L0tus Bl0ss0m
The work L0tus Bl0ss0m is a tale of two people meeting in a subway. One of them, a cleaning lady, seem to suggest similar ideas as the philosopher Jacques Derrida, while the other helps her with the garbage in exchange for hearing her thoughts.
The work was published on Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries' web page in 2002 according to the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, and was converted to video format around or after 2018.

Riviera
Set in the usual monochrome style and with a jazzy soundtrack synonymous with Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries' work, Riviera introduces a new element: division of the screen into four horizontal spaces. In each of these spaces, text flows past—horizontally in the English version of the work, vertically in the Chinese—at different rates, each providing different views of the Hae-Oondae Sea.
The work was published on Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries' web page in 2002, according to the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, and converted to video form around 2018.

All Fall Down
Set in the usual monochrome style of Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries, the work All Fall Down focus on the fact that everybody will fall down eventually, saints, doctors and bums alike. The work has two seperate narrations and it is near impossible to follow both at the same time as the pace in this work is fast. The work is set to a jazzy soundstrack featuring a long drum solo set to the famous groove from Dave Brubeck's Take Five.
The work was published on Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries' web page in 2002 according to the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.

Orient
This poem from circa 2002 contains the same linguistic text— that is, the same sequence of words— as the 2003 “Nippon” but it is a very different work.
“Orient” is set to the tune of “B. Quick” by Sonny Rollins, which makes it last slightly over 9:13. This song is a fast-paced bebop that sets an urgent, desperate, even frantic tone - making your heart race and eyes tear as you try to keep up with an aggressive reading pace. Stick with it and you’ll end up exhausted and bewildered as your brain gets taken through what reads like a stream-of-consciousness narrative about cheerful men who go to a bar and interact with desperately bored women whose job it is to make them feel at ease.

A Party at Silver Beach
Combining words and images in a narrative of love and new beginnings, A Party at Silver Beach situates the reader at a party where visual images of the guests lead to their words. By clicking on graphic images of guests, objects, or views from the windows, you move through the story like a guest at a party -- speaking to some guests, overhearing the conversations of others. As if at a real party, you are invited to either stay for only a short time or to spend a longer time. As at any party, where many of the guests are strangers, you are likely to discover only a few of the mysteries of their lives. Lovers come and go, missing each other, finding each other. And sporadic dark conversations punctuate the generally joyous experience of the celebration.

Shy Boy
Shy Boy is a Flash poem that uses movement, visual images, and sound to deep into the soul and life of one very shy boy. The monochromatic use of black, gray, and white suggest a child who calls no attention to himself and the vanishing text, his own lack of presence among his schoolyard peers.

Blue Hyacinth
Blue Hyacinth is a stir fry text by Jim Andrews and Pauline Masurel. Masurel wrote the texts. Andrews did the programming and invented the stir fry form. The stir fry form consists of n texts. In Blue Hyacinth, there are four texts (n=4), each of which is a different shade of blue. You can view the text of a given color by clicking the square of that color. Each of the four texts somehow involve the blue hyacinth. Each of the four texts is partitioned into 30 parts. When the reader mouses over (or touches, if on a mobile device) part x of text y, that part is replaced with part x of text y+1. So the four texts begin to form a new text. There are several more stir fry texts and essays about them at vispo.com/StirFryTexts.

Ceci n'est pas un Nike
Author's description:
Ceci n'est pas un nike talks about on line creation and its conditions. Its point of departure is the conceptual confusion between interface and surface.
Magritte's pipes are its strongest referencs and it updates the discussion about the differences between image and representation, denying the Web as an adendum of the screen or an epiphenomena of the computer.
The discussion takes place in an image warping program_ the e-nike generator. It stresses the conflict between code and representations allowing transformations in this site icon. You are invited to create and send your own nike to our "no-nike_center" and to destroy some nikes too.
Moreover, I would like to have you adding your layer to the e-palimpsest, intereacting, in real time, with the critical text, using only your browser.
BTW, this is not a nike, but a web site.
So create, destroy and rebuild.
Just do it!(Source: Author's description from the project site)

Joyride
This hypertext poem is based on a set of images of a wrecked car— ostensibly the result of a joyride. Each image focuses on a detail of the crashed (or trashed) vehicle, punctuating the violence of the result with a sound associated with its frame of reference. The words are placed tactically to comment on the image and situation, directing our attention towards aspects of the image they’re arranged on. More importantly, they point at what isn’t in the images, developing an event in our minds. The node displayed in the image above, for example, plays with the positioning and frames of reference of the words “upper” and “downer.” The placement of the words gestures towards the relative positions “up” and “down,” but they also can represent types of drugs: stimulants versus depressants. When juxtaposed with the word “w(hole)” and the image of a shattered windshield with a hole in the middle, the words could also suggest a body flying through that hole (up) to land (down) on the ground we cannot see.
