Artist Uram Choe makes mechanical organisms based on his extraordinary imagination and deeply introspection about the machine civilization. His works which move elaborately as if these have joints and heart look like living creatures. Additionally, the artist gave a scientific name to these, so works asset their meaning of existence. This exhibition contains Choe’s works since early 2000’s until now. You can see his from past works having worries about the machine civilization and moving to now works throwing the fundamental question about the life like mythology and religion. His mechanical organisms make unique world through lights and moves in deeply and secret dark space. The world created by Uram gives us a chance to sink into imagination that is the world may exist somewhere. And then, you can recognize these organisms do not being only our imagination like science and movies, immediately. This is because that you may feel this world presents our lives allegorically and a part of future.
