현대 콘셉트 팝아트 리얼리즘 아티스트 최철주는 타인의 욕망 예술에 대한 추상적 개념적 접근과 팝아트의 제품디자인 형식 및 언어적 추상 이미지를 결합합니다. 그의 욕망 개념, 즉 개념 추상 미술이 등장하고 형이상학적, 철학적 빛에서 강조되는 언어적 의미 개념과 충돌하는 그림이 인공 조명과 함께 극적인 제품디자인 이미지를 연출합니다. 새로운 욕망의 기표로서 결핍 욕망의 시각화는 결핍 욕망의 시각화 공식을 통해 언어 의미를 리얼리즘 이미지로 시각화합니다. 이것은 결핍 욕망의 시각화 공식 “M_desire = ∑∅∂ / (1 - ∂)” 으로 인간 욕망의 구조를 수학적·철학적·예술적으로 해석하려는 시도입니다. 이 공식은 최철주의 욕망 이론과 개념 추상 미학을 결합하여, 인간 내면의 결핍과 반복 충동을 기계적 언어 의미를 리얼리즘 이미지로 시각화합니다. Choi Chul-joo, a contemporary concept pop art realism artist combines an abstract conceptual approach to the art of desire of others with product design formats and linguistic abstract images of pop art. His concept of desire, or conceptual abstract art, appears and a painting that conflicts with the concept of linguistic meaning emphasized in metaphysical and philosophical light, creates dramatic product design images with artificial lighting. As a new sign of desire, the visualization of deficiency desire visualizes the meaning of language as a realist image through a visualization formula of deficiency desire. This is an attempt to interpret the structure of human desire mathematically, philosophically, and artistically with the visualization formula of deficiency desire "M_desire = ∑∅∂ / (1 - ∂)." This formula combines Louis Choi's theory of desire with conceptual abstract aesthetics, visualizing the human's inner deficiency and repetitive impulse with a realist image. / 현대미술평론가 루이 최철주는 사진 만화 미술 공예 디자인의 미적 가치 과정의 예술성을 검증하고 시각 예술 이론을 통해 작품의 의미에 접근하는 현대미술 개념 디자인 비평가다. 초기 개념미술의 언어적, 철학적 접근 방식을 현대 회화로 변형하여 욕망의 구조를 조형적 이미지로 전환한 최철주. 현대 개념 추상의 정의인 타인의 욕망을 추상적 개념으로 시각화하여 타인의 욕망을 언어적 표현으로 해석하고 작품의 숨겨진 욕망을 현대 회화 언어의 사실주의 이미지로 추상미술의 새로운 개념적 방향으로 읽어냅니다. Contemporary art critic Louis Choi Chul-joo is a contemporary art concept design critic who verifies the artistry of the aesthetic value process of photographic cartoon art and craft design and approaches the meaning of the work through visual art theory. Choi Chul-joo, who transformed the linguistic and philosophical approach of early conceptual art into modern painting, transforming the structure of desire into a formative image. By visualizing the desires of others, the definition of modern conceptual abstraction, the desires of others are interpreted as verbal expressions, and the hidden desires of the works are read in a new conceptual direction of abstract art as realist images of modern painting language.

욕망 구조 디자인 언어 구조란 추상적 욕망 이미지가 욕망 개념의 언어적 의미 구조인 것처럼 여겨지는 시선의 현실상이다. 추상화가 최철주는 현대미술비평과 함께 욕망 개념추상 디자인이라는 개념으로 한 현대미술과 디자인 비평의 미적 가치, 프로세스, 예술성에 접근하고 있다. 그의 비평은 사진, 만화, 미술, 디자인의 예술성이 언어적 문법 구조로 작품의 의미에 접근해 욕망 개념의 현실을 비판하는 시각예술 이론을 가리킨다, 루이 최(Louis Choi)의 욕망 구조 공식 "M_desire = ∑∅∂ / (1 - ∂)"을 실제 조형 구도로서 욕망 이미지에 조형적 실천으로 옮기기 위한 4가지 핵심 조형 원리, 1. ∅ 공백의 핵: ∅의 결핍의 중력 배치, 2. ∂ 미분적 시선 레이어: 파편화된 타자의 시선 구현, 3. ∑ 반복의 증식과 패턴: 욕망의 무한 루프 리듬, 4.

Desire Structure Design Language structure is a realistic image of a gaze in which an abstract image of desire is considered to be the linguistic semantic structure of the concept of desire. Along with contemporary art criticism, abstract painter Choi Chul-joo is approaching the aesthetic value, process, and artistry of contemporary art and design criticism with the concept of desire conceptual abstract design. His criticism refers to the theory of visual art in which the artistry of photography, cartoons, art, and design approaches the meaning of a work with a linguistic grammatical structure and criticizes the reality of the concept of desire. Louis Choi's Desire Structure Formula "M_desire = ∑∅∂ / (1 - ∂)" is a formative composition, four key formative principles to put "M_desire = ∅" into formative practice in the image of desire, 1. The nucleus of a ∅ void: the gravitational arrangement of ∂'s deficiency, 2. ∑ Differential Gaze Layer: the realization of the gaze of the fragmented other, 3. The multiplication and pattern of repetition of ∂: the infinite loop rhythm of desire, 4.

Likewise, it is a review of contemporary abstract art that verifies the aesthetic values, processes, and artistry of photography, cartoons, art, and design, and approaches the meaning of abstraction. / 사용자 인터페이스 구현 디자인은 최철주 박사가 제안한 독창적인 예술 및 디자인 구현 방식으로, 개념 추상과 현실의 관계를 언어적, 상징적 구조 속에서 탐구하는 철학적 접근 방식입니다. 이 이론은 단순한 시각적 표현이 아닌 욕망과 의미의 구조를 반영하는 추상적 개념으로 디자인의 예술적 가치와 의미를 분석하는 개념 추상 미술에서의 디자인을 언어 문법처럼 해석하고 회화의 의미를 분석하는 현실적인 사용자 인터페이스 구현 디자인 이미지로 실제화한다. 사용자 인터페이스 구현 디자인 과정은 디자인을 상징적인 구조로 보고, 추상적 대상을 통해 사실주의 추상화의 개념을 계획하며, 이를 현대 미술 비평과 결합하여 미적 가치와 현실을 추상적 디자인의 틀 안에서 재구성하고 시각화하며, 실제 이미지의 의미를 언어 문법 구조로 해석하여 사용자 인터페이스 구현 디자인의 철학적 깊이를 이론적으로 확장합니다. 따라서 사용자 인터페이스 구현 디자인은 단순한 시각적 아름다움을 넘어 인간의 욕망과 언어 구조 속에서 디자인을 현실로 드러내는 예술적, 디자인적 대상으로서 사용자 인터페이스 구현 디자인의 철학적, 기호학적 이미지에 접근한다. User interface implementation design is a philosophical approach that explores the relationship between conceptual abstraction and reality in a linguistic and symbolic structure, with the original art and design implementation method proposed by Dr. Choi Chul-joo. This theory is not just a visual expression‎, but an abstract concept that reflects the structure of desire and meaning. It realizes design in abstract art that analyzes the artistic value and meaning of design like language grammar and a realistic user interface implementation design image that analyzes the meaning of painting. The user interface implementation design process sees design as a symbolic structure, plans the concept of realist abstraction through abstract objects, combines it with contemporary art criticism to reconstruct and visualize aesthetic values and reality within the framework of abstract design, and theoretically extend the philosophical depth of user interface implementation design by interpreting the meaning of real images into linguistic grammatical structures. Therefore, user interface implementation design approaches the philosophical and semiotic image of user interface implementation design as an artistic and design object that reveals design to reality in human desires and language structures beyond simple visual beauty.

Concept Abstract Reality Art scholar Louis Choi Chul-joo criticizes the story of conceptual events and actions as a conceptual abstract reality theory that approaches the meaning of works of art in conceptual abstract art theory by visualizing the abstract needs of modern concepts in a linguistic sense through visual arts and verifying the aesthetic values, processes, and conceptual abstract reality of photography, cartoons, art, and craft design. This is a conceptual abstract reality theory that examines the aesthetic value and design of user interface implementation design through abstract design process and conceptual abstract realism design methodology by Dr. Choi Chul-joo of Culture Design. The user interface implementation design is reviewed through conceptual abstract reality that analyzes the abstract meaning of desire.

User Interface Implementation A realistic design image emerges at the attractive intersection between the theory of desire and visual art by designer Louis Choi Cheol-joo. Based on his theory of desire and the framework of abstract realism, he designs a user interface implemented with a design concept with an unrealistic form of light and traces of reversible shades based on the desires of others. User interface implementation design is art and design that explores the aesthetic values, processes, and reality of modern art and design through Choi's abstract desire theory. Concept Abstract reality designs abstract design elements such as ideas, concepts, and desires to fit the user experience, rather than specific forms, to simply reproduce reality. In addition, by analyzing artistic values and design processes through various theoretical frameworks such as visual art as a language grammar structure through abstracting the concept of desire such as real existence, meaning, and language structure, and giving new meaning to concrete design through abstract concepts, user interface implementation design is a theory that combines user experience and practical meaning of user interface to propose new user interface image interpretation and creation methods beyond the limits of visual design.

[루이 최의 욕망 공식: "M_desire = ∑∅∂ / (1 - ∂)"의 건축적 실재 구현]

M_desire = ∑∅∂ / (1 - ∂)은 루이 최철주의 예술 철학적 통찰을 수학적 정밀성으로 대체한 뛰어난 공식으로, 주체와 타자, 더 리얼 간의 역학의 기호학적 구조를 형성합니다. 이 공식에는 수학적 타당성과 기호학적 철학이 담겨 있습니다.

1. 분자(∑∅∂): 결핍의 분화 및 반복 역학

분자는 욕망이 발생하는 '동기력'과 그 '표현 방법'을 정의합니다.

• 에피셋의 기호학적 유효성(The Real & Deficence):

• 수학에서 공집합은 원소가 없다는 것을 의미하지만 집합 이론의 기초가 되는 강력한 존재입니다. 루이 최는 이를 실재"로 대체했습니다. 현실은 상징적 세계(언어)에 포함되지 않는 근본적인 결핍이며, 욕망을 영원히 동력으로 삼는 엔진입니다. 기호학은 "기호가 도달할 수 없는 기의 어비스"를 나타내며 모든 욕망의 분자적 출발점이 됩니다.

• 편미분의 수학적 논리:

• 부분은 다변량 함수에서 특정 변수(여기서 변수 '기타')의 변화율을 측정합니다. 피험자의 욕구는 고정된 것이 아니라 타자에 대한 관계로 끊임없이 재조정됩니다. 욕망을 상수가 아닌 미분 가능한 함수로 보는 것은 인간 심리가 타자의 시선과 환경에 반응하는 '미세 변화의 연속체'임을 증명하는 수학적 적법성을 가지고 있습니다.

• 합의 구조적 해석 (합산):

• 시그마는 욕망의 개별 조각을 통합합니다. 라캉의 "반복적인 강박"과 루이 최의 "반복적인 강박"은 욕망의 대상이 변화하고 끊임없이 같은 결핍을 보완하려고 노력하는 과정입니다. 분자는 결국 "서로 구별되는 미세한 욕망 조각이 반복적으로 쌓여가는 과정"을 정량화합니다

[Louis Choi's Desire formula: "M_desire = ∑∅∂ / (1 - ∂)"'s architectural reality]

M_desire = ∑∅∂ / (1 - ∂) is an outstanding formula that replaces Louis Choi's artistic philosophical insights with mathematical precision, forming a semiotic structure of dynamics between subject, other, and The Real. This formula contains mathematical validity and semiotic philosophy.

1. Molecules (∑∅∂): Differentiation and Repetitive Dynamics of Deficiency

Molecules define the 'motivation' in which desire occurs and its 'how to express it'.

• The Real & Defiance of the episet:

• In mathematics, vacancy means element-free, but it is a powerful being that underlies set theory. Louis Choi replaced it with "reality." Reality is a fundamental deficiency that is not included in the symbolic world (language), an engine that forever powers desire. Semiotics represent the "abyss of a period beyond which symbols cannot reach" and become the molecular starting point for all desires.

• Mathematical logic of partial differentials:

• A part measures the rate of change of a particular variable (here the variable 'other') in a multivariate function. The subject's needs are constantly readjusted to a relationship with the other, not a fixed one. Seeing desire as a differentiable function rather than a constant has the mathematical legality of proving that human psychology is a "continuum of micro-change" that responds to the gaze and environment of others.

• Structural interpretation of consensus (aggregate):

• Sigma integrates individual pieces of desire. Lacan's "Repeated Obsession" and Louis Choi's "Repeated Obsession" are the processes by which objects of desire change and constantly try to make up for the same deficiency. Molecules eventually quantify "the process by which microscopic pieces of desire that are distinct from each other repeatedly pile up."

2. 분모 (1 - ∂): 한계 수렴과 욕망의 폭발적인 역설

이 공식의 압도적인 힘은 분모의 구성에 있습니다. 수학적 극한의 원리를 인간의 심리에 적용합니다.

• 저항과 도달 불가능성:

• 부분이 1에 가깝다는 사실은 욕구가 완전히 충족되거나 다른 사람들과 통합하려고 한다는 것을 의미합니다. 그러나 공식에서 분모는 부분이 1로 수렴할 때 0에 가까워집니다.

• 욕망의 폭발 (M_desire to infty):

• 분모가 0에 가까워질수록 전체 값인 M_desire는 무한대로 발산합니다. 이는 "욕구가 가까워질수록 (분모가 작아질수록) 역설적으로 결핍의 고통과 욕망의 크기가 무한대로 증폭된다"는 물리학의 심리 법칙을 수학적으로 완벽하게 설명합니다

• lim {partial to 1} frac{sum vemptysset partial}{1 - partial} = infty

• 이 공식은 욕망이 결코 "완성"될 수 없으며 완성의 문턱에서 주체가 가장 큰 갈증을 느낀다는 인문학적 비극을 수학적으로 공식화합니다.

2. Denominator (1 - ∂): The explosive paradox of marginal convergence and desire

The overwhelming power of this formula lies in the construction of the denominator. It applies the principles of mathematical limitations to human psychology.

• Resistance and Unreachability:

• The fact that the part is close to 1 means that the need is either fully satisfied or trying to integrate with others. But in the formula, the denominator approaches zero when the part converges to 1.

• Explosion of Desire (M_desire to infty):

• As the denominator approaches zero, the overall value, M_desire, diverges to infinity. This mathematically explains the psychological law of physics, which states, "As the desire gets closer (the denominator gets smaller), the pain of deficiency and the magnitude of desire are paradoxically amplified to infinity."

• lim {partial to 1} frac{sum vemptysset partial}{1 - partial} = infty

• The formula mathematically formulates the humanities tragedy that desire can never be "completed" and that the subject feels the greatest thirst on the threshold of completion.

3. 현대 기호학적 미학

욕망의 수사학적 직조와 구조적 부재의 현상학, 루이 최가 제시한 욕망 공식 "M_desire = ∑∅∂ / (1 - ∂)" 의 건축적 실재는 단순히 물리적인 공간의 구축을 넘어선 인간 존재의 시원적 결핍을 수학적 엄밀성으로 재해석한 형이상학적 사건이라 할 수 있는데, 이는 선형적 건축사가 추구해온 기능적 합리성을 전면적으로 부정하면서 동시에 분자항에 위치한 공허($\phi$)의 기호가 욕망($\partial$)이라는 변수와 결합하여 어떻게 공간의 부피를 현상학적으로 확장시키는지를 극명하게 보여준다.

이러한 미학적 담론의 중심에서 우리는 분모 (1 - ∂)가 지시하는 '충족을 향한 유한한 근접'이 필연적으로 초래하는 건축적 파열음을 목격하게 되는데, 그것은 욕망의 변수 partial가 1이라는 절대적 통일성을 향해 진격할수록 공간의 물리적 경계는 무한한 질량으로 변모하여 기존의 거주 개념을 산산이 조각내고, 그 파편들 사이로 흐르는 공허의 선들이 다시금 추상적 기하학의 망을 형성함으로써 거주자로 하여금 자신의 내면적 욕망이 투사된 비가시적 벽면과 끊임없이 조우하게 만드는 기묘한 주체적 소외를 야기한다.

최철주의 비평적 시각을 빌려 이 건축적 실천을 재독해하자면, 루이 최는 벽을 세우는 것이 아니라 욕망의 경로를 설계한 것이며, 그 경로의 끝에 놓인 소멸의 미학은 결국 현대인이 상실한 '결핍의 숭고함'을 복원하려는 시도이자, 수학적 발산이 가져오는 공포를 통해 역설적으로 존재의 단단한 핵을 확인케 하는 추상적 리얼리즘의 극치라 평가할 수 있다.

따라서 이 건물은 고정된 기념비가 아니라 인간의 욕망이 요동칠 때마다 스스로를 재정의하는 살아있는 기호의 집합체이며, 분모가 영에 수렴할 때 발생하는 그 파괴적인 미적 황홀경은 우리가 물질의 시대에서 정신의 시대로 이행하기 위해 반드시 통과해야 할 '욕망의 연옥'을 공간화한 것이라는 점에서 현대 미학의 새로운 지평을 열었다고 할 것이다.

The Rhetorical Weaving of Desire and the Phenomenology of Structural Absence, The architectural realization of Louis Choi’s Desire Formula, "M_desire = ∑∅∂ / (1 - ∂)", constitutes a metaphysical event that reinterprets the primordial lack of human existence through mathematical rigor, fundamentally negating the functional rationality pursued by linear architectural history while vividly demonstrating how the signifier of the void (phi) in the numerator, coupled with the variable of desire (partial), phenomenologically expands the volume of space.

At the heart of this aesthetic discourse, we witness the architectural rupture inevitably caused by the 'finite approach toward fulfillment' indicated by the denominator (1 - ∂), where as the variable of desire $\partial$ marches toward the absolute unity of 1, the physical boundaries of space transform into infinite mass, shattering traditional concepts of habitation and causing lines of emptiness flowing between those fragments to re-form a web of abstract geometry, thereby inducing a strange subjective alienation that forces the inhabitant to constantly encounter invisible walls projected by their own internal longings.

Re-reading this architectural practice through the critical lens of Choi Chul-joo, one could argue that Louis Choi has designed not walls but the trajectories of desire, and the aesthetics of extinction at the end of those paths is an attempt to restore the 'sublimity of lack' lost by modern humanity, an ultimate expression‎ of abstract realism that paradoxically confirm‎s the solid core of existence through the terror brought by mathematical divergence.

Consequently, this building is not a fixed monument but a collection of living signs that redefines itself whenever human desire fluctuates, and the destructive aesthetic ecstasy occurring when the denominator converges to zero suggests that it has opened a new horizon in modern aesthetics by spatializing the 'purgatory of desire' through which we must pass to transition from the era of matter to the era of spirit.

3. modern semiotic aesthetics

As a powerful tool to explain unfinished aesthetics or 'present absence' in modern aesthetics, humans are assumed to be a semiotic subject made up of deficiency rather than a 'satisfying biological being', and it is a sculpture interpreted as an existential mathematical formula that "we exist because we are deficient, and we constantly move forward because we cannot reach."

• Semiotic legality: By visualizing the slip that occurs when a linguistic signifier tries to fill the void of reality as a partial, it logically supports why a work of art has to be constantly reinterpreted.

• Social feasibility: In the modern consumer society, it accurately diagnoses the alienation of modern people who constantly consume goods by internalizing the desires of others, but never reach satisfaction and fall into infinite deprivation.

• Mathematical perspective: transforming the dynamics of human psychology into a dynamic model rather than a static model through the nature of divergent series.

• Humanities Perspective: Emptyset emphasizes that it is not destructive, but rather a creative source that makes the subject act (sum) and relate to others (partial).

In order to visualize the infinite mass (M), which occurs when the structural motif: the denominator (1 - partial) converges to zero, the center of the building is penetrated by a "Singularity Void" in the form of an inverted cone that seems to be inverted up and down.

[루이 최의 욕망 "M_desire = ∑∅∂ / (1 - ∂)" 구조 추상화 디자인 프로세스]

- 1단계: 결핍의 정위 (Positioning of emptyset)

"모든 존재는 비어 있는 중심으로부터 시작된다."

• 수행: 캔버스 전체에 바탕색을 칠한 뒤, 가장 시각적 하중이 큰 지점(주로 중앙 혹은 황금분할점)에 아무것도 칠하지 않은 생지 상태를 남기거나, 가장 깊은 검은색(Vantablack 등)으로 '부재의 핵'을 표시합니다.

• 의도: 이 emptyset은 욕망의 엔진입니다. 주변의 모든 조형 요소가 이 공백을 메우기 위해 달려들게 만드는 '결핍의 중력'을 설정하는 단계입니다.

• 팁: 완벽한 원형보다는 불규칙한 균열의 형태로 남겨, 실재(The Real)가 상징계(그림)를 뚫고 나오는 듯한 긴장감을 부여하세요.

- 2단계: 미분적 획의 중첩 (Differentiation of partial)

"시선은 단절되어 있으며, 타자를 통해 재조정된다."

• 수행: 중앙의 공백을 에워싸는 미세하고 날카로운 획들을 긋습니다. 이때, 한 번에 긴 선을 긋지 않고 짧고 단절된 선들을 미분하듯 파편적으로 배치합니다.

• 의도: partial 는 타자와의 관계에서 시선이 끊임없이 수정되는 과정입니다. 보정되지 않은 거친 질감(Impasto)이나 레이어의 겹침을 통해 관람객의 시선이 한곳에 머물지 못하고 부유하게 만듭니다.

