The Sculptural Kinetic Art of Choe U-Ram #ArtTuesday

CPU motors and biomimetic design are the foundation of these kinetc sculptures from Seol-based artist Choe U-Ram. Here’s more from This is Colossal:

With assistance from embedded CPU motors, Seoul-based artist Choe U-Ram…mimics the lithe movements of animals and plants with his mesmerizing kinetic sculptures. The large-scale pieces are often suspended from the ceiling and illuminated by LED lights that cast glimmering reflections on the metallic components.

Included in his most recent works is the frayed, Tyvek-coated sculpture titled “One,” which imitates the lifecycle of a flower as it opens to a bright, full bloom before retreating to a smaller, darker form associated with decay. “Orbis” and “Song of the Sun” conjure more animalistic motions that evoke long fins gliding through the water and flapping wings, respectively, although the latter’s petal-like elements produce shadows that fill the gallery space with silhouettes of thick foliage.
