Liquid Shard

Liquid Shard was a temporary 2016 public art installation by Patrick Shearn of Poetic Kinetics.[1][2] The temporary installation was on display in Pershing Square in Los Angeles, California from July 28 through August 11, 2016.[3][4] Shearn came up with the proposal after being approached by the Los Angeles Recreation and Parks Department and Now Art LA to create a public art installation for Pershing Square.[5]

The temporary installation consisted of holographic mylar strips arranged in a long ribbon-like canopy that was 15,000 ft²[5] (1,400 m²) in surface area. It was designed to move with the wind and weather conditions.[6][7]

Architectural Digest commented upon the work, calling it a "mesmerizing kinetic sculpture comprising hundreds of silver streamers" that would "[leave] passersby feeling as if they’re strolling beneath the sea’s rolling waves".[8] Los Angeles Magazine also remarked on the installation, which they felt "[brought] a little delight to an urban eyesore".[9]
