YOUNG-HAE CHANG HEAVY INDUSTRIES 張英海重工業

established 1997, South Korea
active Seoul
YOUNG-HAE CHANG HEAVY INDUSTRIES (established South Korea, 1999) combines their own texts with mostly self-composed jazz music into rather simple Flash animations. Avoiding the complications of interactivity, graphics, illustrations, banners, or even colours, these pieces tell stories about everyday life, personal relationships, politics, and the art world. Their funny, witty, sometimes provocative texts formulate a new kind of poetry for the twenty-first century.
Works by YOUNG-HAE CHANG HEAVY INDUSTRIES include Animation, Video Installation, Digital, Video, Print and Book/Periodical.

There are 522 objects by YOUNG-HAE CHANG HEAVY INDUSTRIES from the M+ Collection available online.

Each depicts scenes rendered in a 1980’s style video game aesthetic showing people in space suits firing futuristic weapons at one another. A CCCP satellite with a hammer and sickle is visible in the background, as are US spaceships which also feature modules made out of Cola-Cola cans.
