For the 2020 Global Eclipse Gathering in Patagonia Argentina a kinetic steel sculpture of a solar eclipse. This sculpture is to celebrate the great conjunction. We propose an installation of a kinetic sculpture that describes the alignment of the sun, moon, and earth that produces a solar eclipse. It would also serve as a sundial giving it an interactive function of telling the time of day.
