YOUNG-HAE CHANG HEAVY INDUSTRIES: THE COMPLETE WORKS (YHCHANG.COM/AP2) 張英海重工業：作品全集（YHCHANG.COM/AP2）
1999–ongoing
YOUNG-HAE CHANG HEAVY INDUSTRIES consists of South Korean artist Young-Hae Chang and American artist Marc Voge. The Seoul-based duo have worked collaboratively and online since 1999, and were among the first to use the internet as a platform for artistic experimentation.
Exploring the dynamics of media, technology, and power in our globalised world, YOUNG-HAE CHANG HEAVY INDUSTRIES’ trenchant and witty work maintains a very consistent aesthetic: frenetic text-based animations presented in the Monaco typeface, generally synchronised with original music—often jazz—composed by the artists. These works combine moving image, music, poetry, graphic design, and web design to explore contemporary life from the particular position of South Korea, as well as from a globally fluid and informed viewpoint. They weave together slippery vignettes about everyday life, personal relationships, politics, and the art world, where one never really knows who is telling these stories, or how trustworthy the narrators might be. Anonymity is a defining feature of cyberspace, and the artists embrace this ambiguous position in their work.
THE COMPLETE WORKS (YHCHANG.COM/AP2) contains every work produced by YOUNG-HAE CHANG HEAVY INDUSTRIES, including text-based animations published to their website www.yhchang.com; gallery installations; public artworks; lecture performances; drafts; and alternative and translated versions of artworks.
