Painting Performance: A painting performance related to media art exhibition and exhibition from November 26, 2020 to November 27, 2020 (picture 'disappeared pond' demonstration), and a painting work produced  by head of the academic research department of research at the Minoo Media Art Museum

The space of the image tailored to the pond where the other's desire has disappeared creates an image space in a separate desire sense where the margin-shaped fish connects the gaps, and the color of the image is decorated with the actual color of seasonal universality facing the fish.

The media art "Disappeared pond" is a digital art of painting designed in monochrome and contours of objects, separating images of photographs in media art into conditions of light.

It is a reproduction of the digital pond of the Minoo Media Art Museum, incorporating impressionist paintings into the concept of pop culture and designing a photo of the pond as a painting.

A fish made of media art is the main body of a fish that moves with an alternative image of a real pond, and the design image of a virtual pond is a form of appreciating timeliness consisting of optical media art.

The form of performance as an object symbolically digitizes the actual pond of the media, but the interactive configuration appears in the non-realistic design image.

In fact, the digital pond is given a hypothetical meaning, so the fish there always sit in the pond, even if they imitate it. The pond effect imaginable here is a realistic representation of the image of the pond separated from the lotus flower, unlike the fish.

Another symbol is the verbal meaning of fish, an image that shows the process of repeating the association with lotus flowers and meeting the meaning associated with the design of fish symbols in ponds.

This is the meaning of the symbol interpreting the "Disappeared pond" designed as a simplification process.

Here, the design of lotus flowers with impressionistic images visualizes the characteristics of symbols so that "Disappeared pond" can interact, but the impressionist painting style emphasizes the circular color of light except black, which defines the form

The symbolic symbol hides the imitative nature of the painting composed of fish symbols, centering on some outward form of fact that it cannot be a fish due to the intervention of light.

In linguistic acts imitating pictorial symbols, the subject of imitability is revealed in the Lacan image and homogeneity.

This is an imitative image, because as the subject divides, meaning simultaneously reveals unconsciousness as a pictorial image. These subjects are the subjects of unconsciousness resulting from the serialization of imitative images by cogito.

In "Disappeared pond" the fish forms in white to distinguish light, and the pond designs lotus flowers by imitating impressionist paintings.

The design of the pond, in which fish symbols appear in "Disappeared pond" represents the linguistic meaning as a real being. Here the design of the essential elements of fish and ponds is abstracted into white fish and black ponds contrasted with the illumination of the conceptual lotus flower.

And the visual design image of the fish as a symbol by metaphor of the fragmented meaning is a white fish as a sign. The abstract design, which replaced the black pond intertwined with the fish with other meanings, expresses the meaning of the disappeared pond.

This dictates the meaning of symbolic action that characterizes the design, which is a repeated combination of distorted pieces of image in the course of pictorial imitation.

The meaning is symbolic language that symbolizes the image imitated. Here the image is a piece of symbolic meaning in an unrealistic space.
