Word The Cat

Web artists Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries(Young-Hae Chang and Marc Voge) dislike interactive art: “To me it’s a paltry, laughable thing, like getting a kick out of pulling the trigger of a gun: click: bang. I don’t get it. When I click on interactive art, I get the feeling I’m the rat in the Skinner box, except there’s only the miserable reward, not the shock. Art isn’t reward, it’s shock, or something approaching it, something I would call beauty.” These flash pieces are stipped bare. Jazz and accelerated text. “Language is the essence of the Internet, the real gateway to using the Web” and the pieces are available in 8 different European and Asian languages. Can’t get enough of how tight the visuals are to the music. RAIN ON THE SEA: yr eyes are left far behind as the text pours off the screen straight down yr optic nerve. MAW’s rework of Nina Simone soundtracks CUNNILINUS IN NORTH KOREA.
