Among the many concepts Shields brought to the Merrion Square Innovation Network, was the Identical Foregrounds concept, (below), a proposed installation in Merrion Square Park.

Identical Foregrounds: Shields applied the concept of Identical Foregrounds, to Shared Moments, a project Cathal Curtin, was working on whereby 2 x screens in different public locations are connected for 24 hour access Skype-like communication, at a scale of 1:1. Curtin was tutored by Shields for his thesis in architecture.
