In this creative work, Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries adopts a new graphical style. Compared to their earlier monochrome works, such as Dakota, the use of buildings and a vertical text box adds a new dimension to the narrative.

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.
from Project MUSE: A prominent strategy in some of the most innovative electronic literature online is the appropriation and adaptation of literary modernism, what I call “digital modernism.” This essay introduces digital modernism by examining a work that exemplifies it: Dakota by Young-hae Chang Heavy Industries. I read this Flash-based work in relation to its literary inspiration: the authors claim that Dakota is “based on a close reading of Ezra Pound's Cantos part I and part II.” The authorial framework claims modernism’s cultural capital for electronic literature and encourages close reading of its text, but the work’s formal presentation of speeding, flashing text challenges such efforts. Reading Dakota as it reads Pound’s first two cantos exposes how modernism serves contemporary, digital literature by providing a model of how to “MAKE IT NEW” by renovating a literary past.
