the
'coolest art exhibit of the year' has been shut down by the Port
Authority – yes, the same Port Authority that was a sponsor. Seems
there was a bit of vandalism on opening night and the Port decided,
rather late in the game, that the whole thing would be a security risk.
As you can imagine, curator Rachel Ward (who has worked the project for over a year - with no pay) and the artists are distraught. The PA, over the
years, has maintained a fairly unpopular image, which this latest move
will no doubt further burnish. You can help get Terminal Five open
again by calling the PA's perfectly named Ernesto Butcher,
212.435.7887, and urge him to reconsider.

BUT the virtual exhibit not closed:
You can still download Idle Time - Terminal Five's Official Screen Saver, an
original cinematic work by cool as hell (and a good popbytes friend!) net.artist Cathy Davies -
idle-time.org
The screen saver works on both Mac and PC, and can also be seen at the
Terminal Five gift shop (in super cool limted edition styling) once the exhibition reopens. And it will reopen - you heard it here!