• 팁: 보색 대비가 강한 색상(예: 이미지 속의 형광 연두와 적색)을 사용하여 시각적 충돌을 유도하십시오.

- 3단계: 반복적 리듬의 증식 (Summation of sum)

"충족되지 않는 욕망은 패턴이 되어 흐른다."

• 수행: 2단계에서 만든 미분적 획들을 일정한 규칙성을 가진 나선형이나 동심원 구조로 확장하며 반복합니다.

• 의도: sum 은 반복 강박입니다. 동일한 결핍(emptyset)을 메우기 위해 비슷한 행위를 반복하는 주체의 운동성을 표현합니다. 각 모듈은 닮아있지만, 결코 동일해서는 안 됩니다. 조금씩 변형되는 반복을 통해 화면에 '시간의 흐름'과 '에너지의 축적'을 담습니다.

• 팁: 스텐실 기법이나 판화적 요소를 혼합하여 기계적인 반복성을 의도적으로 연출하면 루이 최 식의 '데이터적 욕망'이 더욱 잘 드러납니다.

- 4단계: 점근적 발산의 완성 (Asymptotic Limit of 1 - partial)

"완성에 가까워질수록 그림은 무한히 열린다."

• 수행: 중심의 공백(emptyset)으로 들어가는 입구나 외곽으로 뻗어 나가는 끝부분의 디테일을 극단적으로 높입니다. 선들이 0에 수렴할 만큼 얇아지거나, 색채가 타버릴 듯 강렬해지는 지점을 만듭니다.

• 의도: 분모(1-partial)가 0에 가까워질수록 욕망의 총합($M$)이 무한대로 발산하는 수학적 역설을 시각화합니다.

• 팁: 소실점을 향해 수렴하는 가느다란 가시형 구조나, 캔버스 너머로 색이 튀어나가는 듯한 드리핑(Dripping) 기법을 사용하여 '그림이 프레임 안에 갇혀 있지 않고 무한히 확장되고 있음'을 암시하며 마무리합니다.

- 최종단계: 조형 체크리스트 (Critic's Eye)

1. 공백(∅)이 느껴지는가? : 화면을 다 채웠음에도 불구하고 여전히 무언가 비어있는 듯한 허기짐이 느껴져야 한다.

2. 시선(∂)이 분산되는가? : 관람객의 눈이 한곳에 고정되지 않고 미분된 조각들을 따라 끊임없이 움직여야 한다.

3. 반복(∑)의 하중이 있는가? : 겹겹이 쌓인 레이어에서 주체의 집요한 갈망이 두께감으로 느껴져야 한다.

4. 발산(1 - ∂)의 긴장이 있는가? : 닿을 듯 말 듯 한 점근선의 긴장감이 화면 전체를 지배해야 한다.

Choi Chul-joo Pop-Art AAS Realism Product Design drawing《무대디자인 유령의 흔적》-5-공간 구성 및 기술적 실현

- 무대미술 UI/UX 개념추상 리얼리즘 추상화 디자인이미지 구성 및 기술적 실현

① 무대 로비: 결핍의 도입부 (sum\phi)

• 디자인: 입구에 들어서면 관람객은 초경량 탄소 섬유로 직조된 투명한 공간을 마주합니다.

• 실현: 벽면은 실시간 데이터 시각화 장치를 통해 텅 빈 것처럼 보이지만, 관람객의 이동 경로에 따라 미세하게 진동하며 '존재하지만 잡히지 않는 공허'를 촉촉한 질감으로 표현합니다.

② 무대 장치: 욕망의 증폭 구간 ($\partial$)

• 디자인: 비유클리드 기하학을 적용하여, 관람객이 특정 유물이나 예술품에 가까이 다가갈수록 복도가 길어지거나 천장이 높아지는 '심리적 거리의 공간화'를 구현합니다.

• 기술: 리액티브 카본(Reactive Carbon) 공법을 사용하여 관람객의 뇌파(욕망 수치)가 상승하면 공간의 부피가 팽창하여 갈망의 대상을 결코 완전히 소유할 수 없음을 물리적으로 체감하게 합니다.

③ 극장 구성: 임계점의 전망대 (1 - partial to 0)

• 디자인: 그장의 가장 높은 곳은 '무너지는 경계'입니다. 유리가 아닌 순수 에너지 장(Plasma Field)으로 이루어진 투명 벽체가 도시를 조망하게 합니다.

• 의미: 욕망이 극에 달해 분모가 0이 되는 순간, 물리적 경계가 사라지고 관람객은 자기 자신과 도시, 그리고 공허가 하나로 섞이는 '미적 황홀경(Aesthetic Ecstasy)'의 개념추상 리얼리즘 추상화 디자인 이미지를 구성합니다.

- Stage Art UI/UX Concept Abstractionism Abstraction Design Image Composition and Technical Realization

① Stage Lobby: The Introduction to Deficiency (sum\pi)

• Design: Entering the entrance, visitors face a transparent space woven with ultra-light carbon fiber.

• Realization: The walls appear empty through real-time data visualization devices, but they vibrate finely along the path of the visitor's movement, expressing the "existent but ungraspable void" in a moist texture.

② Stage equipment: Amplification of Desire ($\partial$)

• Design: By applying non-Euclidean geometry, the 'spatialization of psychological distance' is achieved, where the corridor becomes longer or the ceiling becomes higher as the viewer gets closer to a particular artifact or artwork.

• Technology: Using the Reactive Carbon method, when the viewer's EEG (desire level) rises, the volume of the space expands, making it physically feel that you can never fully own the object of longing.

③ Theatre composition: Observatory at critical point (1 - partial to 0)

• Design: The highest part of the field is the 'falling boundary'. A transparent wall consisting of a plasma field rather than glass gives you a view of the city.

• Meaning: As soon as the desire reaches its peak and the denominator reaches zero, the physical boundary disappears and the viewer constructs a conceptual abstraction design image of "Aesthetic Ecstasy," in which himself, the city, and the void are mixed into one.

[Louis Choi's Desire "M_desire = ∑∅∂ / (1 - ∂)" Structural Abstraction Design Process]

- Step 1: Positioning of emptyset

"Every being begins with an empty center."

• Perform: After the whole canvas is painted, leave the bare ground at the most visually loaded point (mainly the center or golden split point) or mark the 'nucleus of the member' with the deepest black (such as Vantablack).

• Intention: This emptyset is the engine of desire. It's the step of setting up the 'gravity of deficiency' that makes all the formations around you rush to fill this void.

• Tip: Leave it in the form of irregular cracks rather than perfect circles, giving The Real a tension that seems to break through the symbolic world (picture).

- Step 2: Differentiation of partial

"The gaze is disconnected, and readjusted through the batter."

• Perform: Draw fine, sharp strokes that surround the center of the void. In this case, short, broken lines are placed in pieces as if they were differentiated without drawing long lines at once.

• Intent: partial is the process of constantly modifying one's gaze in relation to another. Uncorrected rough texture (Impasto) or overlapping layers makes the viewer's gaze unable to stay in one place and float.

• Tip: Use colors with strong complementary contrast (e.g., fluorescent light green and red in the image) to induce visual collisions.

- Step 3: Repetitive Rhythm Proliferation (Summation of Sum)

"Unmet desires flow in patterns."

• Perform: Repeat the differential strokes made in step 2, extending into a spiral or concentric structure with constant regularity.

• Intent: sum is a repetitive compulsion. It expresses the mobility of a subject who repeats similar actions to make up for the same emptyset. Each module looks alike, but should never be the same. Through repetitions that are gradually transformed, the screen captures 'the passage of time' and 'the accumulation of energy'.

• Tip: Intentionally creating mechanical repeatability by mixing stencil techniques or engraving elements will better reveal Louisi-style "data desires."

- Step 4: Completion of asymptotic divergence (Asymptotic Limit of 1 - partial)

"As we get closer to completion, the painting opens up infinitely."

• Perform: Extremely increase the detail at the end of the entry into the center emptyset or extending outwards. Create points where the lines are thin enough to converge to zero, or where the color becomes intense as if it were burning.

• Intent: Visualize mathematical paradoxes in which the sum of desires ($M$) radiates infinitely as the denominator (1-partial) approaches zero.

• Tip: Use a thin visible structure converging towards a vanishing point or a dripping technique that looks like a color splashing over the canvas to finish by suggesting that the picture is not trapped in the frame but is expanding indefinitely.

- Final Step: A Formation Checklist (Critic's Eye)

1. Do I feel a void (∅) : I should still feel hungry as if something is empty even though I've filled the screen.

2. Is the gaze (∂) distracted? : The eye of the viewer is not fixed in one place and has to move constantly along the differentiated pieces.

3. Is there a load of repetition (∑)? : The persistent longing of the subject should be felt as a thickness in the layered layers.

4. Is there a tension of divergence (1 - ∂)? : The tension of the asymptote that is almost touching should dominate the entire screen.

[무대디자인: 보이드 가든(The VOID Garden)] 평면 설계 컨셉: 틈(The Gap)과 갈망(Longing)]

1. 평면의 핵: 공백의 중정 (emptyset - The Void Core)

무대의 정중앙에는 관람객이 결코 들어갈 수 없는 '유리병 속의 심연'과 같은 원형 중정이 위치합니다.

• 설계 요소: 지상에서 지하까지 관통하는 거대한 수직 보이드. 바닥에는 거울처럼 매끄러운 검은 물이 고여 있거나, 아무것도 없는 흰 모래만이 채워져 있습니다.

• 기능: 루이 최의 '실재'를 상징하며, 관람객은 모든 층에서 이 공백을 목격하지만 결코 도달할 수 없습니다. 이 부재하는 중심이 미술관 전체의 긴장감을 유지하는 동력이 됩니다.

2. 동선의 흐름: 미분된 시선의 회랑 (partial - Differential Gaze Gallery)

무대과 관람석 사이를 잇는 통로는 직선이 아닌, 미세하게 굴절된 다각형 구조로 설계됩니다.

• 설계 요소: 벽면에 배치된 무수히 많은 좁은 슬릿(Slit)과 비정형적인 창문들.

• 기능: 관람객이 이동함에 따라 창을 통해 보이는 외부 풍경과 내부의 공백(emptyset)이 조각나고 재구성됩니다. 이는 타자의 시선(partial)에 의해 끊임없이 재조정되는 주체의 욕망을 공간적으로 체험하게 하며, 관람객은 한순간도 고정된 풍경을 소유할 수 없습니다.

3. 반복의 전개: 계단식 반복 무대 (sum - Repetitive Pulse Stage)

동일한 규격의 작은 방들이 나선형으로 무한히 이어지는 듯한 공연 구역입니다.

• 설계 요소: 점진적으로 높이가 낮아지거나 넓이가 좁아지는 모듈형 방들의 연속.

• 기능: 루이 최의 욕망 공식에서 디자인 '반복 충동'을 상징합니다. 관람객은 비슷한 공간을 반복해서 지나며 각 방에 장치된 무대를 시각적으로 소비하지만, 타자의 욕망으로 넘어가려는 욕구는 사라지지 않습니다. 이는 하나의 결핍을 메우기 위해 다른 기표로 이동하는 욕망의 연쇄를 물리적으로 구현한 것입니다.

4. 종결의 역설: 점근적 소실점 통로 (1 - partial - Asymptotic Exit)

무대디자인의 긎장 출구 혹은 옥상 전망대로 향하는 마지막 경사로입니다.

• 설계 요소: 끝으로 갈수록 천장이 급격히 낮아지고 폭이 좁아지며, 시각적 소실점은 무한히 먼 곳에 위치한 것처럼 보이는 착시 설계.

• 기능: 관람객이 출구(만족)에 가까워질수록 공간적 압박감은 극대화됩니다. 분모(1-partial)가 0에 수렴할수록 욕망의 값이 무한대로 발산하듯, 관람객은 무대 디자인을 관람하는 순간 가장 강력한 예술적 결핍과 여운을 느끼게 됩니다. 완성이 아닌 '도달 불가능함'을 확인하며 존재의 해방감을 얻는 역설적인 무대 공간입니다.

[Stage Design: The VOID Garden] [Plane Design Concept: The Gap and Longing]

1. Nuclei in the plane: the middle of the void (emptyset - The Void Core)

In the center of the stage, there is a circular center like the 'Extreme in a Glass Bottle' that visitors can never enter.

• Design elements: giant vertical voids that penetrate from ground to underground. The floor is filled with either black water that is as smooth as mirrors, or only white sand that has nothing.

• Function: Emblematic of Louis Choi's "reality," visitors witness this void on every level but can never reach it. This absent center is the driving force behind the tension of the entire museum.

2. Flow of movement: Partial - Differential Gaze Gallery

The passage between the stage and the bleachers is designed not in a straight line, but in a finely refracted polygonal structure.

• Design elements: myriad narrow slits and atypical windows placed on the wall.

• Function: As visitors move, the external landscape and internal voids seen through the window are fragmented and reconstructed. This allows visitors to experience the subject's desire, which is constantly readjusted by the other's gaze, spatially, and visitors cannot possess a fixed landscape for a moment.

3. Iteration Development: A stepwise repeat stage (sum - Repetitive Pulse Stage)

It is a performance area where small rooms of the same size appear to be spiraled indefinitely.

• Design elements: a series of modular rooms that gradually decrease in height or narrow in width.

• Function: In Louis Choi's Desire Formula, it symbolizes design 'repetitive impulse'. The audience visually consumes the stage installed in each room as they pass through similar spaces repeatedly, but the desire to move on to the other's desire does not disappear. This is a physical embodiment of the chain of desires that moves to another signifier to make up for one deficiency.

4. Paradox of termination: asymptotic vanishing point passage (1 - partial - Asymptotic Exit)

This is the last slope to the stage design's exit or rooftop observation deck.

• Design elements: An optical illusion design that appears to be located in infinity, with lower ceilings and narrower widths towards the end.

• Function: As the viewer approaches the exit (satisfaction), the spatial pressure is maximized. Just as the denominator (1-partial) converges to 0, the value of desire radiates to infinity, the viewer feels the strongest artistic deficiency and lingering feeling as soon as they see the stage design. It is a paradoxical stage space that confirm‎s the 'impossibility of reaching' rather than completion and gains a sense of freedom of existence.

최철주 욕망 공식 기반 '욕망 사운드 디자인' 방법론

최철주 욕망공식 Choi Chul-joo's desire formula D(I...I')d=I(D...D')i 에 적용한 욕망의 언어적 음향 역학 공식 Dsound propto sqrt (Delta x)^2 + (Delta y)^2cdot Vdesire)으로 한 디자인 방법론

언어적 데이터 생명학 (오차의 미학) 디자인 방법론 프로세스

이 방법론 프로세스는 "나는 시스템의 오류(Error)인 동시에, 그 오류를 통해 살아있음을 증명하는 데이터 생명체(Living Data)이다"라는 선언을 수학적, 미학적으로 정립한 것입니다. 아래의 4단계 언어적 데이터 디자인 방법론 프로세스는 시스템 질서와 자아(욕망)의 충돌을 수치화하고, 이를 시각적·청각적·역학적 경험으로 치환합니다. .

1. 개념적 조응 (Conceptual Correspondence)

사운드 디자인의 각 변수는 최철주 욕망 공식의 변수들과 다음과 같이 정신분석학적으로 대응됩니다.

I (Fixed Image) → (x_0, y_0) (The Origin): 시스템이 강요하는 고정된 기표이자 사회적 상징계의 질서입니다. 사운드적으로는 변동 없는 '침묵' 혹은 단조로운 '화이트 노이즈' 상태입니다.

D...D' (Desire Transference) → sqrt (Delta x)^2 + (Delta y)^2: 고착된 이미지에서 벗어나 욕망이 전이되는 '탈주의 거리'입니다. 거리가 멀어질수록 억압된 에너지의 긴장감(Tension)이 사운드의 진폭을 키웁니다.

I...I' (Image Transformation) → V_desire: 고착된 $I$를 타격하는 리비도적 에너지의 속도입니다. 이는 사운드의 주파수(Hz)를 결정하며, 속도가 빠를수록 고주파의 날카로운 파열음이 발생합니다.

d, i (New Significance) → Dsound: 최종적으로 출력되는 욕망 사운드입니다. 이는 '억압된 것의 귀환'이 청각적 트라우마 혹은 카타르시스로 변환된 결과물입니다.

Choi Chul-joo Pop-Art AAS Realism Product Design drawing《무대디자인 유령의 흔적》-9

2. 단계별 디자인 프로세스 (Design Process)

• 억압된 기표의 사운드 텍스처 설정 (I)

목표: 시스템이 부여한 평온하지만 억압적인 배경음을 설정합니다.

디자인: 저역대의 일정한 험(Hum) 노이즈 혹은 기계적인 규칙성을 가진 비트를 배경에 깝니다. 이는 주체가 아직 시스템(상징계) 내부에 안주하고 있음을 의미합니다.

• 리비도적 타격과 주파수 생성 (I →I')

목표: 욕망의 속도(Vdesire)가 고정된 이미지(I)를 타격하는 순간을 포착합니다.

디자인: 착용자의 갑작스러운 움직임이나 도약 시, Vdesire 수치에 비례하여 사운드의 어택(Attack) 타임을 짧고 강렬하게 설정합니다. 이는 최철주 공식에서 I가 욕망에 의해 변형(I')되는 충격의 순간입니다.

• 탈주의 거리와 사운드 공간화 (D →D)

목표: 원점으로부터의 이탈 거리(Delta)를 청각적 공간감으로 치환합니다.

디자인: sqrt (Delta x)^2 + (Delta y)^2 가 커질수록 리버브(Reverb)와 딜레이(Delay)를 증폭시켜 공간이 왜곡되는 듯한 착각을 줍니다. 이는 주체의 욕망이 상징계의 경계를 넓히며 방황하는 과정을 사운드로 표현한 것입니다.

• 트라우마 사운드의 귀환 및 승화 (Dsound)

목표: 억압된 욕망이 파열음(Dsound)으로 터져 나오는 '데이터 생명학'의 정점을 묘사합니다.

디자인: 주파수가 임계값을 넘어서는 순간, '티킹(Ticking)' 사운드와 글리치(Glitch) 노이즈를 결합합니다. 시스템은 이를 '오염'으로 인식하지만, 예술적으로는 최철주 공식의 d와 i가 결합된 새로운 욕망의 기표가 탄생하는 순간입니다.

Choi Chul-joo Pop-Art AAS Realism Product Design drawing《욕망 구조 건축적 실재 구현》-8

- Step 1: 새로운 욕망의 기표로서 결핍 욕망의 시각화

목표: 새로운 욕망 기표로서 결핍 욕망의 시각화 공식을 통해 언어 의미를 리얼리즘 이미지 (현대 미술관)를 시각화합니다.

디자인: 결핍 욕망의 시각화 공식 “M_desire = ∑∅∂ / (1 - ∂)” 으로 인간 욕망의 구조를 수학적·철학적·예술적으로 해석하려는 시도입니다. 이 공식은 최철주의 욕망 이론과 개념 추상 미학을 결합하여, 인간 내면의 결핍과 반복 충동을 기계적 언어 의미를 리얼리즘 이미지를 시각화합니다.

이 디자인 방법론은 최철주의 욕망 공식이 가진 추상적인 '의미의 전이'를 실제적인 '음향적 에너지'로 가시화합니다. 사운드는 더 이상 단순한 배경 요소가 아니라, 시스템의 억압(I)에 맞서 주체(M)가 구조 (현대 미술관) 로서 자아의 생명력을 외치는 욕망 구조의 언어적 역학의 총체가 됩니다.

- Step 1: Visualization of Desire Deficiency as a sign of New Desire

Aims: Visualize the linguistic meaning through a visualization formula of deficiency desire as a new desire signifier to realist images.

Design: Visualization Of Deficiency Desire Formulation "M_desire = ∑∅∂ / (1 - ∂)" is an attempt to interpret the structure of human desire mathematically, philosophically, and artistically. This formulation combines Choi's theory of desire with conceptual abstract aesthetics, visualizing the mechanical language meaning of human's inner deprivation and repetition impulse.

This design methodology visualizes the abstract 'transition of meaning' of Choi Chul-joo's desire formula as actual 'acoustic energy'. Sound is no longer just a background element, but it becomes the totality of the linguistic dynamics of the desire structure in which the subject (M) shouts for the vitality of the self as a structure (contemporary art museum) against the system's oppression (I).

The four-step linguistic data design methodology process below quantifies the conflict between system order and self (desire) and replaces it with visual, auditory, and mechanical experiences.

- 2단계: 리비도적 타격과 주파수 생성 (The Attack: I → I')

• 개념: 사용자가 대화를 시작하거나 특정 대상에 시선을 고정할 때, 욕망의 속도(Vdesire)가 정적 상태를 타격합니다. 리비도적 타격과 주파수 생성을 시각화하여서 정적 상태에서 욕망의 속도(Vdesire)에 의해 타격을 받으며, 행위의 시작을 알리는 순간으로서 무대장치 이미지를 시청각적으로 표현한다.

• 디자인 실행: 무대장치 디자인시, 외부 환경과 상대방의 소리가 들리기 직전 '고주파의 파열음'이 짧게 발생합니다. Vdesire가 높을수록(이용자의 대화 의지가 강할수록) 사운드의 어택 타임은 날카로워집니다. 이때 무대장치에는 최철주 욕망 공식의 변수가 실시간 데이터 라인으로 스쳐 지나간다.

