Choe U Ram Mechanical art

Article Tags: Mechanical, Art, Creepy, Facinating, Lights, Movement,

I got to know Chue U Ram with an article I stumbled across over at one of my favourite blogs engadget.com about some wicked piece of machinery (check out their video). In fact, these are kinetic sculptures. See below for a sample of his art:

U-Ram Choe's work engages a fanciful dialog of aesthetics and machinery, and explores themes of biological transformation, flight, and movement. In his recent work, large-scale metal and plastic automata materialize with such a delicacy and weightlessness that it seems to take on the shape and silhouette of an organic life form. Motors, heat and light sensitive materials add to the intricacy of Choe's kinetic sculptures (extract from Wikipedia Entry here).

As Usual, you find more links on the article page.
