U-Ram Choe: New Urban Species is on view at the Frist Center through May 16, 2010.
Korean artist U-Ram Choes kinetic sculptures are made of delicately curved sections of wrought metal, joined together in movable parts that are driven by motors to expand, contract, or otherwise suggest the autonomic motions of such primitive life forms as plants and single-celled aquatic creatures. The intricate workmanship and graceful movements of these mechanical sculptures offer viewers an unparalleled visual delight.
I stared at this for hours between lectures.

They look great in this video, but it is only a two-dimensional moving image - these works are three-dimensional moving forms. In the gallery (in particular the John Curtin Gallery at the moment), they have to be seen in person to be truly believed.

His art is an imitation of life, maybe Pandora's life...

I went to the exhibition at the Frist and Choes artworks are almost silent.