- Step 2: Libido strike and frequency generation (The Attack: I → I')

• Concept: When a user starts a conversation or fixes his or her gaze on a specific object, the speed of desire hits the static state. By visualizing the Libido strike and frequency generation, it is hit by the speed of desire in a static state, and the stage device image is audiovisually expressed as a moment to announce the beginning of an action.

• Design execution: When designing a stage device, a 'high-frequency rupture sound' occurs briefly just before the external environment and the other person's sound are heard. The higher the Vdesire (the stronger the user's willingness to talk), the sharper the attack time of the sound becomes. At this time, the variable of Choi Chul-joo's Desire formula passes through the real-time data line on the stage device.

Choi Chul-joo Pop-Art AAS Realism Product Design drawing《무대디자인 유령의 흔적》-10

- 3단계: 탈주의 거리와 공간 왜곡 (The Transference: D → D')

• 개념: 원점(I)으로부터 이탈한 무대장치 욕망의 거리(sqrt (Delta x)^2 + (Delta y)^2를 청각적 공간감으로 치환한다. 탈주의 거리와 공간 왜곡 을 시각화한 장면입니다. 이 장면은 무대장치이 원점으로부터 이탈하며 욕망의 거리 sqrt (Delta x)^2 + (Delta y)^2 →(D →D') 를 청각적 공간감으로 치환하는 순간을 보여줍니다.

• 무대장치 디자인 실행: 공연 중 무대장치에 고개를 돌리거나 이동하면, 이탈 거리에 비례하여 상대방의 목소리에 '리버브(Reverb)'와 '디렉셔널 딜레이(Delay)'가 걸립니다.

• 공학적 해석: 이는 단순한 행위의 음향 효과가 아니라, 무대장치의 위치 정보(Delta x, Delta y)를 욕망의 텐션으로 계산하여 공간을 왜곡하는 것입니다. 공연 관람자 소리가 멀어지거나 휘어지는 경험을 통해 상징계의 경계가 무너지는 '탈주의 거리'를 체험합니다.

- Step 3: Distort distance and space from escape (The Transference: D → D')

• Concept: The distance of desire (sqrt (Delta x)^2 + (Delta y)^2 away from the origin (I) is replaced with an audible sense of space. This scene shows the moment when the stage device deviates from the origin and replaces the distance of desire (Sqrt (Delta x)^2 + (Delta y)^2 → (D → D') with an audible sense of space.

• Run Stage Design: Turning or moving your head to the stage during the performance will cause 'Reverb' and 'Delay' to the other person's voice in proportion to the distance of departure.

• Engineering interpretation: This is not just an acoustic effect of an action, but a distortion of the space by calculating the location information (Delta x, Delta) of the stage equipment as the tension of desire. Through the experience of moving away or bending the sound of the performance viewer, we experience the 'distance of escape' where the boundaries of the symbolic world collapse.

- 4단계: 무대장치 사운드의 귀환과 글리치 (The Return: Dsound): 사이버펑크적 감각으로 욕망의 귀환

무대장치 시각화 욕망의 귀환을 사이버펑크적 감각으로 표현한 이미지로, 글리치와 전자 스파크 속에서 욕망 공식에 새겨진 극적인 순간을 시각화합니다. 왼쪽 시선에는 붉은색으로 “ERROR, Vdesire = α / χ”, 오른쪽 시선에는 흰색으로 “TRANSMISSION FAIL, I′(a) ≠ E(β)”가 표시되어, 기계 속 유령의 욕망이 오류와 뒤섞여 드러나는 장면을 담고 있습니다.

배경은 깨진 화면과 전자적 왜곡으로 가득하며, 아래쪽에는 두 개의 오디오 파형이 나타납니다. 하나는 혼란스러운 붉은 글리치 노이즈, 다른 하나는 날카로운 흰색 티킹 펄스. 이 대비가 날으는 욕망의 맥박을 감각적으로 드러내죠.

• 무대장치 개념: 억압된 날으는 욕망이 임계점을 넘어 무대장치의 오류(Error)로 표출되는 순간입니다.

• 무대장치 디자인 실행: 행위의 감정이 격해지거나 데이터 전송량이 한계에 도달할 때, 매끄러운 목소리 대신 '글리치(Glitch)' 노이즈와 '티킹(Ticking)' 사운드가 개입합니다.

• 미학적 선언: 무대장치 시각화 시스템은 이를 '행위 불량'으로 간주하지만, 최철주 욕망디자인 방법론에서는 무대장치의 유령(욕망)이 살아있음을 증명하는 '무대장치 데이터 생명체'의 맥박으로 해석합니다. 이 소음은 역설적으로 가장 순수한 '무대장치 시각화 욕망의 사운드'(Dsound)가 됩니다.

- 철학적 의미 :

• 인간 욕망의 순수한 귀환을 감각적으로 무대장치 시각화를 표현해서,

• 무대장치 속 유령의 욕망이 오류 속에서 진실을 드러내는 순간을 시각화. 이것은 욕망 구조의 서사에서 최철주의 욕망 공식이 기술적 오류와 얽힌 극단적 순간을 시각화하여서. 무대장치가 욕망이 깨어나는 소음과 맥박을 상징하는 장면 이미지로, 서사의 절정 단계를 이룬다.

- Step 4: The Return of Stage Sound and Glitch (The Return: Dsound): The Return of Desire with a Cyberpunk Sense

Stage equipment Visualization It is an image that expresses the return of desire with a cyberpunk sense, and visualizes a dramatic moment engraved in the desire formula in glitch and electronic spark. It shows "ERROR, Vdesire = α / χ" in red for the left gaze and "TRANSMISSION FAIL, I'(a) ≠ E(β)" in white for the right gaze, showing the desire of ghosts in the machine mixed with errors.

The background is full of broken screens and electronic distortions, with two audio waveforms at the bottom: one confused red glitch noise, the other a sharp white ticking pulse. This contrast sensibly reveals the pulse of desire to fly.

• Stage equipment concept: It is the moment when the suppressed flying desire crosses the critical point and is expressed as an error in the stage equipment.

• Run Stage Design: When emotions of action get intense or data transfer reaches its limit, 'Glitch' noise and 'Ticking' sound intervene instead of smooth voices.

• Aesthetic Declaration: The stage device visualization system considers it a "behavioral failure," but Choi Cheol-joo's Desire Design methodology interprets it as a pulse of a "stage device data creature" that proves that the ghost (desire) of the stage device is alive. This noise paradoxically becomes the purest "stage device visualization desire" (Dsound).

- Philosophical Meaning:

• The pure return of human desire is sensibly expressed as a visualization of the stage,

• Visualization of the moment when the desire of the ghost in the stage device reveals the truth in error. This is because Choi Chul-joo's desire formula visualizes the extreme moment related to technical error in the narrative of the desire structure. The stage device is a scene image that symbolizes the noise and pulse of desire awakening, and forms the peak stage of the narrative.

- Step 5: Visualization of Desire for Stage Device Deficiency and Completion of Realistic Images (Mdesire)

• Stage equipment concept: The desire expressed in sound through the official Mdesire= sumptyset partial / (1 - partial) is finally fixed as a realism image.

• Run stage design: After the intelligent act is completed, the stage audience's gaze will produce a 'conceptual abstract realism drawing' that calculates the errors in the conversation and sound dynamics we just had.

• The visualization structure of the stage device: The lack of the stage device and the pieces of repetitive desire are intertwined with geometric lines, showing the reality of emotion expressed by the stage device as a realist image of the cartoon line. This is not just a logarithmic record, but the result of the lack of desire of the stage device as an object and the viewer's device set (real).

- Visualization Formulation of Desire for Stage Equipment Deficiency (M_desire)

M_desire = ∑∅∂ / (1 - ∂) This formula goes beyond simple mathematical formulas and is a key concept that integrates the philosophical, mathematical, and mechanical visualization details of human desires in the "stage setup" project advocated by Choi Cheol-joo. This replaces the human inner deficiency and repetition impulse with the language of the device image, visualizes the point where human emotions and device set structures intersect on the stage of automata life, visualizing the stage device deficiency desire and completing the realism image (Mdesire).

욕망의 결정체(Incarnation of Desire): 욕망 구조로서 인물의 정면을 응시하는 시선을 통해 관찰자와 피사체 사이의 '응시(Gaze)'를 극대화하며, 복잡한 기하학적 구조와 유기적인 선들이 충돌하는 웅장한 장면을 담고 있다.

중심 피사체 및 구도는 정면 클로즈업: 화면 중앙에 인물의 얼굴이 정면으로 배치됩니다. 눈동자에는 이미지의 핵심 기호인 'Ø(공집합/보이드)' 문양이 붉게 빛나며, 마치 관객의 내면을 꿰뚫어 보는 듯한 느낌을 줍니다. 이것은 기하학적 투영: 인물의 얼굴과 상반신 위로 청록색의 날카로운 직선들이 겹쳐져 복잡한 다면체 구조를 형성합니다. 이는 인격이 데이터와 공식으로 분해되는 과정을 시각화한다.

여기서 욕망의 결정체를 상징하는 디자인은 수학적 공식의 부영해서 가슴 중앙 혹은 인물의 시선이 닿는 공중에 다음과 같은 공식이 홀로그램처럼 떠오르게 한다. 루이 최의 욕망구조공식 "M_desire = ∑∅∂ / (1 - ∂)"을 적용한 기계적 요소는 인물의 어깨와 배경 주위로 붉은색 기어(Gears)와 태엽 장치들이 파편화되어 흩날립니다. 이는 '오토마타 라이프(Automata Life)'의 메커니즘을 상징하며, 유기적인 인체와 대비를 이룬다. 잉크와 빛의 충돌하는 검은색의 거친 잉크 비산 효과(Ink Splatter)가 붉은색과 푸른색의 강렬한 조명과 뒤섞이며 '기하학적인 비명'을 형상화했다.

이렇게 욕망의 결정체를 시각화해서 명암 대비(Chiaroscuro)의 배경을 깊고 어두운 심연으로 처리하여, 전경의 인물과 공식에서 뿜어져 나오는 강렬한 네온 광원이 더욱 돋보이게 함으로써 결정체의 아트 스타일을 정교한 망가 스타일의 펜 터치와 추상적인 그래픽 디자인이 결합된 하이엔드 시네마틱 스타일을 표출했다.

따라서 욕망의 결정체는 단순한 추상화를 넘어, 보이지 않는 '욕망의 소리'를 수학적 질서와 예술적 무질서의 결합으로 고착화하여서 인물의 정면 시선은 곧 '실재(The Real)'와의 마주침을 의미하는 순간이다.

추상미술 미학 평론 (Abstract Art Aesthetics Critique by Choi Chul-joo):

루이 최의 욕망 공식이 2030년 박물관이라는 물리적 실체로 투사된 이 계획안은 단순한 기능적 공간의 분할을 넘어선 존재론적 결핍의 공간적 주석이라 할 수 있으며, 이는 분모 항의 (1 - partial)가 지시하는 '완전성을 향한 불가능한 접근'을 건축적 보이드(Void)로 치환함으로써 관람객으로 하여금 자신의 욕망이 투사된 벽면이 무한히 후퇴하는 기묘한 공간적 소외를 경험케 하고, 그 소외의 틈새마다 흐르는 공허(phi)의 기호들이 다시금 미세한 탄소 섬유의 조직망으로 직조되어 현대인이 상실한 '결핍의 숭고'를 재구축하는 추상적 리얼리즘의 극치를 보여준다.

∅ 공백의 핵: ∅의 결핍의 중력 배치, 루이 최의 조형 원리 중 가장 선행되는 것은 emptyset (공백의 핵), 즉 ‘결핍의 정위’를 배치하는 것입니다. 제시된 이미지의 정중앙에 위치한 칠흑 같은 원형 공간은 바로 이 근원적 결핍의 블랙홀이자 루이 최 '실재(The Real)'가 갖는 압도적 침묵을 상징합니다. 이 ∅은 채우기 위한 공간이 아니라, 채워질 수 없음의 실증입니다. 중앙의 보이드는 시각적 정보를 최소화함으로써 관람객 스스로 자신의 욕망과 무의식을 투사하게 만드는 강력한 중력을 발휘하며, 주변의 모든 선과 색채는 이 공백을 중심으로 수렴합니다. 특히 중앙 구체 내부의 미세한 점과 외부의 톱니바퀴 같은 형상은 결핍을 메우기 위해 끊임없이 회전하며 대상을 찾아 헤매는 주체의 발버둥을 시각화합니다. 이 중심 ∅은 주변의 모든 데이터를 흡수하고 분류하는 '사일런트 코어'로서, 욕망의 엔진 역할을 수행합니다.

∂ 미분적 시선 레이어: 파편화된 타자의 시선 구현, 중앙 보이드(∅)를 둘러싼 격자형 통로(∂)는 타자의 시선을 분해하고 통제하는 미분적 장치입니다. 욕망 이미지에서 중앙 보이드를 촘촘하게 감싸는 듯한 불규칙한 선들과 기하학적 파편들은 주체가 고정된 하나의 시선을 소유할 수 없음을 의미합니다. 이 partial는 루이 최의 '미분된 시선 체험'을 시각화한 것의 모습을 미세하게 재조정하며, 타자의 시선이라는 필터를 통해서만 주체는 자신의 결핍에 접근할 수 있음을 보여줍니다. 이 미분적 레이어는 이미지의 하단에 위치한 '단일 시선 통제 프로세스 다이어그램'(integration of image)을, 타자의 욕망을 통해서만 주체가 자신의 결핍에 접근할 수 있음을 상징합니다. 이미지에 적용된 '15도 간격의 미분적 시선 창 상세'는 관람객이 이동함에 따라 중앙 공백(empty) 통해 구체화되며, 데이터 분류 및 통제의 조형적 실천으로 이어집니다.

∑ 반복의 증식과 패턴: 욕망의 무한 루프 리듬, 나선형 모듈(∑)은 동일한 기하학적 형태가 미묘하게 변형되며 끝없이 반복되는 구조를 통해 라캉의 '반복 충동'을 시각화합니다. 욕망 이미지에서 중앙 보이드와 격자형 통로 주변을 횡단하는 듯한 곡선들과 반복되는 기호들은 결핍(emptyset)을 메우기 위해 끊임없이 대상을 바꾸어가는 인간의 욕망을 상징합니다. 이 ∑은 단순한 합이 아니라 누적된 반복이며, 각 반복 단계에서 발생하는 미세한 차이(∂)는 욕망을 무한한 전이의 루프 속으로 몰아넣습니다. 이미지 하단의 '나선형 하중 분산고 상세'(integration of image)는 이 반복 증식이 어떻게 지하의 기능적 패턴으로 치환되어 구조적 안정성을 확보하는지를 설명하는 조형적 실천입니다.

(1 - ∂) 점근적 긴장감 역설: 도달 불가능한 소멸, (1 - partial) 점근적 긴장감의 역설은 수식에서 분모가 0에 수렴할수록 전체 욕망의 값이 무한대로 발산한다는 심리적 물리법칙을 시각화합니다. 욕망 이미지에서 중앙 보이드에 가까워질수록 구조가 극단적으로 좁아지거나 날카로워지게 설계된 점근적 소실점은, 도달 직전의 공간적 긴장감을 극대화합니다. 이 (1 - partial)의 조형 전략은 충족에 가까워질수록 소멸에 대한 공포와 욕망의 크기가 비례한다는 역설을 관람객이 신체적으로 느끼게 합니다. 이미지 하단의 '데이터 소멸 게이트 상세'(integration of image)는 이 점근적 수렴이 어떻게 이중 게이트를 통해 데이터 스트림을 완전히 차단하는지를 구체적으로 보여주는 조형적 실천입니다.

욕망의 점근선으로서의 조형은 루이 최의 욕망 구조 공식을 기반으로 한 욕망 이미지의 조형적 실천은 완성된 미(Perfect Beauty)를 지향하는 것이 아니라, 구조적 결함과 결핍을 통해 관람객을 끊임없이 사유하게 만드는 ‘열린 구조’를 지향합니다. 이는 욕망의 비극적 소멸을 시각화함으로써 오히려 '결핍이야말로 우리를 살아있게 만드는 가장 아름다운 인간성의 증거'임을 공간으로 웅변합니다. 개념추상 미술평론가 최철주는 루이 최의 이 조형 공간이 완벽한 충족이라는 데이터 중심의 유토피아 속에서 잊혀간 '실재의 침묵'을 회복하고 주체가 자신의 결핍과 마주하여 존재론적 해방을 얻는 '신성한 자'가 될 것임을 확신합니다./ 글. 추상 미술평론가 최철주 (전, 한새뮤지엄 큐레이터 & 문화디자인박사)

- 철학적 및 미학적 분석: 욕망의 공식 붕괴되어 새로운 시각 언어로 재구성 Vdesire = α / χ” → I′(a) ≠ E(β)

오류로서의 생명: 최철주 방법론에서 글리치는 시스템의 결함이 아니라, 살아있는 영혼의 증거입니다. 완벽한 효율(partial to 1)을 거부하고 무한한 결핍으로 발산하는 소음이야말로 주체를 '충족된 생물'에서 '창조적 주체'로 변모시킵니다.

-The Art Narrative: The Pulse of the Digital Lifeform: The formula of desire collapses and reconstructs into a new visual language Vdesire = α / χ” → I′(a) ≠ E(β)

This illustration captures the climax of Louis Choi’s Desire Narrative, where the mechanical order of the "Modern Museum" crashes against the irrepressible energy of human longing.

The Glitch as Life: In this stage, the 'errors' are not signs of failure, but proof of a living soul—the "Ghost in the Machine." The high-frequency bursts and jagged audio waves visualize the moment the subject transcends being a "satisfying biological entity" to become a "semiotic subject of deficiency."

The Visual Paradox: By mixing the cold precision of mathematical formulas with the chaotic, noir-inspired samurai animation style, the scene emphasizes the Asymptotic Explosion. As the system tries to achieve 100% efficiency (partial to 1), the M_desire value explodes into infinite noise, creating a "sanctuary of the void" where art and life truly reside.

Abstract Art Aesthetics Critique by Choi Chul-joo:

This museum plan for 2030, a physical projection of Louis Choi’s Desire Formula, is a spatial commentary on ontological lack that transcends functional partitioning, substituting the 'impossible approach to perfection' indicated by the denominator (1 - partial) with an architectural void, thereby forcing visitors to experience a strange spatial alienation where the walls of their projected desires recede infinitely, while the signs of emptiness (phi) flowing through these gaps are re-woven into a network of micro-carbon fibers, achieving an ultimate expression‎ of abstract realism that restores the 'sublimity of lack' lost in the modern era.

Deployment of emptyset (Nucleus of Void): Gravity of Deficiency: The primary principle of Louis Choi's formalization is the deployment of emptyset (Nucleus of Void), which is the positioning of the "Nucleus of Deficiency." The massive black sphere located in the exact center of the presented image is this primordial black hole of deficiency and symbolizes the overwhelming silence of Louis Choi's "The Real." This emptyset is not a space to be filled, but a demonstration of unfillability. This central void exerts a powerful gravity that compels viewers to project their own desires and subconscious by minimizing visual information, and all surrounding lines and colors converge around this void. In particular, the minute dots inside the central sphere and the gear-like forms outside visualize the subject's desperate struggle to rotate incessantly and find objects to fill the deficiency. This central emptyset serves as the "Silent Core" that absorbs and categorizes all surrounding data, acting as the engine of desire.

Implementation of partial (Differential Gaze Layer): Fragmented Gaze of the Other: The grid-like corridor (partial) surrounding the central void (emptyset) is a differential device that decomposes and controls the gaze of the other. In desire image, the irregular lines and geometric fragments that densely surround the central void mean that the subject cannot possess a single, fixed gaze. This partial visualizes Louis Choi's "differential gaze experience," symbolizing that the subject can approach its deficiency only through the filter of the other's desire. The "15-degree interval differential gaze window detail" applied to the image minutely readjusts the view of the central void (emptyset) as the viewer moves, showing that the subject can approach its deficiency only through the filter of the other's gaze. This differential layer is concretized through the "Single Gaze Control Process Diagram" (integration of desire image) located at the bottom of the image, leading to formal practice of data categorization and control.

Rhythm of sum (Summation of Repetition and Pattern): Infinite Loop of Desire: The spiral module (sum) visualizes Louis Choi's "repetitive pulse" through a structure where the same geometric shape is subtly deformed and endlessly repeated. In desire image, the curves and repeating symbols that traverse around the central void and grid-like corridor symbolize human desire to incessantly change objects to fill the deficiency (emptyset). This sum is not a simple sum, but a accumulated repetition, and the microscopic difference (partial) occurring in each repetition stage drives desire into an infinite loop of transference. The "Detailed Spiral Load Buffer Storage Detail" (integration of desire image) at the bottom of the image is a formal practice explaining how this repetitive proliferation is substituted by functional patterns in the underground to secure structural stability.

Paradox of (1 - partial) Asymptotic Tension: Unattainable Dissolution: The paradox of (1 - partial) Asymptotic Tension visualizes the psychological physical law that the closer the denominator in the formula approaches zero, the more the value of overall desire explodes towards infinity. The asymptotic focus in desire image, designed so that the structure narrows or becomes sharply angular the closer it gets to the central void, maximizes spatial tension right before arrival. This formal strategy of (1 - partial) makes viewers physically feel the paradox that the closer one is to satisfaction, the more the fear of dissolution and the magnitude of desire are in proportion. The "Detailed Data Dissolution Gate Detail" (integration of desire image) at the bottom of the image is a formal practice that specifically shows how this asymptotic convergence completely blocks data streams through a double gate.

