My boyfriend found a link to an artist, 우람초 (U Ram Choe) , who was inspired by a class he took his junior year of college. Basically, he creates living sculptures that move and seem to come alive. I think it's interesting because he has to create their own memory, just like a computer and that he likes them because he describes them like people; that they move, live, and eventually break down and die.
He reminded me a lot of Jean Tingurly, I remember he almost made machines that didn't do anything in particular. I think he was categorized under abstract industrialism.
I believe his work is very, very beautiful and intricately made. I'm looking forward to hopefully seeing one of his pieces this winter in a gallery in Korea.
Here's the link to the video:
