so, stumbled on this from the most unlikely of sources, but here it is:

www.yhchang.com

...unbelievable collection of peices, dealing with many facets of a woman, living in a seemingly hyper-western universe boardered on one of the last refuges of anti-westernism.

it deals with so so many issues (one of the most prevolent and poignant being sex, this isn't explicit, but wouldn't recommend it for kids... aw heck, they wouldn't wanna watch ti anyways), and is so refreshing... i just have to share.

please, watch, vote, enjoy, i hope.

wrong forum. please move this to the polls section;)

...couldn't anyways. gimme more power :p ... someone just delete the poll, i want it in here.

dammit, stay on topic Chuck!! ;)

im lost, but watever

alright, then i'll make a suggested viewing list for those of the short-attentioned pursuasion.

1. a nice intro, and tongue-in-cheek funny:
ARTIST'S STATEMENT N0. 45,730,944: THE PERFECT ARTISTIC WEB SITE (http://www.yhchang.com/PERFECT_ARTISTIC_WEB_SITE.html)

sex will get anyone's attention so we'll go with that...

2. CUNNILINGUS IN NORTH KOREA (http://www.yhchang.com/CUNNILINGUS_IN_NORTH_KOREA.html) an interesting view... i'll let it speak for itself

3. SAMSUNG MEANS TO COME (http://www.yhchang.com/SAMSUNG_MEANS_TO_COME.html) ...strikingly poingant, and in my opinion is the best executed peice on the site, and extremely applicable to our north american culture, dealing with this tradeoff between what is "real/authentic" (which she observes in the north) and what she experiences as the fake an calculating in "her" (not really sure if this "true story" is true, or whose story it is, if anyone's specifically) life.



so, give yourself ~20 minutes, watch them all, but if you have epilepsy this is a no-no for sure.

*bump*

yea...

i understand that the term art is used VERY loosely, but that is just terrible. there was really no imagination that went into that. it looks like he just learned flash over the weekend and decided to start by using it to express his opinions.

an essay would've been easier to understand and less nauseating

lame, and im pretty artsy

Great stuff, Flash and an original musical score. He is talented... but how can he play the drums and bass at the same time?? heehee :D Samsung esp.

and again, for the obviously unobservant, this was a woman.

a middle aged, south korean woman, dealing with the connundrum of dissatisfaction in her westernised, commercial, male-centric society, while faced still with their ethnic brothers to the north living an entirely different sort of life... starving, but maybe more fulfilling??

these are issues she addresses. it's not about how well the flash was done, or about the music (which is all classic jazz recorded back in the 1950's and 1960's... "Samsung means to come" was all Duke Ellington stuff, which is why it's so awesome), it's about the message, the meaning.

you don't have to be a fan of the method, but i found this work so interesting as it's extremely similar to spoken word (from the beatnik era, which the music recalls), but in heavily literary form. the entire aproach to the site is bare-bones (as is the animation) because it's minimalist. again, you don't have to be a fan, but don't be so ignorant to slough it off without understanding.

Thanks for giving us option 3 :)

Interesting.

No, really.

Really, yes.

Maybe just silly.

i aim only to please, and give people something actually interesting to talk about... even though there's no talk happening... :confused:

Don't ever let see that crap again!