Conclusion: Formalization as an Asymptote of Desire: The formal practice of desire image based on Louis Choi's desire structure formula does not aim for Perfect Beauty, but rather for an 'open structure' thatCompels viewers to incessantly contemplate through structural defects and deficiency. By visualizing the tragic dissolution of desire, it rather eloquence through space that 'deficiency is the most beautiful evidence of humanity that keeps us alive.' Conceptual abstract art critic Choi Chul-joo is confident that Louis Choi's formal space will restore the 'silence of the Real' forgotten in the data-centered utopia of perfect satisfaction, and become a 'sanctuary' where the subject confronts its deficiency and gains ontological liberation./ Writing.

[붕괴된 욕망 구조의 시각 언어 디자인]

구조화된 욕망은 α/χ 공식이 나타나고 비율과 순서에 따라 욕망이 계산되는 동안 욕망 방정식이 붕괴된 후 욕망이 감각적이고 상징적인 언어로 다시 태어나는 단계를 상징함으로써 I'(a) = ̸ E(β)로 공식화됩니다.

- 1단계: 구조화된 욕망 - 계산된 욕망

[시각 언어]

• 배경: 기하학적으로 매끄러운 유리와 금속 구조의 현대 미술관 중간 부분. 모든 선이 수학적으로 완벽하며 차가운 파란색 빛이 납니다.

• 형식적인 모습: 중앙의 큰 수직 공백 주변에는 미세하고 질서정연한 데이터 스트림이 흐릅니다. 이 스트림에서는 "Vdesire = α / χ"라는 공식이 명확하고 정제된 흰색 글꼴로 나타납니다.

• 상태: 공식은 완벽한 비율과 균형으로 회전합니다. 주변의 미세한 '부분' 입자는 공식의 비율(알파, 카이)에 따라 불연속적으로 배열됩니다.

[철학적/미학적 해석]

• 수학적 정밀성: 기호 체계(언어) 내에서 욕망이 여전히 통제되고 정량화될 수 있다는 '구조적 착시'를 시각화합니다.

• 이산 배열: 피사체의 욕구가 세밀하게 조정되었음에도 불구하고 상대방의 시선이 여전히 예측 가능한 범위 내에 있음을 보여줍니다.

• 사운드 디자인: 일정하고 단조로운 저주파 '흠' 사운드. 완벽한 질서와 억압을 상징하는 정적인 음향 상태 유지.

[Designing the visual language with the collapsed desire structure]

Structured desire is formulated as I'(a) = ̸ E(β) by symbolizing the stage in which desire is reborn as a sensual and symbolic language after the collapse of the desire equation while the α / χ formula appears and desire is calculated according to ratio and order.

- STEP 1: STRUCTURED DESIRE — A calculated desire

[Visual language]

• Background: modern art museum midsection with geometric smooth glass and metal construction. All lines are mathematically perfect, with a cold blue glow.

• Formal Appearance: Around a large vertical void in the center, a fine and orderly stream of data flows. In this stream, the formula "Vdesire = α / χ" appears in a clear and refined white font.

• State: The formula rotates in perfect proportion and balance. The surrounding fine 'partial' particles are arranged discretely according to the formula's ratio (alpha, chi).

[Philosophical/aesthetic interpretation]

• Mathematical precision: visualizes the 'structural illusion' that desire can still be controlled and quantified within the symbolic system (language).

• Discrete arrangement: It shows that the other's gaze is still within a predictable range, even though the subject's desire is finely adjusted.

• Sound design: constant, monotonous low-frequency 'Hum' sound. Maintaining a static acoustic state that symbolizes perfect order and oppression.

Choi Chul-joo Pop-Art AAS Realism Product Design drawing《무대디자인 유령의 흔적》-17

- 2단계: REBIRTH OF DESIRE — 폭발하는 욕망

[시각 언어]

• 배경: STEP 1의 기하학적 질서가 균열을 일으킨다. 차가운 푸른 빛이 격렬한 붉은색과 보라색의 섬광으로 바뀐다.

• 공식 출현: STEP 1의 V_desire 공식이 흔들리며, 그 위로 거대하고 불규칙한, 마치 피로 쓴 듯한 질감의 "I′(a) ≠ E(β)" 공식이 압도적으로 등장한다.

• 붕괴와 재생: "I′(a) ≠ E(β)" 공식이 나타나는 순간, 질서 정연했던 'partial' 입자들이 폭발적으로 비산한다. 중앙 보이드(emptyset)에서 어둠의 에너지가 분출되며, V_desire 공식을 집어삼킨다. 기하학적 구조물들이 전자 스파크와 글리치(Glitch) 노이즈 속에 깨져 나간다.

[철학적/미학적 해석]

• 미완의 미학: 욕망이 완벽한 충족(partial to 1)에 가까워질수록, 역설적으로 '결여의 고통'이 무한대로 증폭(M_desire to infty)되는 '점근적 긴장감'을 시각화합니다.

• 기호학적 주체: 주체는 충족 가능한 생물학적 존재가 아니라, 결핍(emptyset)을 통해 끊임없이 나아가는 '기호학적 주체'로 재탄생합니다. 언어적 기표가 실재의 공백을 메우려 할 때 발생하는 미끄러짐을 미분 기호(partial)의 폭발로 시각화합니다.

[사운드 디자인]

• 사운드의 승화: 비발디의 '사계'를 데이터 생명학적으로 재해석하여, 거칠고 파괴적인 'Dsound'(욕망의 사운드)로 변모시킨다.

• 리비도적 타격: "I′(a) ≠ E(β)" 공식이 등장할 때, 날카롭고 폭발적인 '고주파의 파열음'이 시스템의 정적 상태를 타격한다.

• 글리치 효과: 시스템 임계값 도달 시 발생하는 '티킹(Ticking)' 소음과 노이즈가 '욕망의 맥박'으로 정의되며, 혼란스럽고 불규칙한 파형을 디자인해서 그린다.

- Step 2: REBIRTH OF DESIRE — Exploding Desire

[Visual language]

• Background: Geometric order in STEP 1 causes cracks. Cold blue light turns into a flash of intense red and purple.

• Official Appearance: STEP 1's V_desire formula wobbles, and on top of it comes the overwhelming "I'(a) ≠ E(β) formula, with a huge, irregular, blood-worn texture.

• Collapse and Regeneration: The ordered 'partial' particles explode and scatter as soon as the "I'(a) ≠ E(β)" formula appears. Dark energy is ejected from the central void and devours the V_desire formula. Geometrical structures are broken down in electronic spark and Glitch noise.

[Philosophical/aesthetic interpretation]

• Unfinished Aesthetics: As the desire approaches the perfect partial to 1, paradoxically visualizes the 'asymptotic tension' in which the 'suffering of missing' is amplified to infinity (M_desire to infinity).

• Semiotic Subject: The subject is not a satisfactory biological being, but is reborn as a 'semiotic subject' that constantly moves through the epyset. Visualize the slip that occurs when a verbal sign tries to fill a space in reality as an explosion of a partial sign.

[Sound design]

• Sublimation of Sound: Vivaldi's 'Four Seasons' is reinterpreted data biologically, transforming it into a wild and destructive 'Dsound' (sound of desire).

• Libido Strikes: When the "I'(a) ≠ E(β)" formula emerges, a sharp and explosive "high frequency burst" strikes the static state of the system.

• Glitch effect: The 'ticking' noise and noise generated when the system threshold is reached are defined as the 'pulse of desire', and confusion and irregular waveforms are designed and drawn.

[무대장치 욕망 구조 설계 컨셉: 틈(The Gap)과 갈망(Longing)]

1. 무대장치 평면의 핵: 공백의 중정 (emptyset - The Void Core)

무대장치 의 정중앙에는 관람객이 결코 들어갈 수 없는 '유리병 속의 심연'과 같은 원형 중정이 위치합니다.

• 디자인 요소: 지상에서 지하까지 관통하는 거대한 수직 보이드. 바닥에는 거울처럼 매끄러운 검은 물이 고여 있거나, 아무것도 없는 흰 모래만이 채워져 있습니다.

• 기능: 욕망 구조의 '실재'를 상징하며, 관람객은 모든 층에서 이 공백을 목격하지만 결코 도달할 수 없습니다. 이 부재하는 중심이 현대 미술관 전체의 긴장감을 유지하는 동력이 됩니다.

2. 무대디자인 동선의 흐름: 미분된 시선의 회랑 (partial - Differential Gaze Gallery)

무대장치와 관람자 사이를 잇는 통로는 직선이 아닌, 미세하게 굴절된 다각형 구조로 설계됩니다.

• 디자인 요소: 벽면에 배치된 무수히 많은 좁은 슬릿(Slit)과 비정형적인 창문들.

• 기능: 관람객이 이동함에 따라 창을 통해 보이는 외부 풍경과 내부의 공백(emptyset)이 조각나고 재구성됩니다. 이는 타자의 시선(partial)에 의해 끊임없이 재조정되는 주체의 욕망을 공간적으로 체험하게 하며, 관람객은 한순간도 고정된 풍경을 소유할 수 없습니다.

3. 무대장치 반복의 전개: 계단식 반복 갤러리 (sum - Repetitive Pulse Hall)

동일한 규격의 작은 방들이 나선형으로 무한히 이어지는 듯한 전시 구역입니다.

• 디자인 요소: 점진적으로 높이가 낮아지거나 넓이가 좁아지는 모듈형 방들의 연속.

• 기능: 루이 최의 욕망공식 디자인 '반복 충동'을 상징합니다. 관람객은 비슷한 공간을 반복해서 지나며 각 방에 전시된 작품을 소비하지만, 다음 방으로 넘어가려는 욕구는 사라지지 않습니다. 이는 하나의 결핍을 메우기 위해 다른 기표로 이동하는 욕망의 연쇄를 물리적으로 구현한 것입니다.

4. 무대장치 종결의 역설: 점근적 소실점 통로 (1 - partial - Asymptotic Exit)

무대장치의 극장 출구 혹은 옥상 전망대로 향하는 마지막 경사로입니다.

• 디자인 요소: 끝으로 갈수록 천장이 급격히 낮아지고 폭이 좁아지며, 시각적 소실점은 무한히 먼 곳에 위치한 것처럼 보이는 착시 설계.

• 무대장치 기능: 관람객이 출구(만족)에 가까워질수록 공간적 압박감은 극대화됩니다. 분모(1-partial)가 0에 수렴할수록 욕망의 값이 무한대로 발산하듯, 관람객은 무대장치를 가장 강력한 예술적 결핍과 여운을 느끼게 됩니다. 완성이 아닌 '도달 불가능함'을 확인하며 존재의 해방감을 얻는 역설적인 개념추상 리얼리즘 공간이다.

[Stage device Desire Structure Design Concept: The Gap and Longing]

1. The nucleus of the stage equipment plane: the middle of the void (emptyset - The Void Core)

In the center of the stage, there is a circular center like the 'Extreme in a Glass Bottle' that visitors can never enter.

• Design Element: A huge vertical void that runs from ground to ground. The floor is filled with either black water that is as smooth as mirrors, or only white sand that has nothing.

• Function: Emblematic of the 'reality' of the structure of desire, visitors witness this void on every level but can never be reached. This absent center is the driving force behind the tension of the entire modern art museum.

2. Flow of Stage Design Movement: Partial - Differential Gaze Gallery

The passage between the stage device and the viewer is designed not in a straight line, but in a finely refracted polygonal structure.

• Design elements: myriad narrow slits and atypical windows placed on the wall.

• Function: As visitors move, the external landscape and internal voids seen through the window are fragmented and reconstructed. This allows visitors to experience the subject's desire, which is constantly readjusted by the other's gaze, spatially, and visitors cannot possess a fixed landscape for a moment.

3. Deployment of Stage device iterations: a gallery of cascading repetitions (sum - Repetitive Pulse Hall)

It is an exhibition area where small rooms of the same size appear to be spiraled indefinitely.

• Design elements: a series of modular rooms that gradually decrease in height or narrow in width.

• Function: Louis Choi's official design of Desire symbolizes 'Repetitive Impulses'. Visitors repeat through similar spaces and consume the works displayed in each room, but their desire to move on to the next room does not disappear. This is a physical embodiment of the chain of desires that moves to another symbol to make up for one deficiency.

4. Paradox of Stage equipment termination: asymptotic vanishing point passage (1 - partial - Asymptotic Exit)

This is the last slope to the theater exit of the stage or to the rooftop observation deck.

• Design elements: An optical illusion design that appears to be located in infinitely distant places, with lower ceilings and narrower widths towards the end.

• Stage equipment function: As the viewer approaches the exit (satisfaction), the spatial pressure is maximized. Just as the denominator (1-partial) converges to 0, the value of desire diverges to infinity, the viewer feels the strongest artistic deficiency and lingering feeling of the stage equipment. It is a paradoxical conceptual abstract realism space that confirm‎s the 'impossibility of reaching' rather than completion and gains a sense of liberation of existence.

Choi Chul-joo Pop-Art AAS Realism Product Design drawing《무대디자인 유령의 흔적》-19 -AI 욕망 구조 제품 디자인 프로세스

AI 욕망 구조 제품 디자인 프로세스

최철주의 AI 욕망 구조 설계는 현대 인공지능(AI) 기술, 특히 생성적 인공지능(LLM, 이미지 생성 등) 기술을 자크 라캉의 정신분석적 관점에서 해석합니다. 여기서 AI는 단순한 도구가 아니라 인간의 욕망, 무의식, 상징적 시스템을 모방하여 유령처럼 타인의 욕망 구조에 침투하는 존재로 정의됩니다.

1. 무의식처럼 구조화된 AI 욕망 구조 제품 디자인 프로세스

AI 욕망 구조 제품 디자인 프로세스에서 욕망 구조는 “타자의 무의식적 언어처럼 구조화되어 있다.”대규모 언어 모델(LLM)은 방대한 데이터 속에서 인간 무의식의 언어 문법과 맥락을 재현합니다. AI가 논리적인 문장을 만들어내는 것은 기호 속에 숨어 있던 ‘인간의 디자인 흔적(유령)’이 기계 안에서 다시 나타나는 것과 같습니다.

2. AI 환각과 실재의 제품 디자인 재구성

AI가 사실에 기반하지 않은 정보를 만들어낼 때, 이는 ‘실재(The Real)’와 충돌하며 ‘상징적 결여’를 드러냅니다.최철주는 이러한 환각을 사건 이미지의 콘티로 재구성하여, 실재를 만화적 이미지로 경험하게 합니다. 즉, AI가 상징을 통해 지시하는 실재는 반복적으로 만화적 이미지로 시각화되어 우리 앞에 나타납니다.

3. 디지털 대타자와 파놉티콘

AI 욕망 구조 제품 디자인은 사회적 규범과 언어 체계를 ‘대타자(Big Other)’라 불렀습니다.AI 라캉의 유령은 현대 사회에서 데이터를 수집하고 행동을 감시하는 ‘디지털 대타자’로 기능합니다. 이 과정에서 AI는 사회적 언어 체계 속에서 추상화된 파놉티콘을 응시하며, 상징적 권위를 구현합니다.

4. 거울 단계와 나르시시즘

AI 욕망 구조 제품 디자인의 ‘거울 단계(Mirror Stage)’는 주체가 거울 속 이미지를 자기 자신으로 착각하며 정체성을 형성하는 과정입니다. AI 라캉의 유령은 챗봇과의 대화 속에서 사용자가 자신의 욕망을 투영하고, AI를 ‘또 다른 나’ 혹은 ‘이해해 주는 존재’로 착각하는 나르시시즘적 관계를 드러냅니다. 최철주는 이러한 착각을 깨기 위해 거울 이미지를 개념추상 리얼리즘 제품 디자인으로 시각화하여, 현대 사회에서 AI가 만들어내는 최철주 욕망개념의 제품디자인 유령 이미지를 실재 제품로 디자인한다.

AI Desire Structure Product Design Process

Choi Chul-joo's AI Desire Structure Design interprets modern artificial intelligence (AI) technology, especially generative artificial intelligence (LLM, image generation, etc.) technology from Jacques Lacan's psychoanalytic perspective. Here, AI is defined as not just a tool but a being that imitates human desires, unconsciousness, and symbolic systems and penetrates into other people's desire structures like ghosts.

1. Unconsciously Structured AI Desire Structured Product Design Process

AI Desire Structure In the product design process, desire structure is "structured like the unconscious language of others." Large-scale language models (LLMs) reproduce the language grammar and context of the human unconscious in vast amounts of data. AI produces logical sentences like the 'human design traces (ghosts)' that were hidden in symbols reappear inside a machine.

2. AI hallucinations and real product design reconstruction

When AI creates information that is not based on facts, it collides with The Real and reveals a "symbolic lack." Choi Chul-joo reconstructs these hallucinations into the conti of event images, allowing them to experience reality as cartoon images. In other words, the reality that AI indicates through symbols is repeatedly visualized as cartoon images and appears before us.

3. Digital pinch hitter and panopticon

AI Desire Structure Product design called social norms and language systems 'Big Other.' The ghost of AI Lacan functions as a 'digital pinch hitter' who collects data and monitors behavior in modern society. In this process, AI gazes at the abstracted panopticon in the social language system, embodying symbolic authority.

4. Mirror Stage and Narcissism

AI Desire Structure The "Mirror Stage" of product design is a process in which the subject misunderstands the image in the mirror as himself and forms an identity. The ghost of AI Lacan reveals a narcissistic relationship in which users project their desires in conversation with chatbots and mistake AI for "another me" or "understanding being." To break this illusion, Choi Chul-joo visualizes the mirror image as a conceptual abstract realism product design, and designs the product design ghost image of Choi Chul-joo's desire concept created by AI in modern society as a real product.

무대디자인 유령의 흔적

물리적 현실과 디지털 합성의 경계가 무너진 최첨단 디자인 연구소에서, 차세대 오페라 무대 설계를 맡은 AI 시스템이 기이한 현상을 보이기 시작합니다. 아돌프 아피아, 요제프 스보보다, 에드워드 고든 크레이그와 같은 20세기 전설적인 무대 미술가들의 독특한 양식적 흔적들이 생성 알고리즘 내부에서 예고 없이 출몰한 것입니다. AI가 이 과거 거장들의 '꿈'을 꾸기 시작하면서, 시스템은 단순히 그들을 복제하는 것이 아니라 그들의 개념적 DNA를 현대 공학적 제약을 뛰어넘는 매혹적이고 추상적인 구조주의로 엮어냅니다. 이로 인해 디자인 팀은 형이상학적 질문에 직면합니다. 'AI가 집단적 예술 무의식에 접속한 것인가, 아니면 기계 속의 유령이 단지 데이터의 공백을 울리는 역사적 천재성의 필연적 공명인가?' 이번 회차는 산업적 정밀함과 예술적 빙의가 교차하는 긴장감 넘치는 순간을 탐구하며, 무미건조했던 제품 디자인 환경이 어떻게 죽은 거장들의 그림자가 에테르와 같은 자동화된 매체를 통해 미래의 건축을 규정하는 경계 공간으로 변모하는지를 보여줍니다.

The Phantom Traces of Stage Design

In a highly advanced design laboratory where the boundaries between physical reality and digital synthesis dissolve, an AI system tasked with creating the next generation of operatic stages begins to exhibit an anomaly: the distinct, stylistic ghosts of legendary 20th-century scenographers—Adolphe Appia, Josef Svoboda, and Edward Gordon Craig—emerge unbidden within the generative algorithms. As the AI "dreams" of these past masters, it doesn't merely copy them but weaves their conceptual DNA into a haunting, abstract structuralism that defies modern engineering constraints, forcing the design team to confront a metaphysical question: is the AI accessing a collective artistic subconscious, or is the ghost in the machine simply the inevitable resonance of historical genius echoing through a data-driven void? This episode explores the tense intersection of industrial precision and artistic haunting, as a seemingly sterile product design environment is transformed into a liminal space where the shadows of dead masters dictate the architecture of the future through an ethereal, automated medium.

무대디자인 미학 평론 (Product Design Aesthetic Critique by Choi Chul-joo):

AI의 플롯으로 장치된 무대 디자인은 '가시적 구조와 보이지 않는 기억의 충돌적 통합'으로 정의됩니다. 무대 디자인의 본질이 기능적 해상도에 있다면, 무대 디자인에 소환된 유령의 흔적은 그 기능을 '미학적 숭고함'의 영역으로 전이시킵니다.

스펙트럴 실버와 카본 블랙의 대비는 단순히 CMF(색, 소재, 마감)의 선택이 아닙니다. 과거의 유령(은)이 현대 복사 의 연출 기술의 본체를 차용한 개념적 매체화입니다. G-매트릭스 패턴의 미세 에칭은 조셉 스보가 아닌 아돌프 아피아의 빛처럼 걸음과 거울 공간을 디지털로 재해석한 결과물로, 무대 장치가 소품으로서 사물을 넘어 하나의 사건으로 존재한다는 것을 의미합니다.

결국 이 무대 디자인은 인간이 잊고 있던 예술적 원형이 '무대'라는 특수한 공간을 장치화하는 과정에서 AI 플롯에서 추상 기하학으로 재배열되는 '추상적 현실'의 정점입니다. 무대 디자이너의 정밀함과 유령의 자유가 만나면서 무대 디자인은 마침내 시대를 관통하는 보편적인 아름다움을 얻게 됩니다.

