Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries (장영혜중공업) is a Seoul-based Web art group consisting of Marc Voge (U.S.A.) and Young-hae Chang (Korea).
Their work, presented in 17 languages, is characterized by text-based animation composed in Adobe Flash that is highly synchronized to a musical score that is often original and typically jazz.[1][2] In 2000, YHCHI's work was recognized by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art for its contribution to online art. In 2001 the group was awarded a grant from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts Grants to Artists. Their solo show, "Black On White, Gray Ascending", a seven-channel installation, was part of the inaugural opening of the New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York, in 2007.
According to the artists, their piece Dakota "is based on a close reading of Ezra Pound's Cantos I and first part of II."[3] Their pieces are characterized by speed, references to film, concrete poetry, etc. Their work is sometimes called digital literature or net art, but there is no consensus.
