Wet portals are a combination of the feng shui concepts of the reflecting pool and the mirror. The wet portals are basically octogan-shaped pools of water. There are two of them, one in San Jose, one in another city on the Pacific Rim. Like mirrors, they reflect the sky - but they also will display the sky above the pool in the other city. The input of visitors to the portals results in surface turbulence that is experienced by visitors to both portals, resulting in an almost ghostly presence of the real time visits of people on both sides of the portal.