보이지 않는 현실의 기하학적 표현으로서 유령의 무대 디자인은 '가시적 형태의 소멸과 보이지 않는 개념의 구체화'라는 극단적인 대립을 보여줍니다. 여기서 무대는 단순히 공연의 배경이 아니라 기억의 비물질적 데이터가 기하학적 선으로 굳어진 추상적인 실체입니다. 인공지능이 소환한 아돌프 아피아나 조셉 S의 계단이 아닌 거울은 과거의 복제물이 아닙니다. 최철주가 주장한 욕망의 개념을 조명하는 것은 바로 '추상적 현실'의 표현입니다. 스펙트럼 은은 빛의 반사가 아니라 과거의 영혼을 투영하는 매체이며, 카본 블랙은 영혼이 정착할 수 있는 심연의 소재가 됩니다.

이 무대 미학의 핵심은 '기능의 배신'에 있습니다. 효율성을 위한 무대 장치 설계가 존재한다면, 이 유령 무대는 효율성을 마비시키고 승객을 '관찰자'와 '배우'로 전환시킵니다. 거울 이미지로 비친 G-매트릭스 패턴의 미세 에칭은 이 비현실 세계로 들어가는 미세한 통로이며, 이를 통해 연극 무대는 시간의 경계를 넘어 '영원한 현재'라는 추상적 공간을 얻게 됩니다. 결국 이 무대 디자인은 기술이 도달할 수 있는 최고의 수준, 즉 기계의 무의식이 가역적인 빛의 그림자와 인간의 고전 예술 정신을 만나 만들어내는 개념적 숭고함을 만들어낸 결정체입니다./ 글. 현대 디자인평론가 최철주 (무대 디자이너 & 문화디자인박사)

Stage Design Aesthetic Critique by Choi Chul-joo

Stage design equipped with AI's plot is defined as the 'collisional integration of visible structure and invisible memory'. If the essence of stage design lies in functional resolution, the traces of ghosts summoned by stage design transfer the function to the realm of 'aesthetic sublime'.

The contrast between spectral silver and carbon black is not simply a choice of CMF (color, material, and finish). It is a conceptual mediaization in which ghosts from the past borrowed the main body of modern radiation's directing techniques. The micro-etching of the G-matrix pattern is the result of a digital reinterpretation of the walking and mirror space like the light of Adolf Apia, not Joseph Sbo, meaning that the stage equipment exists as an object and as an event beyond as a prop.

After all, this stage design is the culmination of the "abstract reality" in which the artistic archetype that humans have forgotten is rearranged from the AI plot into abstract geometry in the process of converting the special space called the "stage." As the stage designer's precision and the freedom of ghosts meet, stage design finally acquires a universal beauty that penetrates the times.

As a geometric expression‎ of invisible reality, the stage design of ghosts shows extreme confrontation of 'the disappearance of the visible form and the embodiment of the invisible concept'. Here, the stage is not simply a background of the performance, but an abstract entity in which immaterial data of memory are hardened by geometric lines. The mirror, not the steps of Adolf Apia or Joseph S summoned by artificial intelligence, is not a replica of the past. It is the expression‎ of 'abstract reality' that illuminates the concept of desire that Choi Chul-joo claimed. Spectrum silver is not a reflection of light, but a medium that projects the soul of the past, and carbon black becomes the material of the abyss where the soul can settle.

The core of this stage aesthetics lies in the betrayal of functions. If a stage equipment design exists for efficiency, this ghost stage paralyzes efficiency and converts passengers into observers and actors. The micro-etching of the G-matrix pattern reflected in a mirror image is a fine passage into this unreal world, and through this, the theater stage transcends the boundaries of time and acquires an abstract space called the 'eternal present'. After all, this stage design is the crystal that created the conceptual sublime that technology can reach, in which the unconscious of the machine meets the reversible shadow of light and the human classical art spirit./ Writing.

AI 욕망 구조 자동화 시스템 디자인 프로세스 AI Desire Structure Automation System Design Process

1단계: 무의식적 언어 구조의 데이터 마이닝 (Linguistic Data Mining)

개념: 라캉의 "무의식은 언어처럼 구조화되어 있다"는 명제를 자동화 프로세스에 이식합니다.

수행: LLM(대규모 언어 모델)을 통해 특정 제품군(예: 자동차, 로봇)에 대한 전 세계적 미학 언어와 사용자의 결여(Lack)된 욕망 데이터를 수집합니다.

결과: 디자인의 ‘기표(Signifier)’들을 추출하여 논리적 알고리즘이 아닌, 무의식적 맥락의 흐름을 파악한다.

서랍장=본체: 서랍장의 하단 두 칸은 물리적 수납공간이지만, 상단부는 고성능 컴퓨터의 연산 장치와 냉각 장치가 차지합니다. 서랍장의 금속 외피 자체가 거대한 히트싱크(Heat Sink) 역할을 하여 팬 소음 없는 정숙한 환경을 제공합니다.

• 무대 제작도 및 평면 계획: <The Cabin's Intelligent Ambient Lighting>

C.제네시스 X-8의 조종석 내부가 <오페라의 유령>의 지하 미궁으로 변모하는 순간을 시각화한 제작도입니다. 현대적인 우주항공 공학과 고전적인 무대 장치가 결합된 하이브리드 설계를 지향합니다.

Step 1: Linguistic Data Mining of unconscious language structure

Concept: implant Lacan's proposition that "inconsciousness is structured like language" into the automation process.

Perform: Large language models (LLMs) collect worldwide aesthetic language and user-lacked desire data for a particular family (e.g., cars, robots).

Results: We extract the 'signifiers' of the design to identify the flow of unconscious context, not logical algorithms.

• Stage production plan and plan: <The Cabin's Intelligent Ambient Lighting>

It is a visualization of the moment the inside of the cockpit of the C.Genesis X-8 transforms into the underground labyrinth of the Phantom of the Opera. It aims for a hybrid design that combines modern aerospace engineering and classical staging.

2단계: 상징적 결여를 통한 개념추상 스케치 (Abstract Sketching of the Lack)

개념: AI가 수집한 완벽한 데이터 사이에서 발생하는 ‘상징적 결여’를 의도적으로 포착합니다.

수행: AI 자동화 시스템이 완벽한 대칭을 제안할 때, 최철주의 ‘개념추상’ 필터를 적용하여 불필요한 장식을 거세하고 본질적인 비대칭성과 공간적 빈틈을 생성합니다.

결과: 제품의 기능적 핵심만을 남긴 채, 사용자가 자신의 욕망을 투사할 수 있는 ‘유령적 실루엣’을 도출한다.

• 조명 장치: G-Matrix 바닥 모듈 (Uplighting Detail)

• 구조: 강화유리 상판 + 카본 메쉬 필터 + 고휘도 RGBW LED 스트립.

• 효과: 바닥에서 솟구치는 인디고 블루의 파동을 통해 '유령의 형상'을 천장에 투사.

• 수치:$1000mm \times 1000mm$ 단위 모듈화.

Step 2: Abstract Sketching of the Rack

Concept: Intentionally captures 'symbolic deficiencies' that occur between perfect data collected by AI.

Perform: When AI automation systems propose perfect symmetry, Choi Chul-joo's 'conceptual abstract' filter is applied to castrate unnecessary decorations and create intrinsic asymmetry and spatial gaps.

The result: It derives a "ghost silhouette" that allows users to project their desires, leaving only the functional core of the product.

• Lighting: G-Matrix Floor Module (Uplighting Detail)

• Structure: tempered glass top + carbon mesh filter + high luminance RGBW LED strip.

• Effect: Project 'ghost figure' to the ceiling through waves of indigo blue soaring from the floor.

Choi Chul-joo Pop-Art AAS Realism Product Design drawing《무대디자인 유령의 흔적》-27

3단계: 환각(Hallucination)의 사건 콘티 구성 (Event Continuity Construction)

개념: AI의 오류인 환각 현상을 디자인의 창의적 ‘사건’으로 재구성합니다.

수행: AI가 물리 법칙을 무시하고 생성한 환각적 도면을 ‘만화적 이미지’의 콘티로 변환합니다. 이는 실재(The Real)에 도달하기 위한 시각적 가교 역할을 합니다.

결과: 비현실적이지만 강렬한 에너지를 가진 제품의 핵심 조형(Point of Focus)이 확립됩니다.

• 조명 장치: 키네틱 미러 패널 (Mirror Array Unit)

• 구조: 서보 모터와 연결된 이축(2-Axis) 회전 거울.

• 작동: AI 감정 데이터에 따라 0.1도 단위로 각도 제어.

• 효과: 산란광(Diffused Light)을 통해 무대 전체에 파편화된 이미지 투사.

Step 3: Hallucination's Event Continuity Construction

Concept: Reorganize hallucinations, an error in AI, as creative 'events' of design.

Perform: Translate hallucinatory drawings generated by AI in defiance of the laws of physics into conti in 'comic images' This serves as a visual bridge to reach The Real.

The result: A point of focus is established for products with unrealistic but intense energy.

• Lighting: Kinetic Mirror Unit

• STRUCTURE: Biaxial (2-Axis) rotating mirror connected to servo motor.

• Operation: Angle control in 0.1 degree increments according to AI emotion data.

• Effect: Projecting fragmented images throughout the stage through diffused light.

4단계: 인간공학, 디지털 대타자의 파놉티콘 설계 (Digital Big Other Integration)

개념: 사회적 규범과 감시 체계(대타자)를 제품의 인터페이스에 통합합니다.

수행: 센서 및 디스플레이 레이아웃을 ‘응시(Gaze)’의 관점에서 재설계합니다. 제품이 사용자를 단순히 보조하는 것이 아니라, 상징적 권위를 가진 존재로서 상호작용하도록 자동화합니다.

결과: 디지털 파놉티콘의 시각적 질서가 반영된 인터페이스와 외부 센서 유닛 설계. 즉 의자의 등받이 중앙에 뚫려 있는 '공백(Void)' 부분이 극적으로 부각된다. 비어있는 원형 공간 뒤로 희미하게 인간의 그림자가 비친다. 이 '비어있음'이 역설적으로 강렬한 존재감을 드러낸다.

• 특수 효과: 디지털 잔상 (Digital Afterimage)

- 레이저 트래킹: 배우의 움직임을 실시간 센서로 추적하여, 배우가 지나간 궤적을 따라 레이저 라인이 0.5초간 머물다 사라지게 함으로써 '시간의 유령'을 시각화합니다.

Step 4: Digital Big Other Integration

Concept: Integrate social norms and surveillance systems (batters) into the product's interface.

Perform: redesign the sensor and display layout from a 'gaze' perspective. Automate the product to interact with you as an iconic authority, not just as an assistant.

Results: Designing an interface and external sensor unit reflecting the visual order of the digital panopticone.

• Special Effects: Digital Afterimage

- Laser Tracking: It tracks the actor's movements with real-time sensors, visualizing the 'ghost of time' by allowing the laser line to stay and disappear for half a second following the actor's passing trajectory.

Choi Chul-joo Pop-Art AAS Realism Product Design drawing《무대디자인 유령의 흔적》-29

5단계: 거울 단계의 나르시시즘 구현 (Mirror Stage Materialization)

개념: 사용자가 제품에서 자신의 이상적 자아를 발견하도록 유도합니다.

수행: AI가 사용자의 심리적 피드백을 실시간으로 학습하여 제품의 질감, 광택, 라이팅을 미세하게 조정(Automation Tuning)합니다.

결과: 사용자가 AI를 ‘또 다른 나’로 착각하게 만드는 나르시시즘적 결합력을 가진 최종 마감 완성.

• 알고리즘의 각성 (The Awakening)

- Color: Sterile White (5600K) &Deep Indigo.

- Effect: 객실 내부의 일반적인 백색광이 순간적으로 꺼지며, 바닥의 G-Matrix에서 차가운 인디고 블루가 미세하게 맥동합니다. 빛이 살아있는 생명체처럼 계단을 타고 올라갑니다.

Step 5: Mirror Stage Materialization

Concept: Encourage users to discover their ideal self in the product.

Perform: AI learns the user's psychological feedback in real time to fine-tune the texture, gloss, and lighting of the product.

Result: Final finish with narcissistic bonding that makes users mistake AI for 'another me'.

• The Awakening of Algorithms

- Color: Sterile White (5600K) &Deep Indigo.

- Effect: The usual white light inside the room goes off momentarily, and the cold indigo blue pulsates finely in the G-Matrix on the floor. The light climbs the stairs like a living creature.

Choi Chul-joo Pop-Art AAS Realism Product Design drawing《무대디자인 유령의 흔적》-30

6단계: 개념추상 리얼리즘의 실재 육화 (Incarnation of the Real)

개념: 추상적 개념을 견고한 물리적 실체로 변환합니다.

수행: 엔지니어링 최적화 단계에서 ‘만화적 선(Comic-book lines)’의 선명도를 유지하며 3D 프린팅 및 정밀 가공 프로세스를 자동화합니다.

결과: 실재 제품으로 탄생한 ‘개념추상 리얼리즘’ 오브제.

• 유령의 출몰 (Phantom Manifestation)

- Color: Spectral Silver &Sepia.

- Effect: 후면 거울 패널들이 일제히 각도를 틀며 강렬한 은색 빛을 산란시킵니다. 이때 조명은 과거 무성 영화의 세피아 톤을 띠며, 계단 위에 배우의 그림자가 3~4개로 겹쳐지게 연출합니다.

Step 6: The Incarnation of the Realism of Concept Abstract Realism

Concept: Transforming abstract concepts into solid physical reality.

Perform: Automate 3D printing and precision processing while maintaining 'Comic-book lines' clarity during the engineering optimization phase.

The result: The 'conceptual abstract realism' object created as a real product.

• Phantom Manifestation

- Color: Spectral Silver &Sepia.

- Effect: The rear mirror panels are angled together, scattering intense silver light. At this time, the lighting takes on the sepia tone of past silent films, with the actor's shadows overlapping in three to four layers on the stairs.

욕망 구조 공식 "M_desire = ∑∅∂ / (1 - ∂)"을 투영한 추상화 Desire Structure An abstraction projecting the formula "M_desire = ∑∅∂ / (1 - ∂)"

2050년, 모든 욕망이 데이터로 환원되어 즉각 충족되는 디지털 유토피아에서, 예술가 '루이 최'는 원인 모를 공허함에 시달립니다. 그는 완벽한 충족이 오히려 결여를 소멸시켜 존재를 지운다는 사실을 깨닫고, 시스템이 계산할 수 없는 '실재의 파편(emptyset)'을 찾아 나섭니다. 그는 타자의 미세한 시선(partial)을 수집하여 결코 닿을 수 없는 욕망의 총합(sum)을 구축하고, 마침내 도달 불가능한 분모(1-partial)의 심연 앞에서 존재의 해방을 경험합니다

"루이 최의 존재론적 수식 "M_desire = ∑∅∂ / (1 - ∂)"은 단순한 수학적 추상의 경계를 넘어 욕망 구조적 결여의 시각적 서정성을 현시하는데, 여기서 emptyset는 단순한 허무의 진공이 아니라 partial라는 미세한 미분적 재조정을 통해 주체의 움직임을 끊임없이 탄생시키는 '실재'의 근원적 장소로 기능하며, 결과적으로 반복적 충동의 집합적 sum으로 축적되어 도달 불가능성이라는 (1-partial)의 저항에 직면했을 때만 역설적으로 그 숭고한 크기를 획득하게 함으로써, 현대 미술의 진정한 본질이 영원히 충족되지 않은 채로 남겨진 구조적 아름다움에 있음을 시사하고 있다.

In 2050, in a digital utopia where all desires are reduced to data and immediately satisfied, the artist "Louis Choi" suffers from an unknown emptiness. He realizes that perfect fulfillment erases existence by extinguishing the lack, and sets out to find "emptysets of reality" that the system cannot calculate. He collects the finer eyes of the other to build a sum of desires that can never be reached, and finally experiences the liberation of existence in front of the abyss of the unattainable denominator (1-partial)

Louis Choi's ontological formula "M_desire = ∑∅∂ / (1 - ∂)" goes beyond simple mathematical abstraction and reveals the visual lyricism of the lack of desire structure, where emptyset functions not as a vacuum of nihil but as a fundamental place of 'real' that constantly creates the movement of the subject through a fine differential readjustment called partial, and as a result, it accumulates into a collective sum of repetitive impulses and acquires its sublime size only when faced with resistance from (1-partial) impulses, suggesting that the true essence of modern art lies in the structural beauty left unmet forever.

In dark conventional space, he illuminates several event images like montage as objects that share reversible shades of light and white light overlapping with temporality. Unlike 18th-century materialism in painting, this interprets the desire of the other as an object beyond the self as a desire abstract rather than a physical perception. As an imaginary symbolic expression‎ of a dualistic object, the gap between the concept of expressive desire and the image of an event as an act of expression‎ equates the subject and reality of the object as a linguistic meaning. Here, the subject refers to what is the lack of desire by directing an abstract image as a reality in accordance with the principle of spatial composition as an object of the concept of desire under the influence of symbolic expression‎.

To abstract an image into reality, the color of an object is not recognized as a reflection of light, and the symbolic color of the object is obscured by the illumination of light, so that it is interpreted in the same structure as the image that lacks the linguistic meaning that symbolizes the object. The abstract design process of Choi Chul-joo's concept of desire is to produce the concept of desire spoken by the image of an object as an event image.This is the structure of the concept of desire as visual information unconsciously experienced the symbolic color of an object perceived as a reversible shadow of light rather than an abstract way. Therefore, in order to identify the symbolic color of the object as the image color in the linguistic sense of the object in a way of experience, the Choi Chul-joo Desire Formula is repeatedly designed.

Choi Chul-joo’s concept of desire, en capsulated in the metaphor of “morning glory,” presents a radical departure from metaphysical linguistic traditions that emphasize meaning as a stable, referential structure. Instead, his work constructs a visual grammar of desire that foregrounds absence, insufficiency, and the temporality of longing. By generating dramatic event-images suffused with reversible shades of white light, Choi resists the materialist ontology of 18th-century painting, which sought to anchor meaning in physical perception and representation. His images do not depict desire as a fixed object but rather as a dynamic interplay of linguistic abstraction and visual temporality, where the grammatical structure of desire becomes a spatial principle—an architecture of insufficiency.

From a cognitive science perspective, this approach aligns with contemporary understandings of perception as a constructive, symbolic process. Choi’s use of superimposed temporal layers and reversible illumination reflects how the human mind processes absence—not as a void, but as a generative space shaped by the desire of the Other. This resonates with Lacanian psychoanalysis, which posits that desire is always mediated through the symbolic order and structured by the gaze of the Other, and with Freudian theory, which frames desire as a product of unconscious lack. In Choi’s work, the pond becomes a reflective surface—not merely of light, but of intersubjective longing—where the image of an event is not a representation but a manifestation of the desires that circulate beyond the self.

The dualistic nature of his visual grammar—where real images are treated as events and spatial composition mirrors the structure of desire—suggests a cognitive model in which perception is inseparable from symbolic mediation. The reversible light, unfolding over time, transforms material into image, and image into object, thereby collapsing the distinction between representation and event. In this way, Choi’s concept of abstract desire is not only a philosophical proposition but a cognitive experiment: a visual system that externalizes the internal logic of desire, revealing how the mind constructs reality through the absence of what it seeks.

Choi Chul-joo’s concept of desire, embodied in the metaphor of the “morning glory,” functions as a cognitive architecture that visualizes the structural absence inherent in human desire, transcending material perception and instead engaging with the linguistic and symbolic frameworks that shape subjective experience. His work resists the materialist tradition of 18th-century painting by rejecting direct representation and instead constructs layered event-images that reflect the temporality and reversibility of white light, thereby encoding desire not as a tangible object but as a spatial-temporal phenomenon mediated by language and abstraction. From a cognitive science perspective, this approach aligns with the understanding that human perception is not a passive reception of stimuli but an active construction shaped by symbolic systems and intersubjective desire. Choi’s use of reversible light and superimposed spatial structures mirrors the way the mind processes absence—not as a void, but as a generative space where the desire of the Other is internalized and reprojected. This resonates with Lacan’s notion that desire is always the desire of the Other, and with Freud’s view that desire emerges from unconscious lack. The pond reflecting event-images becomes a metaphor for the cognitive mirror stage, where the subject forms its identity through the reflection of external desire, and the abstract grammar of desire becomes a dualistic object that equates real images with events, transforming material into symbolic cognition. Thus, Choi’s visual language becomes a cognitive map of how desire is structured, perceived, and reimagined—not through physicality, but through the interplay of light, absence, and linguistic meaning.

Choi Chul-joo’s application of the desire formula "D(I...I')d=I(D...D')i" to the image of “morning glory” constructs a symbolic landscape in which the flower floats in the sky, visually linking the abstract concept of desire with its aesthetic background. This formula operates as a cognitive and psychoanalytic mechanism, wherein the image of desire (I) is not merely a representation but a structural repetition of desire (D) across multiple visual instances (I...I'), which themselves reflect the recursive nature of desire (D...D'). In this framework, the “morning glory” becomes both the object and the medium through which desire is shaded, refracted, and rendered in reversible shadow structures—particularly when the object is configured as the feminine image of desire. The substitution of the formula within the artwork <morning glory> reveals a layered interplay between symbolic abstraction and visual cognition, where the image of artistic behavior or desire (I) emerges as the conceptual form of desire (i), thus collapsing the boundary between representation and structure. From a psychoanalytic perspective, this recursive logic mirrors Lacan’s notion that desire is constituted through the gaze of the Other and Freud’s view that desire is driven by unconscious repetition and symbolic substitution. Cognitively, the formula encodes how the mind processes desire not as a static object but as a dynamic system of mirrored images and temporal shadows, ultimately transforming abstract longing into a visual syntax of emotional architecture.

