Dream Waves — skynet art series in Alcochete, Portugal.
On February 20, 2019, “Dream Waves,” part of the Skynet Series by Patrick Shearn and his Poetic Kinetics team, opened to the public in Lisbon Portugal. Spanning 171 meters in length and suspended from 3.5 meters to 15 meters high, the artwork is also the largest of the artist’s series of kinetic sculptures to be exhibited in Europe.
Inspired by Portugal’s rich ongoing and historical connection to the sea, the artwork is the second site-specific installation Shearn has developed for Freeport Lisboa Fashion Outlet. Last fall, the retail complex hosted “School of Breeze,” Shearn’s debut installation on the Iberian Peninsula. These artworks provide an unprecedented experience of originality and contemporary art innovation to visitors.
Patrick Shearn is world-renowned for his striking, larger-than-life, moving sculptures, known as his Skynet Art Series. “ Dream Waves ” is the latest kinetic art installation of this series, designed to evoke the movements of nature, such as the cresting waves of the Atlantic Ocean.
