Artist 6

The above image is taken from a project called "Bust Down The Doors Again! The Gates of Hell Victoria Version", which was created by Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries. Young-Hae Chang Industries is comprised of two artists, Young-Hae Chang and Marc Voge, who use the Flash program to tell stories set to jazz music. These stories are words that fly across the screen, or merely change position rapidly. Initially it seems that it is a one way experience, but because the words move so fast, the viewer is drawn in, by the mere effort of attempting to read the words. I myself watched the project called "The Struggle Continues" which shouted the idea that we must throw out all inhibitions and just embrace Love in all of its varied and wonderful forms. The expose was presented in simple, black, bold letters, on a plain white background, though sometimes the background was black and the words were white. The way the worods synced with the music was really cool too. This is unlike any of the other "art" that I have explored through this site, but I think I would actually consider this to be art. It is definitely inspiring, and encourages the viewer to come away from there. In terms of the tangible manifestation of a creative force working uniquely through the individual, I think these projects are definitely thr result of an inspiration, to reject the vices they find in the world around them, and encourage other to join them. And this inspiration manifests itself in visual and sonic projects that I would like to call art.
