Authorities temporarily shut down a room-sized art installation Downtown on Sunday night because three visitors reported having seizures inside since it opened Friday.
An 18-year-old woman was the latest to experience seizurelike symptoms Sunday afternoon inside the installation on Liberty Avenue, titled Zee, by Austrian artist Kurt Hentschlager. The woman was treated at the scene and released.
Hentschlager could not be reached.
District EMS Chief Paul Sabol said it was the third seizure reported at the gallery since the installation opened Friday.
Before entering, patrons must sign a waiver that describes the exhibit as intense stroboscopic light in combination with thick artificial fog, resulting in a loss of spatial orientation. The waiver says that the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust and the artist can't be held responsible for any injuries.
It warns visitors that anyone with a personal or family history of photosensitive epilepsy should not go inside, nor should patrons with breathing problems, heart problems, migraines, claustrophobia or anxiety. It says the fog isn't harmful, even at high levels of exposure.

As a native Pittsburgher I can tell you this a common reaction whenever we’re exposed to culture. Culture is just not something we do.
Whoa, colors, and for some, a bit of foaming at the mouth.
“Art?”
As i’ve said before,
“Art today, can be a booger with a hair in it!”
I knew that big rubber duckie was no dang good!

Republicans should do the same on the upcoming immigration amnesty bill.

Everybody except Marco Rubio knows there are at least twice or more than that number. Call their bluff.
