The mesmerizing works of U Ram Choe spoke to me deeply. His kinetic art sculptures ring the question: what is alive and what is not? The details in his works shows the level of craftsmanship and time that was put into them. His flower chandelier had such an organic look to it. Aesthetically pleasing, organic, but 100% mechanical. His pieces confuse the brain and questions the perception. His works are great examples of art and technology (sculpture and mechanical engineering) coming together. He also talks about working with his group, and that working as a group can produce a much greater outcome. The process of engaging in making one thing with a group, is very important. Now that most artist are interested in creating individual works, it is very special when artists come together to create a single big project. I guess in a way a lot of eye catching and influential arts are made by groups of artists.