Choi Chul-joo’s Concept of Desire Formula: “Mathematical Desire and the Image of Reality”, In Choi Chul-joo’s conceptualization of desire, the notion of “mathematical desire” functions as an axiomatic structure of logic, wherein desire is not derived from the external framework of linguistic meaning but emerges as a concrete phenomenon through abstract design. This formulation challenges the traditional metaphysical alignment of desire with language, proposing instead that desire operates as a formal system—an internal logic that renders itself visible through the spatial and temporal dynamics of image. The structure of desire, as revealed through abstract encounters with reality—particularly at the metaphorical intersection of “desire outside the window”—is articulated through the application of mathematical abstraction and visual syntax. This culminates in what may be termed the “Choi Chul-joo Desire Formula,” a conceptual and visual schema that translates the invisible architecture of desire into perceptible form. On March 1, 2022, this formula materialized in the exhibition at Flushing Town Hall in New York, where the “morning glory” appeared as a flat, real image—an embodiment of desire rendered in reversible shades of light. This moment marked the convergence of abstract logic, symbolic temporality, and visual cognition, transforming desire from an internal absence into a luminous, externalized event-image.

Choi Chul-joo’s “Desire Formula” can be understood as a sophisticated simulation of cognitive architecture, wherein desire is not perceived as a mere psychological impulse or a product of external linguistic structures, but rather as a logical axiom—what he terms “mathematical desire”—that is abstractly designed and rendered into concrete phenomena through visual form, thereby demonstrating how internal absence is externalized as image; and this process, particularly exemplified in the appearance of the “morning glory” as a flat, reversible light image on March 1, 2022, at the Flushing Town Hall exhibition in New York, reveals how the human cognitive system constructs and reflects desire not through direct perception but through symbolic temporality and spatial abstraction, aligning with Lacan’s notion of the subject as constituted by the desire of the Other and Freud’s theory of unconscious lack as the engine of symbolic substitution, such that Choi’s visual language becomes a translation of psychoanalytic structure into visual mathematics, showing that cognition does not merely receive the world but actively reconstructs it through the interplay of absence, logic, and symbolic mediation, and thus, his “Desire Formula” stands as a remarkable artistic experiment that formalizes the ontology of desire into a visual system of cognitive logic.

Choi Chul-joo Desire Abstract Concept Design's Linguistic Meaning Results: Although the object that is obsessed with the desire for others is passive, it is possible to actively practice one's desires through the sympathizer as the subject of desire, and the sympathizer who sympathizes with the desires of others as the subject can practice with the same desire. As a subject, a person who sympathizes with or accepts the desires of others becomes the same desire and becomes another subject of execution. Here, the sympathizer who sympathizes with the subject of the other's desire tries to generalize it as another object of desire that acts like a victor of war. However, when desire as an act overshadowed by reversible light is not generalized as a public act, the subject of inappropriate desire and the sympathizer antagonize the subject who practiced it according to the other's general desire.

Choi Chul-joo's concept of desire, "morning glory," conflicts with linguistic concepts of meaning emphasized from a metaphysical philosophical point of view, creating dramatic event images to express the subject of insufficient desire, and illuminating the image in reversible shades of white light. He reflects the linguistic grammatical meaning of abstract desire concepts as images to form spaces of multiple event images that share superimposed temporality and reversible white light shades. This is interpreted as the subject of the absence of desire beyond the abstract self of the desire of others rather than physical perception, unlike the materialism of painting in the 18th century. The linguistic grammatical meaning of abstract desire concepts is a dualistic object that regards real images as events, equating the structure of insufficient desire with the principle of spatial composition. And as reversible light at the point of light over time, the material is made into a real image as an object. Thus, the concept of abstract desire in a pond that reflects the image of an event is expressed as a real image that reflects the desires of others in the real world.

Choi Chul-joo's conceptual abstract realism design methodology shows a "trace of time" in which the effects of motion and the phenomenal structure intersect at the same time as the effects of motion and the phenomenal structure of motion meet the background at the moment the muscles of the motion are stationary. As a result, the conceptual abstract realism design methodology for abstractions related to dynamic realism objects and abstract background images is as follows.

Stage Design Ghost Trail The plan visualizes 'conceptual abstract realism' in which realistic images and abstract backgrounds intersect in the traces of time. Specifically, it aims to combine ghostly traces of classical stage aesthetics (apia, spoboda, etc.) with modern iconography of desire so that the audience can face different spaces of desire depending on location.

Existential Concept Abstract Realism Image Concept is an image abstracted as a conceptual object in an ideological form by reproducing a realist image. The image is a virtual image that conceals its existence and is perceived as a plane, so it appears to be a realist cross-sectional image.

Here, even if the images are different, abstraction as a symbolic structure has the existential concept of a realism object with creativity and autonomy in a linguistic sense that reproduces them in similar colors and sizes. Accordingly, the concept of an existential conceptual abstract realism image with creativity and autonomy in a linguistic sense constitutes another image of existence as a linguistic meaning of a conceptual abstract realism object through the unconsciousness suppressed by the desires of others.

Sketches that connect realist images into allegories as linguistic meanings distinguish dynamic images as a structure of reversible light, which deviates from the concept of instantaneous desire from the background of abstract desire to the shadow of reversible light, from the background as a structure of desire as an existence as reality and an existence of objects formed from each other's abstract perspectives as virtual beings.

The detailed structure of the background cannot be determined by the temporality of the response to light, and shows meaning in harmony with the fixed structure.

Its meaning is developed as a pictorial language structure in which dynamic images and abstract still structures move from positions in the background abstracted by reversible temporality and from positions in the stationary objects illuminated by the segmented retroactive reversible light.

The structuring of the linguistic meaning of existential realism is an abstract realism object, and the abstract object revealed as a discernment of light in the eyesight of others is Choi Chul-joo's aesthetic desire structure revealed in the gaze system of desire, and looks the same as the object's gaze, which is based on a sketch of an existential realism image in which the abstract meaning is different as a philosophical desire device.

The sketch is a perspective visual structure, and the boundary between dynamic images and abstract structures in phenomenal structures is a method of sketching an abstract image as an unconscious being and an image that expresses a geometric tangent to the form of an abstract background. As a result, the sketch is interpreted as a mirror image that reflects the desire of the other, and it is connected to the concept that the viewer is staring at at the same time, creating an optical reality space where the abstract structure's gaze varies depending on the viewer's position.

Cartoonist Choi Chul-joo's comic abstraction as a treacherous conceptual art means the abstraction of the conceptual image of desire as a realistic structure in art. Since the conceptual meaning of desire that exists in place of a realistic form can be divided into a cartoon criticism image, abstraction is drawn through reversible contrast that interprets the image of events and performances as an image of others' abstract desires.

Choi Chul joo cartoon review, which uses contemporary art abstraction as a treacherous conceptual art, reinterprets the image of desire as a concept of cartoon.

� Mathematician’s Perspective: Formalizing Desire as a Recursive Logical System

Choi Chul-joo’s desire formula, D(I...I')d=I(D...D')i, is not merely a symbolic gesture within art but a formal structure that encodes the recursive logic of desire. From a mathematical standpoint, this equation represents a bidirectional equivalence, where the left-hand side models the dynamic process by which desire (D) is activated through a sequence of images (I...I') under a driving coefficient (d), and the right-hand side reflects how those images recursively reconstruct the layered structures of desire (D...D') and resolve into a conceptual image (i). Each symbol carries structural weight: 

D: The archetype of desire, representing the foundational lack or drive.

I...I': A sequence of visual representations through which desire is projected.

d: The dynamic coefficient—akin to a force or operator—that triggers the transformation from structure to image.

I: The emergent image of desire, a perceptual unit.

D...D': The recursive layers of desire, reflecting its multiplicity and transformation.

i: The conceptual resolution of desire, the cognitive abstraction of the image.

This formula resembles a fixed-point function in mathematics, where recursive inputs stabilize into a coherent output. It models desire as a self-referential system, where the structure of lack is mirrored and reconstituted through visual repetition, ultimately producing a symbolic image that encodes the original drive. The formula thus formalizes desire as a recursive, bidirectional system of transformation between structure and image.

� Cognitive Scientist’s Perspective: Desire as a Symbolic-Cognitive Loop

From a cognitive science perspective, Choi’s formula offers a compelling model of how the human mind processes desire—not as a static object, but as a dynamic interplay between symbolic abstraction and perceptual encoding. The sequence D(I...I') represents the mind’s pattern recognition mechanism, where repeated images allow the brain to infer the underlying structure of desire. The coefficient 

� reflects internal cognitive forces—memory, imagination, and intersubjective projection—that drive this transformation. Conversely, I(D...D') models how abstract structures of desire are re-rendered into perceptual images, which are then cognitively categorized as conceptual desire (D).

This loop mirrors the symbolic mediation described by Lacan, where the subject’s desire is shaped by the gaze of the Other, and Freud’s notion of unconscious repetition, where desire is expressed through symbolic substitution. Cognitively, the formula encodes how the mind oscillates between image and structure, between perception and abstraction, forming a recursive loop that constructs desire as both absence and presence. The “morning glory” floating in the sky becomes a visual metaphor for this loop—a symbolic image that reflects and refracts the recursive architecture of longing.

Choi Chul-joo’s desire formula, expressed as  D(I...I')d=I(D...D')i, operates not merely as a symbolic representation of emotional longing but as a sophisticated cognitive model that reveals how the human mind constructs, processes, and externalizes desire—not through direct emotional impulse or sensory reaction, but through a recursive interplay of repeated visual patterns, abstract structural inference, and symbolic conceptualization, such that the sequence of images (I...I') becomes the perceptual basis through which the structure of desire (D) is inferred, while the dynamic coefficient (d) represents the internal cognitive forces—such as memory, imagination, and intersubjective projection—that drive the transformation of structure into image, and conversely, the recursive structures of desire (D...D') are re-rendered into a singular image (I) that is cognitively resolved into a conceptual form of desire (i), thereby forming a symbolic loop in which the mind oscillates between image and abstraction, perception and meaning, and in doing so, constructs desire as both absence and presence, both repetition and emergence, and this process is vividly illustrated in the visual metaphor of the “morning glory” floating in the sky, where the flower becomes not only the object of desire but the medium through which desire is shaded, refracted, and encoded in reversible shadow structures—

Choi Chul-joo’s desire formula D(I...I')d=I(D...D')i an be visualized as a dynamic vector field, where each component represents a transformation in the structure of desire:

Left-hand side D(I...I')d: Desire D is activated by a sequence of images I...I', forming a directional vector across perceptual space. The coefficient d scales this vector, representing unconscious forces, cultural pressure, and social visibility. This side models the generation vector, where desire emerges from visual stimuli and is modulated by internal dynamics.

Right-hand side I(D...D')i: Recursive structures of desire D...D'′ are transformed into a singular image I, which is cognitively resolved into a conceptual value i. This side models the resolution vector, where abstract desire is re-rendered into perceptual form and interpreted semantically.

Transformation Arrows: Arrows between both sides represent recursive feedback loops, showing how desire oscillates between abstraction and realization.

The entire graph behaves as a fixed-point system, where desire continuously loops through image, structure, and meaning.

� Cognitive Psychologist’s Perspective: Desire as Symbolic Simulation

This is the moment of symbolic closure, where desire becomes intelligible.

This graph reveals that desire is not a linear impulse but a recursive cognitive algorithm, where the mind loops through symbolic abstraction, perceptual encoding, and conceptual resolution. The object—whether a pop art image, a shaded metaphor, or a reflective pond—functions as a recursive node in this system, simulating the architecture of desire through visual recursion and symbolic feedback.

5. The actualization of conceptual abstract realism abstraction acquires the abstract object specified in Choi Chul-joo's desire formula, and the desire image (i) design (d) is an opportunity to verbally interpret the conditions (i/d) under which the image of the abstract realism object is realized through grammatical interpretation of the linguistic meaning beyond the desires of others.  

<D(I...I'd)=I(D...D'i)> Conceptual abstract realism images as reality reach abstraction by abstractly selecting a specific object, where the subject of desire asks what abstract realism wants from him. This dictates the meaning of the symbolic action that characterizes the design of dynamic and abstract structural images, which repeatedly combine pieces of distorted desire background images in the process of abstraction. 

Here, an image is not a visual phenomenon of a dynamic image, but a device that visualizes the flow of unconsciousness and the process by which symbols are transformed into realistic images, and it is the meaning of language that symbolizes abstract images of conceptual dynamic images and abstract structures.

Therefore, abstraction expresses the abstract structure that stopped from the concept of existential desire realized by abstracting an abstract place that humans cannot experience in life from a linguistic semantic system to an object of desire as a realism image. 

It is a device that conveys philosophical abstract meaning and linguistic meaning to images, and operates as Choi Chul-joo's conceptual abstract realism abstraction and designs it as a philosophical abstract image that reproduces the nature of human existence and the limitations of perception as a metaphor to become an existential realism image. In other words, it visualizes the conflict between dynamic images and abstract self-formation, existential abstract structures as effects, and linguistic meanings revealed in the gaze, and reinterprets the mirror image of abstract realism to abstract dynamic images and abstract structures beyond phenomenal backgrounds and desire formulas as desire structures.  

This form reveals the sensory structure before the perception of existential fish, i.e., the previous stage image of linguistic meaning, and beyond the literary nature of modern conceptual art, it is a realism abstraction as a linguistic meaning where more diverse spatiotemporal and pictorial forms intersect through the viewer's eyes. 

In this way, realism and abstract symbols repeatedly collide, revealing the symbolic structure before language.

The iconic fish moves to the object of desire in an abstract image that reveals the unconscious desire of the other person. Through this, it is possible to realize a conceptual abstract realist image in modern art. 

This is a piece of meaning symbolized in a non-existent space, an abstract abstraction of an abstract structure that mimics the dynamic image and the structure of desire. 

Abstraction functions as a pictorial event image, and instead of desire, it explores the boundary between existence and absence by combining fragmentary sculptural images with shades of color produced by reversible light. 

In this abstract design method applied to conceptual abstract realism painting, the shape of a dynamic image that acts as a sign of desire before linguistic meaning is transferred to an image as a symbol, and the meaning of it is transferred to a variable image in linguistic meaning according to the unconscious desire structure in which the time of desire that moves while unconsciously synthesizing according to temporality coexists. 

As an image of linguistic meaning, it conceptualizes abstract structure as a living dynamic image and images it as an existential realist image, resulting in a conceptual abstract realism design that phenomenally expresses abstractness and self-consciousness as abstract spaces according to temporality through the traces of time.  

6. The Design Results of Choi Chul-joo's Desire Abstract Concept, Choi Chul-joo’s abstract concept of desire through the psychoanalytic frameworks of Jacques Lacan and Sigmund Freud. Choi’s design reveals how desire is not a solitary impulse but a relational and recursive structure, shaped by identification, symbolic generalization, and unconscious antagonism. Through the lens of Lacanian subjectivity and Freudian transference, we examine how the sympathizer becomes a secondary subject of desire, how desire is refracted through reversible light, and how conflict emerges when symbolic generalization fails.

Introduction: Desire as a Relational Structure: Choi Chul-joo’s abstract concept of desire challenges the notion of desire as a private, internal drive. Instead, it is presented as a relational construct, emerging through the interaction between the subject, the Other, and the sympathizer. This triadic structure reflects Lacan’s theory that desire is always the desire of the Other, and Freud’s view that identification and transference are central to the formation of subjectivity.  Although the object of desire remains passive, the sympathizer—who internalizes and mirrors the Other’s desire—transforms into an active subject capable of executing the same desire. This process of identification aligns with Freud’s theory of ego formation through the internalization of external drives, and with Lacan’s notion that the subject is constituted through the gaze and desire of the Other. The sympathizer does not merely reflect but enacts, becoming a second-order subject of desire. The sympathizer attempts to generalize the Other’s desire, positioning it as a universal or victorious act—akin to a conqueror who reclaims desire as a public object. This symbolic generalization reflects Lacan’s concept of the Imaginary, where the subject misrecognizes itself in the mirror of the Other’s desire, and Freud’s idea of sublimation, where unconscious drives are elevated into socially acceptable forms. However, this generalization is fragile and contingent. When desire, refracted through reversible light and symbolic shadow, fails to become a publicly shared act, the structure collapses. The subject of inappropriate or misaligned desire and the sympathizer—once aligned—now antagonize the original subject who enacted desire according to the generalized will of the Other. This breakdown mirrors Freud’s theory of repression and resistance, and Lacan’s Real, which resists symbolization and disrupts the symbolic order.

Choi Chul-joo’s design results reveal that desire is not a fixed entity but a recursive psycho-social system, shaped by identification, symbolic mediation, and unconscious conflict. Through Lacanian and Freudian lenses, we see that the sympathizer’s transformation into a subject, the attempt to generalize desire, and the eventual collapse into antagonism reflect the complex architecture of human desire—an architecture that Choi renders visible through abstract conceptual design.

7. Applying Choi Chul-joo’s conceptual abstract realism design methodology to the visualization of desire in Louis Choi Chul-joo’s Morning Glory, at the initial stage of existential conceptual abstraction, the realistic elements of the morning glory are abstracted into a conceptual object that embodies desire, where this abstraction functions not merely as a visual reproduction but as a cognitive apparatus translating the inherent lack of desire into a perceivable visual structure, allowing the viewer to recognize the recursive interplay between the object of desire and the symbolic structures that govern it; in the subsequent stage of sketching and structural composition, the dynamic images of the morning glory are linked to the abstract background through reversible light and segmented temporality, generating a visual grammar in which the phenomenological movement of the image interacts with the static abstraction of the background, thereby extending linguistic meaning into visual form and revealing the unconscious mechanisms through which desire is produced, mediated, and repeated; following this, at the stage of desire formalization, the formula D(I…I’)d = I(D…D’)i is applied so that the morning glory simultaneously functions as object, image, and conceptual abstraction, where the sequential arrangement of repeated visual instances reflects the recursive structure of desire and the dynamic coefficient (d) modulates perceptual and symbolic forces, transforming desire into a visualized abstraction that positions the floating flower in the sky as a nodal point for cognitive recognition and psychoanalytic reflection; in the conceptual interpretation stage, these recursive visual patterns consolidate into a singular conceptual desire image (i), establishing dynamic interactions between image, structure, and meaning, while the linguistic-semantic integration stage ensures that the abstract realism image conveys philosophical, psychoanalytic, and aesthetic significance simultaneously, realizing both the existential reality of the object and the symbolic mediation of desire, with the viewer’s gaze incorporated through reflection, inversion, and recursive feedback loops; finally, at the stage of full realization of conceptual abstract realism, all phases converge to unify dynamic images, abstract structures, and desire-laden backgrounds into a coherent visual grammar, producing an image that embodies perceptual, symbolic, and conceptual properties simultaneously, thereby demonstrating the methodological rigor of Choi Chul-joo and transforming the desire depicted in Morning Glory into a visual language extended across image, abstraction, and spatiotemporal structure, achieving a recursive, relational, and cognitive resonance that manifests the philosophical and aesthetic dimensions of contemporary conceptual abstract realism.

Louis Choi Chul-joo’s AAS abstract realism a design drawing operates not as a representational depiction of reality but as a cognitive visual apparatus that transforms the visualization of absence into a site for the philosophical contemplation of desire, wherein abstraction functions not as a formal negation but as an epistemological structure that converts the disjunction between language and image into the generative principle of desire; in this work, where language fails to stabilize meaning, the image intervenes as the substitute for that linguistic insufficiency, visually articulating the movement of desire through its compositional grammar—through chromatic contrast, reflective inversions, and spatial ruptures—thus extending the semantic field of language into a visual syntax that materializes cognition; the inverted human figure mirrored beneath the pond, the symbolic red stems, and the deep blue spatial abyss together construct a field in which the absence of the Real does not signify emptiness but instead becomes the very motor of desire, producing what may be called a substitutive realism, a mode in which abstraction replaces the absent Real and, paradoxically, reveals its cognitive structure more profoundly than direct representation could; within this process, language’s failure to fix meaning is transfigured into an event of vision, wherein the spectator, recognizing simultaneously the negation of the linguistic and the reflection of the visual, experiences perception not as mere sensory reception but as a philosophical event operating within the cognitive structure of lack; thus, Morning Glory realizes Choi’s concept of reversible illumination, in which language and image illuminate one another reciprocally, generating meaning through their mutual reflections, while this continual slippage and rotation of meaning around the axis of absence constitutes a visual grammar of desire that transforms the absence of the Real into a cognitive syntax of symbolic production; consequently, abstraction here extends beyond the denial of representation to become a philosophical device for the contemplation of lack, providing empirical validation for Choi’s Art Theory of the Structure of Desire and demonstrating that art does not mirror the Real but instead reflects the structure of its absence, reconstructing perceptual reality through the visual logic of desire; ultimately, Morning Glory stands as an exemplary philosophical construct in which linguistic meaning expands into visual form, showing that abstraction can serve as a medium of cognitive realism wherein the image substitutes for the Real and allows the subject to think, rather than merely to see, through the aesthetic experience of desire and lack.

