Now in its 9th edition, this exhibition event is sponsored by Hyundai Motor and hosted by the MMCA. Since 2014, it has supported large-scale exhibitions of mid-career Korean artists annually. Artist Choi Woo-ram has been creating intricately designed, lifelike mechanical life forms. The exhibition features 53 works, including 49 new pieces such as installations, sculptures, videos, and drawings.

Choi’s kinetic installation works, where artificial mechanical mechanisms display a complete beauty like living beings, provide an opportunity to contemplate the relationship between nature, humans, and machines. According to the company, the artist has expanded his perspective?previously focused on technological development and human desire?into questions about human existence and the meaning of coexistence.

To realize the works, the artist collaborated with experts from various fields, including the Robotics Lab, an organization within Hyundai Motor Group. The Robotics Lab previously collaborated on a new work featuring Spot, a robot dog equipped with a smart carbon measurement device, as part of a past exhibition event.
