Sun Cycle — skynet art series in Beijing, China.
A KINETIC ART SCULPTURE
“Sun Cycle,” the latest Skynet artwork by Patrick Shearn and his Poetic Kinetics team. This kinetic sculpture opened to the public in Beijing in April 2019. The artwork spanned approximately 5500 sqft / 511 sqm. It rose and fell in a constant dance from 6 meters off the ground to 18 meters high.
Inspired by the perpetual grace of the recurring rhythms of nature, Shearn developed this site-specific artwork for WF Central. Sun Cycle provides an unprecedented experience of originality and contemporary art innovation.
Patrick Shearn is world-renowned for his striking, larger-than-life, kinetic sculptures, known as the Skynet Series. “Sun Cycle” is the first kinetic art installation of this series to be displayed in China. For this work, the artist designed a surface that illustrates a sun simultaneously rising and setting.