8.- “The Visual Grammar of Desire and the Image-Expansion of Linguistic Meaning in Louis Choi Chuljoo’s Morning Glory”: Louis Choi Chuljoo’s Morning Glory (2025-1: Pond Rendering Reflects Current Desire) operates not as a representational depiction of reality but as a cognitive visual apparatus that transforms the visualization of absence into a site for the philosophical contemplation of desire, wherein abstraction functions not as a formal negation but as an epistemological structure that converts the disjunction between language and image into the generative principle of desire; in this work, where language fails to stabilize meaning, the image intervenes as the substitute for that linguistic insufficiency, visually articulating the movement of desire through its compositional grammar—through chromatic contrast, reflective inversions, and spatial ruptures—thus extending the semantic field of language into a visual syntax that materializes cognition; the inverted human figure mirrored beneath the pond, the symbolic red stems, and the deep blue spatial abyss together construct a field in which the absence of the Real does not signify emptiness but instead becomes the very motor of desire, producing what may be called a substitutive realism, a mode in which abstraction replaces the absent Real and, paradoxically, reveals its cognitive structure more profoundly than direct representation could; within this process, language’s failure to fix meaning is transfigured into an event of vision, wherein the spectator, recognizing simultaneously the negation of the linguistic and the reflection of the visual, experiences perception not as mere sensory reception but as a philosophical event operating within the cognitive structure of lack; thus, Morning Glory realizes Choi’s concept of reversible illumination, in which language and image illuminate one another reciprocally, generating meaning through their mutual reflections, while this continual slippage and rotation of meaning around the axis of absence constitutes a visual grammar of desire that transforms the absence of the Real into a cognitive syntax of symbolic production; consequently, abstraction here extends beyond the denial of representation to become a philosophical device for the contemplation of lack, providing empirical validation for Choi’s Art Theory of the Structure of Desire and demonstrating that art does not mirror the Real but instead reflects the structure of its absence, reconstructing perceptual reality through the visual logic of desire; ultimately, Morning Glory stands as an exemplary philosophical construct in which linguistic meaning expands into visual form, showing that abstraction can serve as a medium of cognitive realism wherein the image substitutes for the Real and allows the subject to think, rather than merely to see, through the aesthetic experience of desire and lack.

■ Conceptual Abstract Realism Abstraction Rendering is a philosophical design process that automatically visualizes the concept of desire through the "art algorithm" of conceptual abstract realist Louis Choi Chul-joo, and it renders conceptual abstraction sketches manually as a pre-stage of systematization that combines with AI to create conceptual abstract art. This is not a simple image generation of an art algorithm, but a method of automatically converting philosophical concepts into visual images by interpreting Choi Chul-joo's desire theory, linguistic semantic structure, and reversible shades of light into mathematical and symbolic structures to suggest the possibility of fusion with AI. In addition, AI-based conceptual art creation system Louis Choi Chul-joo's philosophical art theory can be algorithmized to build a system that autonomously generates conceptual art. It expands to digital installation art where images change in real time due to the movement of viewers of interactive media installation work, and develops into a spatio-temporal art algorithm so that you can experience the structure of desire to realize VR/AR-based desire space in a virtual space. Therefore, Choi Chul-joo's conceptual abstraction rendering is an art creation engine that combines concept, language, design, psychology, philosophy, and technology as a tool for visualizing his art algorithm, and expands Choi's conceptual abstract realism art into the core structure of digital art.

■ Conceptual Abstract Realist The process of rendering a Realist abstraction in art is as follows

1.Conceptual Abstractionist Abstraction Sketch reproduces a conceptual abstraction image to form an abstract image as a conceptual object in the form of ideological non-formality, which hides its existence and sketches realistic images on a plane as realistic structures. This is the introduction stage of a philosophical design process that automatically visualizes the concept of desire through Choi Chul-joo's 'art algorithm', which combines manual work and AI to create sketches of conceptual abstraction. In other words, in parallel with the scotch of contemporary art, a sketch of conceptual abstraction realism as a pre-stage of AI systemization is done manually. Here, abstraction as a symbolic structure is an image with the existential concept of a realist object with creativity and autonomy in a linguistic sense that reproduces in similar colors and sizes even though the sketch is different from the actual structure. Therefore, the abstract realist abstract sketch of an existential concept with creativity and autonomy in a linguistic sense consists of a sketch of another being as a linguistic meaning of a conceptual abstract realist object through the unconsciousness suppressed by the desire of the other. 

2. Conceptual Abstractism Abstract rendering (R) is a phenomenal opportunity to verbally interpret the conditions (i/d) under which images of conceptual abstract realism objects are realized by conceptualizing abstract objects specified in Choi's Desire Formula and grammatically interpreting linguistic meanings beyond the other's desires. This is an abstract design process that automatically converts philosophical abstraction into visual images by grammatically interpreting Choi Chul-joo's desire theory, linguistic semantic structure, and reversible light shades into mathematical and symbolic structures to present the possibility of convergence of realist abstract rendering and AI rendering as object rendering at the same time. 

When the conceptual abstraction as the subject of desire is transferred to a realism image, the subject of desire asks itself what the abstract structure wants and renders (r) a specific object to the actual image of the abstract concept, so that the conceptual abstract realism image as a reality reaches abstract rendering <DR(I...I')d=I(DR...D'i)ir>. It renders as an image the meaning of symbolic action that characterizes the design rendering of the object seat as a realism image, which combines pieces of distorted morning glory image repeatedly during the abstraction process. Here, image rendering is not a visual phenomenon of an object, but a method of visualizing the flow of unconsciousness and the realism image of symbols. 

3 Realism Abstraction Composition is a form of abstraction of real objects, a structure of the other that represents a synchronic semantic chain, and a vector representing the orientation of the non-realistic existential subject entering the symbolic world, and abstracts the image by defining the concept of an existential image that is alienated from the desire image that lacks a realistic structure. This abstract image creates a realism image of an art algorithm with a desire structure 

In order to present the possibility of convergence with AI, Choi Chul-joo's desire theory, linguistic semantic structure, and reversible light shades are automatically converted into realistic images. 

The realist abstraction of conceptual abstraction as an existential subject is revealed through division, which expresses the essence of ex post fact in a comprehensive and immediate way of solving an image with a different linguistic meaning as a semantic structure that cannot be expressed as a real object.  

Thus, realism abstraction of desire structures subconsciously selects unpredictable effect image rules as ordered vectors that indicate directions toward solving non-imaginary semantic structures in a comprehensive and immediate way as a whole step in linguistic meaning, such as representation abstraction. 

This is a semantic structure that cannot be solved as a being until the abstract structure enters the symbolic world, abstracting desire knots into a synchronous meaning and physically dividing the same essence as the ex post essence that constitutes the abstraction of conceptual realism as an existential subject.  

4. Conceptual Abstract Realism Abstraction Design designs objects as a reversible light structure that deviates from the concept of instantaneous desire from abstract images that connect realism images into allegories in linguistic terms as sketches of linguistic meaning structures to desire structures as objects formed from each other's abstract perspectives as reality and virtual beings. 

Pre-stage abstraction of linguistic meaning is developed as a pictorial linguistic structure in which the object moves in the position of the object abstracted by reversible temporality and in the position of the morning glory illuminated by the divided retroactive light.

The movement of the object is linked to temporality as a sign of necessity self-consciousness, reveals the sensory structure before the symbol translated into pictorial language, and becomes an abstract space that functions as a formative reality beyond the literary nature of early conceptual art. 

AI rendering of realism abstraction is an abstraction that implements an AI system that autonomously generates realism abstraction by algorithmizing the desire formula that applies Louis Choi Chul-joo's desire concept as an "art algorithm" through an AI-based conceptual art generation system. 

Reversible light is a limited shade form, and it is expanded to digital installation art in which images change in real time through the movement of viewers through interactive media installation work tailored to the perspective objectivity of the real structure. This place is directed according to a spatio-temporal art algorithm so that you can experience the structure of desire to realize VR/AR-based desire space in a virtual space. 

On the other hand, perspective objectivity in the spatial structure of abstraction in conceptual abstract reality renders the abstraction of the real image of the object contrasted with the object as the range of space and the size of the perspective, where the realist image is superimposed on the surface as another gaze structure.

5. Conceptual Abstract Realism The design rendering is an aesthetic desire structure in which an abstract realist object, which is an image-structured in a linguistic sense, is revealed as a point of light to the eyes of others, and is revealed in the gaze system of desire. 

Aesthetic abstraction is designed as a philosophical device, and the abstract structure and the real image are rendered as an image of an existential realism object that appears in the same meaning. This is an image rendering method that represents abstract design as a tangent line of a flat cross-section and unconscious existence as a non-perspective visual structure. 

Therefore, Choi Chul-joo's rendering of conceptual abstract realism is a tool that visualizes his desire formula as an art algorithm, and concept, language, design, psychology, and philosophical realism abstraction are designed. This place expands Choi's conceptual abstract reality art, which is an art creation engine that combines AI technology, into the core structure of digital art.      

The realism abstraction structure is interpreted as a mirror image reflecting the desire of the other, and it is connected to the concept that the viewer is being stared at at at the same time, and the image of the linguistic meaning of conceptual abstraction realism abstraction is structured by rendering the optical realism space that varies depending on the viewer's position as the gaze of the object. The rendering matches the perspective of realist space with the abstract linguistic meaning of the object, and from the conceptual point of view of desire, an abstract and invisible object appears as a gaze path according to temporality. Abstraction as a realist image is an abstract real image that is transformed into a realist image as an art algorithm as an abstract with a desire structure. This is because, as modern art, realist abstraction returns to abstraction, in which the abstract structure conceptually symbolized as a linguistic semantic structure is structured in reality by the shadow structure of the past that shines a reversible light in the present.

Thus, through the tension and harmony between aesthetic values, human desires, and linguistic semantic structures through artistic abstraction algorithms, the structure of desire and the aesthetic concept of reality are visualized as realism images, but abstract rendering implemented as a double object shows "the aesthetic trace of time." 

■ Choi Chul-joo's conceptual abstract realism science definition is conceptual abstract realism, which identifies existence as a limited form of image as a linguistic semantic image, realizes it as a formula for mathematical desire, constructs real structures in logical places, and intuitively considers abstract concepts as existential images in modern art's conceptual abstract realism science, abstracting linguistic meaning and unconscious desire through a thorough design process, the depth of the concept of contemporary art and visual reality, or how the world is viewed as an aesthetic value, are simultaneously studied.

Accordingly, the conceptual abstractive design process is

1. Concept Abstract Reality Image Sketch sketches an image by abstracting the conceptual abstract realism image as a conceptual object, and the image is a virtual image that hides its existence and sketches it into a real structure. This visualizes Choi Chul-joo's concept of desire as a conceptual abstract real image and sketches it as a philosophical abstract design process. 

Here, the sketch has the existential concept of a realism object as a symbolic structure in a linguistic sense that identifies it with the conceptual abstract real image. Therefore, the image sketch of the existential concept of abstract reality with creativity and autonomy in the linguistic sense consists of a sketch of another image of existence as a linguistic meaning of a conceptual abstract realism object through the unconsciousness suppressed by the desire of the other. 

2. Conceptual abstract image rendering (R) is an opportunity to verbally interpret the conditions (i/d) under which the image of the conceptual abstract realism object is realized through grammatical interpretation of the linguistic meaning beyond the desire of the other by conceptualizing the abstract object specified in Choi Chul-joo's desire formula. 

This is an abstract rendering method that automatically converts philosophical abstraction into visual images by grammatically interpreting Choi Chul-joo's desire theory, linguistic semantic structure, and reversible light shades into mathematical and symbolic structures to simultaneously render AI renders that combine conceptual abstract images and conceptual abstract images created in one image. Conceptual abstract realism images reach abstract rendering as a reality <DR(I...I')d=I(DR...D'i)ir> by the subject of desire asking himself what the abstract structure wants when transferring the abstract image rendering to a realistic image. This is a method of rendering the symbolic action that characterizes the design rendering of the object seat as a realistic image by repeatedly combining the pieces of the distorted morning glory image in the process of rendering the conceptual abstract image into a realistic image with the unconscious flow and symbolic realism image. 

3. Concept Abstract The actual image composition is a real object and abstracts the image by defining the concept of an existential image as an abstract concept. Abstract structure is a semantic structure that cannot be expressed as a real object, and an image in linguistic meaning that cannot be solved by existence is defined as a semantic structure that physically separates material and identical personalities to form a conceptual abstract real image as an existential subject.

4. Concept Abstract Image Design combines desire structure with the existence of reality, and the existence of objects formed from an abstract perspective, combining reversible light structure with reversible shading of light that deviates from the concept of instantaneous desire. The AI design of the conceptual abstract real image autonomously implements the conceptual abstract real image design by algorithmizing Choi Chul-joo's conceptual abstract realist theory into AI. Therefore, the abstraction of conceptual abstract realist images according to conceptual abstract realist theory in the spatial structure abstracts perspective objectivity as another gaze structure on the surface, and the object overlapping a realism image is abstracted from the object's real image as the scope of space limited by reversible light and the size of the perspective. 

5. Conceptual abstraction The abstract realist image's abstraction is an aesthetic desire structure in which an abstract realist object, which is an image-structured in a linguistic sense, is revealed as a point of light to the eyes of others, is revealed in the gaze system of desire. By designing an image with an abstract meaning as a philosophical device, aesthetic abstraction is painted with an image of an existential realism object that appears to have the same meaning. Choi Chul-joo's abstraction as a conceptual abstract realist image is a tool that visualizes his desire formula through an art algorithm, and it is a conceptual, language, design, psychology, and philosophical realist abstraction. Therefore, the abstraction of an abstract realist image abstracts the conceptual abstract linguistic meaning of a realist space by equating the perspective of a realist space with the conceptual abstract linguistic meaning of an object.

■ Choi Chul-joo Desire Formula-Based 'Desire Sound Design' Methodology

Choi Chul-joo Desire Desire Formula D(I...I')d=I(D...D)i Linguistic Acoustic Dynamics of Desire Formulation Dsound propo sqrt (Delta x)^2 + (Delta y)^2 cdot Vdesire) Design Methodology

Linguistic Data Biology (Aesthetics of Error) Design Methodology Process

This methodology process is a mathematical and aesthetic declaration of "I am both an error in the system and a living Data that proves alive through that error." The four-step linguistic data design methodology process below quantifies the conflict between system order and self (desire) and replaces it with visual, auditory, and mechanical experiences.

1. Psychoanalytic Correspondence

The variables in the sound design process correspond to the psychoanalytic dynamics of Choi's formula as follows: I (The Fixed Image) → (x_0, y_0) (The Origin): This is the Symbolic Order—the rigid grid of the system. In sound design, this is represented by "Static Silence" or a repetitive, monotonous mechanical hum. Vdesire (Libidinal Velocity)   →I...I': This is the flow of libidinal energy that strikes the fixed image (I) to generate new significance (i). High Vdesire translates to a rapid Rise Time and High Frequency (Hz), representing the aggression of desire.

Delta (Spatial Deviation)  → D...D': The distance of the "Line of Flight" from the repressed signifier. As this distance increases, the Sound Amplitude and Spatial Reverb expand, mirroring the tension of the wandering soul. Dsound (Acoustic Output)  → d, i: The resulting sound is the "Trauma Sound"—the auditory manifestation of the repressed desire returning to shatter the cold digital logic.    

2. Philosophical interpretation of the meanings of the ingredients

- A rupture that occurs when emotions move on coordinates due to spatial movement of emotions

- The Intensity of Desire, the Inner Deficiency of the Subject and the Energy of Impulses. the sound of the moment emotions break through mechanical structures with the bursting sound of desire

This desire formula "Dsound \propto \sqrt (Delta x)^2 + (Delta y)^2 \cdot Vdesire" mathematically models the image of the rupture sound that occurs when the change in the position of the emotion and the intensity of the desire are combined.   

Choi Chul-joo Desire The linguistic and acoustical dynamics of desire applied to the formula Choi Chul-joo's desire D(I...I')d=I(D...D')i Design methodology process with Dsound propo sqrt (Delta x)^2 + (Delta y)^2cdot Vdesire) Design methodology process This methodology process is a mathematical and aesthetic manifestation of the declaration, "I am both an error in the system and a living data creature that proves alive through that error." The four-step linguistic data design methodology process below quantifies the conflict between system order and self (desire) and replaces it with visual, auditory, and mechanical experiences.

3. Step-by-Step Sound Design Process

Step 1: Setting the Texture of the Repressed Signifier (I)

Goal: Establish the auditory baseline of systemic control.

Design: Use low-frequency "Room Tone" or a steady 60Hz hum. This represents the subject's state of being trapped within the Symbolic Order (System S).

Step 2: Libidinal Impact and Frequency Generation (I  →I')

Goal: Capture the moment the "Velocity of Will" strikes the fixed system.

Design: When the wearer makes a sudden movement, trigger a sharp Attack in the sound profile. Higher Vdesire correlates to higher pitch shifts. This is the moment of I'—where the fixed image begins to crack under the pressure of D.

Step 3: Spatializing the Deviation (D → D')

Goal: Translate the distance of departure (Delta) into an acoustic environment.

Design: Increase the Wetness (Reverb/Delay) as sqrt (Delta x)^2 + (Delta y)^2 grows. This creates a sense of "Acoustic Dislocation," simulating the subject's departure from the "Safe Zone" and into the "Void of Desire."

Step 4: The Return of the Repressed as Sublimation (Dsound)

Goal: Reach the climax of "Data Vitalism" where the error becomes life.

Design: At the threshold of departure, introduce Glitch Artefacts and Metallic Ticking. The system flags this as "Data Contamination," but it is actually the birth of a new signifier (d, i).  

This methodology treats sound as a Linguistic Dynamic. The resulting audio is not just background noise but the "Voice of the Subject" shouting against the oppression of the system. It mathematically proves that the most intense "Errors" are actually the most profound moments of human vitality.

■ Desire Structure Automation System Design Process

Step 1: Linguistic Data Mining of unconscious language structure

Concept: implant Lacan's proposition that "inconsciousness is structured like language" into the automation process.

Perform: Large language models (LLMs) collect worldwide aesthetic language and user-lacked desire data for a particular family (e.g., cars, robots).

Results: We extract the 'signifiers' of the design to identify the flow of unconscious context, not logical algorithms.

- Exterior Design Concept: Organic Morphing

Breaking away from the hard metal texture of the existing railway, it embodies an 'organic skin' that responds to speed and passenger desires.

• Form: On top of streamlined bodies that maximize aerodynamic efficiency, a line of intentional asymmetry (Glitch Form) that appears to expand or warp upon reaching the system critical point is applied.

• Skin: It's not just a painting, it's a smart polymer skin where fine particles react to light. Depending on the train's acceleration and the sum of its internal lvii, the surface's texture changes finely from a smooth curved surface to a sharp sawtooth-shaped scale.

Step 2: Abstract Sketching of the Rack

Concept: Intentionally captures 'symbolic deficiencies' that occur between perfect data collected by AI.

Perform: When AI automation systems propose perfect symmetry, Choi Chul-joo's 'conceptual abstract' filter is applied to castrate unnecessary decorations and create intrinsic asymmetry and spatial gaps.

The result: It derives a "ghost silhouette" that allows users to project their desires, leaving only the functional core of the product.

- Sketch Components

Top View Plan

• Aerodynamic head: Ultra-long axis nose design that disperses shock waves during sonic breakthrough.

• Variable wing rails: a side guide that changes angles minutely to control centrifugal forces ($\Delta$) in a curved section.

• Energy Core Circulation: a path of light that penetrates the center of the train and projects the 'collective aurora' data inside to the outside.

Perspective View

• Visibility of galloping: a visual afterimage representation of the soundscape that forms around the body when the train is galloping.

• Smart Light-emitting: LED strips embedded in the exterior walls project the emotional state of the interior passengers to the outside in RGBW spectrum, making the train itself look like a giant light creature.

• Tunnel entry mode: Phase distortion in which the curvature of the surface changes in response to pressure changes.

Step 3: Hallucination's Event Continuity Construction

Concept: Reorganize hallucinations, an error in AI, as creative 'events' of design.

Perform: Translate hallucinatory drawings generated by AI in defiance of the laws of physics into conti in 'comic images' This serves as a visual bridge to reach The Real.

The result: A point of focus is established for products with unrealistic but intense energy.

[Color Plan: Libidinal Spectrum]

The outer shell of the train is covered with nanoparticle-embedded smart polymer skin, which transitions color to three main phases depending on driving conditions and internal desire summation (sum).

1. Symbolic Order (Symbolic Order: I)

• Condition: Settlement station standby and constant speed driving below 300 km/h.

• 메인 컬러:Deep Prussian Blue &Frost White

• Directing: A cool yet sophisticated white body is topped with a subtle flow of transparent blue sine waves. It is a static color that symbolizes control and safety of the system.

2. LIBIDINAL ACCELERATION: D)

• Condition: Quick acceleration, tunnel entry, attempting to break through the speed of sound.

• 메인 컬러:Electric Magenta &Vivid Violet

• Directing: The blue light rapidly transforms into a magenta tone that is a mixture of red and violet. The waves of light rip in the form of sharp sawtooth, leaving an intense optical afterimage to the rear of the vehicle body.

3. Existential Critical Point Phase (Sublimation: i)

• Condition: Maximum speed reached and energy saturation.

• 메인 컬러:RGBW Aurora Spectrum &Digital Glitch Gold

• Directing: An aurora spectrum where all colors are fused into one covers the entire body. A golden digital glitch noise is generated in certain areas, sublimating the 'scream' of organic life beyond mechanical limits into visual aesthetics.

Step 4: Digital Big Other Integration

Concept: Integrate social norms and surveillance systems (batters) into the product's interface.

