HAPPIMESS: THE TALK TALK 快樂混亂：談談
2021
HAPPIMESS: THE TALK TALK is framed as a dialogue between two digital avatars, a Scandinavian woman and an Afro-British man, who ostensibly represent the artist duo making up YOUNG-HAE CHANG HEAVY INDUSTRIES. The work contemplates the very existence of art: what art is, its history, and the notion of being an artist, from individuals who make bad art to those who have quit their practices entirely. Through avatars that do not physically resemble the duo (Young-Hae Chang is Korean and Marc Voge is American), the work considers our preconceptions surrounding culture and race as well as the idea of anonymity, a subject of longstanding interest for both artists.
