In 2005, 'The Gates' transformed Central Park with vibrant orange flags, attracting over 4 million visitors and creating a $254 million economic impact. To celebrate this iconic artwork by Christo and Jeanne-Claude, a new augmented reality experience has been launched via the Bloomberg Connects app, allowing users to virtually walk through The Gates from February 12 to March 23. The app includes stations for users to recalibrate their experience, enhancing engagement with this pivotal moment in New York's art history, which also contributed to the city's post-9/11 recovery.
The Gates was an ambitious public art project that transformed Central Park into an orange wonderland, attracting over 4 million visitors during its short two-week run.