Perform: redesign the sensor and display layout from a 'gaze' perspective. Automate the product to interact with you as an iconic authority, not just as an assistant.

Results: Designing an interface and external sensor unit reflecting the visual order of the digital panopticone.

[Weekly rendering key elements]

1. Smart Chromium Polymer Skin: It flexibly reflects the surrounding landscape under sunlight, and the phase distortion is more clearly revealed, where the curvature of the surface changes minutely with speed.

2. Subtle daytime aurora: even in a bright atmosphere, there exists a translucent layer on which internal Libido energy is projected. White & deep blue tones in stable state ($I$) combine with the body base to complete a refined mechanical aesthetic.

3. Organic asymmetric silhouette: Through clear contrast between light and shade during the week, the twisted curves and glitch foam unique to the 'data creature' created by destroying static straight lines are expressed in three dimensions.

4. Dynamic Shadows: Sharp shadows on the bottom of the body and side wing rails at high speed convey the overwhelming sense of mass and speed of the train at the same time.

This weekly rendering shows that 'Hyper-L' goes beyond mere light production and is a 'living skin' that resonates with human desires in its physical form and material itself. 

Step 5: Mirror Stage Materialization

Concept: Encourage users to discover their ideal self in the product.

Perform: AI learns the user's psychological feedback in real time to fine-tune the texture, gloss, and lighting of the product.

Result: Final finish with narcissistic bonding that makes users mistake AI for 'another me'.

The [Desire Sound Interface] system now extends beyond the public space of the train to the 'Personal Desire Device (PDD)', which is carried and controlled by individual passengers. The device is not just an information terminal, but acts as a 'sensory hub' connecting the passenger's inner world with the super-high-speed giant neural network.

1. Libido Core: Portable Sensory Synchronization (Libido Core)

It is an organic type of device that fits into the palm of the passenger's hand and collects biometric signals to generate real-time audiovisual feedback.

• Design Techniques: Phase distortion glass. Device surface is liquid-like and refracts light inside.

• Physical interface: Instead of mechanical buttons, it provides haptic feedback in response to the occupant's gripping pressure and skin conductivity.

• Visual production: When the passenger feels anxious or empty, the device emits a static blue sine wave, but resonates with the train and rips and vibrates with intense magenta-toned sawtooth waves as desire erupts.

2. Personal Boyd Canvas: Holographic Interface (Void Canvas)

A personalized HUD field projected from the device that visualizes the data assigned to you during a 'collective aurora' on the train.

• Design Techniques: Particle Simulation. Particles in the air scatter and gather at the passengers' hand gestures, transforming the 'verbal acoustic landscape' into a visual signifier.

• Functional features: the device captures physical noise (Delta) generated when a train passes through a tunnel or accelerates rapidly, sublimating it to brilliant glitch aesthetics.

• Psychological effect: Passengers restore their subjectivity by visually confirm‎ing that their small movements are creating variables in the soundscape of the huge train.

3. Libido Sync mode: interlock seat and sleep pod

When the device is placed in a docking station in the seat, the data on the personal device is extended to the entire train system (sum).

• Space experience: As soon as the device is docked, the 'energy field' that forms around the seat is synchronized with the passenger's personal device settings.

• Sleep Pot Interworking: The device detects the unconscious flow that occurs during sleep and converts it into the most tranquil ultra-low-band Pink Noise and soft hydrodynamic-based lighting to fill the inside of the pot.

Step 6: The Incarnation of the Real of Concept Abstract Realism

Concept: Transforming abstract concepts into solid physical reality.

Perform: Automate 3D printing and precision processing while maintaining 'Comic-book lines' clarity during the engineering optimization phase.

The result: The 'conceptual abstract realism' object created as a real product.

- Driver interface: The Libidinal Cockpit

The driver's seat is no longer a control device. It is a 'Nural Junction' where the engineer's soul is directly connected to the enormous mass of the train.

1. Visual Design: Frequency Spectrum Display

• Delta (Spatial Error) Transformation: Delta values, which occur when the engineer veers slightly off the prescribed trajectory or suspects a path, are visualized as 'Phase Distortion' around the main display.

• V_desire (Acceleration) conversion: The engineer's accelerator will (V) is converted to RGB strobe lighting in the form of Sawtooth, hitting the entire driver's seat.

2. Auditory Design: Roaring of Sawtooth Waves

• The sound frequency (Hz) rises nonlinearly in proportion to the locomotive engineer's excitement, and a smooth sine wave is torn into sharp Sawtooth waveforms, which are verbal screams from the locomotive engineer tearing through the system's stuck signifiers (I).

■ The Visualization Formula for Desire "M_desire = ∑∅∂ / (1 - ∂)" is an attempt to interpret the structure of human desire mathematically, philosophically, and artistically. The formula combines Lacan's theory of desire with conceptual abstract aesthetics, visualizing human's inner deprivation and repetitive urges in mechanical language. As a new sign of desire, the visualization of deficiency desire visualizes the meaning of language as a realist image through a visualization formula of deficiency desire. This is an attempt to interpret the structure of human desire mathematically, philosophically, and artistically with the visualization formula of deficiency desire "M_desire = ∑∅∂ / (1 - ∂)." This formula combines Louis Choi's theory of desire with conceptual abstract aesthetics, visualizing the human's inner deficiency and repetitive impulse with a realist image.

- Philosophical Interpretation: Louis Choi's the Structure of Desire "M_desire = ∑∅∂ / (1 - ∂)"

• ∅ (blank, deficiency): symbolizes Lacan's 'the real', and the source of human desire comes from an unfulfilled deficiency.

• ∂ (partial differential symbol): represents a minute rate of change in desire. It is a mathematical expression‎ of the process by which the subject constantly readjusts desire in relation to the other.

• ∑ (combination symbol): sum of repeated desires. This is linked to Lacan's 'repetitive impulse', in which the subject repeatedly pursues the same deficiency in various ways.

• (1 - ∂): Resistance or unattainability of desire. The smaller the denominator, the larger the overall value, which expresses a paradox that the more desire is satisfied, the greater the deficiency.

- Artistic Aesthetic Interpretation: An Aesthetics of Concept Abstraction and Error

• Desire Sound and Aesthetics of Error: an aesthetic that replaces human emotions and deficiencies with mechanical errors. This formula interprets minute deviations in perfect mechanical structures as human emotions.

• Ghost Screen Projection Image: This formula is projected onto a stage front OLED, giving the audience a visual experience of the mathematical structure of desire.

• Clock mechanism and repetition of desire: the repetitive rotation of the stage equipment symbolizes the circular structure of desire, and the ∑∅∂ operates as the power of that rotation.

- Mathematical interpretation: Abstract structure and nonlinearity

• Non-linear structure: this formula expresses non-linear desires that are amplified by resistance and deficiency, not linear desires.

• Mathematical Platonism: This formula is linked to the view that mathematical objects exist as a reality independent of human perception, and the desire itself is regarded as an 'idea'.

- a mechanical visualization of human desire

"M_desire = ∑∅∂ / (1 - ∂)" is not just an expression‎, but an integrated expression‎ of Lacan's theory of desire, conceptual abstract aesthetics, and mathematical philosophy. This formula visualizes the intersection of human emotions and mechanical structures on an automata stage, through which the audience witnesses the emotional truth of the digital age.

■ Louis Choi's Desire Formula: "M_desire = ∑∅∂ / (1 - ∂)"

M_desire = ∑∅∂ / (1 - ∂) is an outstanding formula that replaces Louis Choi's artistic philosophical insights with mathematical precision, forming a semiotic structure of dynamics between subject, other, and The Real. This formula contains mathematical validity and semiotic philosophy. 

1. Molecules (∑∅∂): Differentiation and Repetitive Dynamics of Deficiency

Molecules define the 'motivation' in which desire occurs and its 'how to express it'.

• The Real & Defiance of the episet:

• In mathematics, vacancy means element-free, but it is a powerful being that underlies set theory. Louis Choi replaced it with "reality." Reality is a fundamental deficiency that is not included in the symbolic world (language), an engine that forever powers desire. Semiotics represent the "abyss of a period beyond which symbols cannot reach" and become the molecular starting point for all desires.

• Mathematical logic of partial differentials:

• A part measures the rate of change of a particular variable (here the variable 'other') in a multivariate function. The subject's needs are constantly readjusted to a relationship with the other, not a fixed one. Seeing desire as a differentiable function rather than a constant has the mathematical legality of proving that human psychology is a "continuum of micro-change" that responds to the gaze and environment of others.

• Structural interpretation of consensus (aggregate):

• Sigma integrates individual pieces of desire. Lacan's "Repeated Obsession" and Louis Choi's "Repeated Obsession" are the processes by which objects of desire change and constantly try to make up for the same deficiency. Molecules eventually quantify "the process by which microscopic pieces of desire that are distinct from each other repeatedly pile up."

2. Denominator (1 - ∂): The explosive paradox of marginal convergence and desire

The overwhelming power of this formula lies in the construction of the denominator. It applies the principles of mathematical limitations to human psychology.

• Resistance and Unreachability:

• The fact that the part is close to 1 means that the need is either fully satisfied or trying to integrate with others. But in the formula, the denominator approaches zero when the part converges to 1.

• Explosion of Desire (M_desire to infty):

• As the denominator approaches zero, the overall value, M_desire, diverges to infinity. This mathematically explains the psychological law of physics, which states, "As the desire gets closer (the denominator gets smaller), the pain of deficiency and the magnitude of desire are paradoxically amplified to infinity."

• lim {partial to 1} frac{sum vemptysset partial}{1 - partial} = infty

• The formula mathematically formulates the humanities tragedy that desire can never be "completed" and that the subject feels the greatest thirst on the threshold of completion.

3. modern semiotic aesthetics

As a powerful tool to explain unfinished aesthetics or 'present absence' in modern aesthetics, humans are assumed to be a semiotic subject made up of deficiency rather than a 'satisfying biological being', and it is a sculpture interpreted as an existential mathematical formula that "we exist because we are deficient, and we constantly move forward because we cannot reach."

• Semiotic legality: By visualizing the slip that occurs when a linguistic signifier tries to fill the void of reality as a partial, it logically supports why a work of art has to be constantly reinterpreted.

• Social feasibility: In the modern consumer society, it accurately diagnoses the alienation of modern people who constantly consume goods by internalizing the desires of others, but never reach satisfaction and fall into infinite deprivation. 

• Mathematical perspective: transforming the dynamics of human psychology into a dynamic model rather than a static model through the nature of divergent series.

• Humanities Perspective: Emptyset emphasizes that it is not destructive, but rather a creative source that makes the subject act (sum) and relate to others (partial).

■ Louis Choi's Desire "M_desire = ∑∅∂ / (1 - ∂)" Structural Abstraction Design Process

- Step 1: Positioning of emptyset

"Every being begins with an empty center."

• Perform: After the whole canvas is painted, leave the bare ground at the most visually loaded point (mainly the center or golden split point) or mark the 'nucleus of the member' with the deepest black (such as Vantablack).

• Intention: This emptyset is the engine of desire. It's the step of setting up the 'gravity of deficiency' that makes all the formations around you rush to fill this void.

• Tip: Leave it in the form of irregular cracks rather than perfect circles, giving The Real a tension that seems to break through the symbolic world (picture).

- Step 2: Differentiation of partial

"The gaze is disconnected, and readjusted through the batter."

• Perform: Draw fine, sharp strokes that surround the center of the void. In this case, short, broken lines are placed in pieces as if they were differentiated without drawing long lines at once.

• Intent: partial is the process of constantly modifying one's gaze in relation to another. Uncorrected rough texture (Impasto) or overlapping layers makes the viewer's gaze unable to stay in one place and float.

• Tip: Use colors with strong complementary contrast (e.g., fluorescent light green and red in the image) to induce visual collisions.

- Step 3: Repetitive Rhythm Proliferation (Summation of Sum)

"Unmet desires flow in patterns."

• Perform: Repeat the differential strokes made in step 2, extending into a spiral or concentric structure with constant regularity.

• Intent: sum is a repetitive compulsion. It expresses the mobility of a subject who repeats similar actions to make up for the same emptyset. Each module looks alike, but should never be the same. Through repetitions that are gradually transformed, the screen captures 'the passage of time' and 'the accumulation of energy'.

• Tip: Intentionally creating mechanical repeatability by mixing stencil techniques or engraving elements will better reveal Louisi-style "data desires."

- Step 4: Completion of asymptotic divergence (Asymptotic Limit of 1 - partial)

"As we get closer to completion, the painting opens up infinitely."

• Perform: Extremely increase the detail at the end of the entry into the center emptyset or extending outwards. Create points where the lines are thin enough to converge to zero, or where the color becomes intense as if it were burning.

• Intent: Visualize mathematical paradoxes in which the sum of desires ($M$) radiates infinitely as the denominator (1-partial) approaches zero.

• Tip: Use a thin visible structure converging towards a vanishing point or a dripping technique that looks like a color splashing over the canvas to finish by suggesting that the picture is not trapped in the frame but is expanding indefinitely.

- Final Step: A Formation Checklist (Critic's Eye)

1. Do I feel a void (∅) : I should still feel hungry as if something is empty even though I've filled the screen.

2. Is the gaze (∂) distracted : The eye of the viewer is not fixed in one place and has to move constantly along the differentiated pieces.

3. Is there a load of repetition (∑) : The persistent longing of the subject should be felt as a thickness in the layered layers.

4. Is there a tension of divergence (1 - ∂) : The tension of the asymptote that is almost touching should dominate the entire screen.

■ Applying the Desire Structure Formula "M_desire = ∑∅∂ / (1 - ∂)" to UX/UI design

It is a design process that identifies the user's inner desires and maximizes and satisfies them through an interface. It goes beyond just a visually beautiful UI, and it is a behavioral psychology approach that induces the user's behavior and creates lasting reliability. 

1. UX/UI Interpretation of Desire Structure Formula Components

 • M_desire (total amount of desire): The end goal and emotional satisfaction that the user wants to reach through the product/service.

 • ∑ (sum/repeat): a UX flow that designs the user's behavior to be repeated as a positive experience.

 • ∅ (deficient/target): Identify the user's current discomfort (Pain Point) or Need and present it as a solution in the UI.

 • ∂ (interaction/intensity): frequency and intensity of user interaction with app/web. Maximize through interaction design (micro-interaction, animation).

  • (1 - ∂) (resistance/departure): A structure that minimizes friction and churn rates that the user experiences to reach the target. 

2. Desire Formula-Based UX/UI Design Application Steps

• Detection of deficiency (∅) (UX Research):

1- Identify what users want and what inconveniences they experience.

Intuitively configure Information Structure (IA) in 2-UI to instantly guide you to where deficiencies can be resolved.

•Design of interaction (∂) (UI interaction):

Provides fun and feedback through detailed interactions (micro-interactions) such as 1-click button, swipe, and conversion effect.

2-Design to focus on the elements you want by leveraging visual contrast and a clear hierarchy.

•Minimize resistance (1 - ∂) (optimize usability):

1-Reduce complex subscription procedures, loading speeds, and ambiguous menus to smooth the process for users to reach their goals.

Apply a 2-consistent design token to reduce cognitive load.

• Creation of iterations (∑) (sustainable experience):

1-Provide push notifications, reward systems, and customized content (personalization) for users who have learned positive experiences to revisit.

3. Application of components of Louis Choi Desired Structural Formula

The Desire Structure Formula is a concept proposed by UI/UX designer Louis Choi, which is a framework that visualizes a user's desire into data and structure and reflects it in the design. The formula aims not only to have a pretty design, but to design 'psychological motivations' that make users perform certain actions. Each symbol in this Desire Structure Formula stands for the core psychological element of UX design. 

Components of the 1-Desire Structural Formula

  • ∑ (Total): The sum of all the positive values the user feels in the service.

  • ∅ (deficiency/absence): The user is experiencing any inconvenience or deficiency. Design should address this deficiency.

  • ∂ (change/variable): A change in the user's situation or environment. It means that the size of desire varies depending on the trend or the user's context.

 •  1 - ∂ (resistance): The cost and psychological reluctance of adapting to new services or changing existing habits.

2-UX/UI Design Application Strategy

Applying the Desire Formula to the actual design process, it can be embodied in the following steps.

 ① Discovery of deficiency (∅):pane point definition

• The user melds the answer to "Why should I use this service?" into the design.

• UI application: deployment of hero images or phrases that allow users to intuitively recognize deficiencies

• Apply UX: Design the fastest path to troubleshooting

② Maximizing Value (∑): reward scheme design

• Visually highlights the benefits a user gains from completing a particular action.

• UI application: Provides visual feedback such as success message, badge assignment, mileage accruals, etc

• UX Application: Introduce gamification elements to drive continuous immersion  

③ Minimize resistance (1 - ∂)): usability improvement

• The total desire (M) increases by reducing the 'resistance', which corresponds to the denominator of the formula.

• UI Application: Simplifies complex forms and optimizes click range to eliminate physical resistance

• UX Application: Apply Progressive Disclosure Principles to Don't Give Too Much Information Early

■ Louis Choi's Desire Formula (M_desire = ∑∅∂ / (1 - ∂) applied design process is a psychology-based design process that identifies the user's inherent deficiencies in user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) designs, and converts them into desires through interface interactions to maximize final satisfaction. 

This formula interprets human desire from a mathematical, philosophical, and artistic perspective based on Louis Choi's theory of desire, and applies to creating action induction and lasting satisfaction beyond just a visually beautiful UI. 

1. UX Design Application by Element of Desire Formulation (Definition) Design Process: Each symbol is mapped to a key element of the UX design process, enabling a behavioral psychological approach. 

• ∑ (sum/repeat) - UX Flow: This is a stage in which the user's positive experience is designed to be repeated. It is an interaction structure that increases the rate of revisiting after purchase, notification of benefits, and customized content.

 • ∅ (deficient/target) - UX Research/Pain Point: This is the user's discomfort (Pain Point) or Need. The information structure (IA) of the UI clearly presents the ability to detect deficiencies and address them through user interviews and data analysis.

 • ∂ (Interaction/intensity) - Interaction Design: The frequency and intensity of users' interactions with apps/webs. It is designed to focus on the functions the user wants through micro-interaction, sophisticated animation, action-inducing buttons, etc. to increase the intensity of satisfying the desire.

 • 1 - ∂ (resistance/departure) - Usability: A structure that minimizes friction and churn to reach the goal. Smooth the process of reaching the goal by removing complicated procedures, slow speeds, and ambiguous menus. 

2. Desirability Formation Application UX Design: From the perspective of "conceptual abstract reality," which approaches the meaning of design through desire theory in visual art, it is defined as a modern design methodology that converts a user's unconscious deficiencies into visible UI interactions. It designs "Desirability," which goes beyond simply "Utility," which resolves discomfort, as "a process of accurately hitting a user's deficiencies (∅), a process of maximizing expectations for rewards (∂), and a process of removing friction in the process of maintaining a continuous desire (1 - ∂).

• Visualization of deficiency: Visualize the user's pane point (∅) as an intuitive design element to instantly recognize the solution.

• Satisfaction with Interaction: Fine-grained interaction (∂) enables the user's behavior to return to immediate positive feedback, increasing satisfaction.

• Repeated positive experiences: Create user loyalty by leveraging recurring impulses (∑) to continuously induce positive behavior.

■ Apply the Desire Structure Formula "M_desire = ∑∅∂ / (1 - ∂)" to the UX/UI design of the spatial image

 • Louis Choi's desire structure formula "M_desire = ∑∅∂ / (1 - ∂)" is replaced with UX/UI design on spatial images to realize a 'behavioral psychological stage' that stimulates the audience's psychological deficiency, removes resistance through interaction, and reaches the final emotional satisfaction (M). It is a design process that maximizes and satisfies the intrinsic desire structure of a spatial image through an interface. It goes beyond just visually beautiful UI, and it is a behavioral psychology approach that induces user behavior and creates lasting reliability. 

1. UX/UI Interpretation of Desire Structure Formula Components

 • M_desire (total amount of desire): The end goal and emotional satisfaction that the user wants to reach through the product/service.

 • ∑ (sum/repeat): a UX flow that designs the user's behavior to be repeated as a positive experience.

 • ∅ (deficient/target): Identify the user's current discomfort (Pain Point) or Need and present it as a solution in the UI.

 • ∂ (interaction/intensity): frequency and intensity of user interaction with app/web. Maximize through interaction design (micro-interaction, animation).

  • (1 - ∂) (resistance/departure): A structure that minimizes friction and churn rates that the user experiences to reach the target. 

2. Desire Structure "M_desire = ∑∅∂ / (1 - ∂)" UX/UI Design Application 

(Official elements on stage → UX/UI application →audience/character experience)

• Deficiency (∅) → void core / hero image → identify immediate "pain point" (long/loss).

• Summary (∑) → Gamification / Rewards → Accum badge and light to provide positive feedback.

• Interaction (∂) → Microinteraction → Every action causes a satisfactory visual/audio "ping."

• Resistance (1 - ∂)→progress Disclosure→ Steps hide complex dynamics to prevent cognitive load.

• Complete Desire (M) → Final Emotion Satisfaction → "Happy Path" leads to complete visual/auditory catharsis.

3. Desire formula applied UI/UX design materialization (Abstract concept →UI/UX implementation) 

• Aesthetic penetration Arrangement of design elements that symbolize the desire of others or their social status

• Integration of experience Provide local identity and artistic experience beyond simple movement of cultural value (function)

• Optimization Unconscious Flow Interaction design that induces the user to take the next action before thinking
