Here's a kinetic sculpture using bike chain by Arthur Ganson - Resident Sculptor at MIT
I really like his stuff, he does all sorts of amazing kinetic sculptures - I don't know how well his work relates with other contemporary art (though probably a lot more easily than Sharmanka)- he's a bit of an odd one. But I have to say I find his pieces fun, entertaining, thought provoking and probably more emotional than anything else mechanical I've ever seen. He's very popular - albeit probably more in science circles than the art world.
There's a fascinating presentation by him on Ted.com where he talks about his work
(though not the bike-chain piece unfortunately)
The guy is obviously a mechanical genius - my head hurts trying to understand how he can come up with this stuff..
