Since his first presentation at the MoMA in 1969, he has been famous for his conceptual works revealing scientific themes and natural forces, such as magnetism. His magnetically levitated sculptures are, for instance, some of his best-known works. His ideas often require him to slip into the role of an inventor and by now Shannon even holds a number of patents. His works have been shown in numerous international exhibitions, including presentations at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Stedeljik Museum in Amsterdam and the Whitney Museum in NY.
