appesi a una cornice
addenda YOUNG-HAE CHANG HEAVY INDUSTRIES
["How does the music we choose or make influence the ideas?"]
«Well, first of all, there aren't any ideas in our work -- at least
not if we can help it.
O.K., a few slip in here and there, but we're trying our best to avoid them.
CUNNLINGUS is an exception -- but then, we didn't write that piece, the Dear
Leader did. We don't work with ideas. We're not smart enough to do that or
to think that our ideas can interest anyone. We work instead with a few
images that pop up in either of our heads, then we run with them, and in the
wrong direction, unless we make a mistake. Ideas in art are boring, from
what we've seen. Incoherence, confusion, wrongness, accident, stupidity --
especially stupidity -- these are the elements of our work»
«What saves the patient from sure death is the same thing that saves a
painting: the frame, or, in our case, the digital frame, the browser window
and the computer screen. In both cases, the frame makes everything so
convincing.
As for URGENT_REQUEST, well, we're a business.
We're trying, like a lot of people, to make money while we sleep. To make
our investment work for us. Etc...»
