Who’d have thought BoredApe NFTs would be such an actual eyesore?

This was referring to a different event at a different venue. While it seems likely that they made the same mistake, it's best we wait for more info before jumping to conclusions.

Similar symptoms, which include sunburn and waking up to severe, burning eye pain, were reported in 2017 by partygoers who attended a Hypebeast event at The Landmark commercial complex also in Hong Kong, with the event’s DJ later discovering lighting used mainly for disinfection purposes had been installed at the venue. The Landmark venue did not feature on the ApeFest event plan, and the two incidents appear unrelated.
