The Struggle Continues

"This videopoem is in the signature style of Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries (YHCHI): words synchronized to music filling the screen. No interactivity, no multiple reading paths, no text generation, no bells and whistles, just plain and simple yet compellingly written text set to a captivating musical score. Although the work does not respond to user input, following the comfortingly familiar model of film and television, it simultaneously demands an active engagement, unwavering attention, and embodied interactivity with the screen. The Struggle Continues combines a poetic text about the struggle for sex, love, equality and the freedom to enjoy all of the above combined with dance music composed by the artists. The original version from 2000 configured the text differently and used the afternoon take of Sonny Rollins' 1957 live recording of 'A Night in Tunisia' published in the album A Night at the Village Vanguard (remastered and reissued in 1999). Irreverent and raunchy, this poem set the bar high for YHCHI early in their careers as Web artists and has given them unprecedented success in the field of e-literature.
