I\u2019ve always loved making things, specifically creatures that move. Motion is life, and every life has motion \u2014 slow or fast. When I create something, I try to mimic natural motion and give life to the piece. I want my pieces to inspire people, because without inspiration, life would be too boring!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a class=\"asset-img-link\" href=\"http:\/\/inthefold.autodesk.com\/.a\/6a017c3334c51a970b01a511c1d771970c-pi\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"GoldInsectaLamp_02\" border=\"0\" class=\"asset  asset-image at-xid-6a017c3334c51a970b01a511c1d771970c image-full img-responsive\" src=\"http:\/\/inthefold.autodesk.com\/.a\/6a017c3334c51a970b01a511c1d771970c-800wi\" title=\"GoldInsectaLamp_02\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a class=\"asset-img-link\" href=\"http:\/\/inthefold.autodesk.com\/.a\/6a017c3334c51a970b01a73dcd0586970d-pi\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"UnaLumino_02\" border=\"0\" class=\"asset  asset-image at-xid-6a017c3334c51a970b01a73dcd0586970d image-full img-responsive\" src=\"http:\/\/inthefold.autodesk.com\/.a\/6a017c3334c51a970b01a73dcd0586970d-800wi\" title=\"UnaLumino_02\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Autodesk: How has adopting technology helped your artwork evolve?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Choe:<\/strong> Technology helps and supports things. It helps me show what I need to show, without being overt. The technology in my pieces hides in plain sight, but it doesn\u2019t hinder my process. I need technology to be flexible enough to adapt to the needs of the pieces.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Autodesk: What Autodesk software do you use and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Choe:<\/strong>I primarily use Autodesk Inventor software. I have not seen any other product that gives me the freedom that Inventor does. It would be impossible for me to design movement without it. For example, I can simulate how a certain piece will move in Inventor, whereas in the past I had to physically make the part and test it out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Autodesk: Where do you see yourself 20 years from now?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Choe:<\/strong>In 20 years, I hope to see myself with a little store where students would feel free to stop in and ask me questions about their work. The store would also be the not-so-hidden entrance to a huge warehouse, much like what the Pier 9 workshop looks like. I think of Pier 9 as a blueprint for my future shop. When you step into the Pier 9 workshop, you get this feeling of being limitless, like any idea could be made there.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Autodesk: What does being an <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">artist<\/span> mean to you? [You fill in blank with your occupation.]<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Choe: <\/strong>Being an artist means I try to change the way people view the world. I want to show the audience new things and make them feel something new. After looking at my pieces, I want someone to feel moved and maybe even evolve his or her current way of thinking.<\/p>\n<p>Do you think you have what it takes to be recognized by Autodesk for Inventing the Future?
