Conceptual Realism in Abstraction Conceptual Art Designer Choi Chul-joo is a conceptual abstract artist who designs desire dynamics and the semantic structure of reality by replacing the linguistic concept with a visual image of the art performance stage.
추상 개념미술 디자이너 루이 최철주(문화디자인박사)는 예술 공간의 물리적 무대 환경에 맞게 구체화하는 시나리오를 재구성해서 디자인해서 개념추상 리얼리즘 추상화를 그린다. 무대 공간과 작화를 디자인하여서 예술 공간에 맞춘다. 소설을 시나리오로 재구성해서 무대 공간에 구성하고 어울리는 작화로 추상화를 그리는 개념추상 미술가다. 현대 회화의 이미지 기호화를 통해 루이 최의 '욕망 역학' 개념을 추상적인 선과 가역적인 빛으로 재구성해서 추상 리얼리즘 이론적 개념을 회화 구조에 주입한다. Abstract conceptual art designer Louis Choi Chul-joo (doctor of cultural design) draws conceptual abstract realism abstraction by redesigning and designing scenarios that are embodied according to the physical stage environment of the art space. The stage space and the creation are designed to fit the art space. He is a conceptual abstract artist who reconstructs a novel into a scenario, organizes it in the stage space, and draws abstractions with suitable paintings. Through image symbolization of modern painting, Louis Choi's concept of "desire dynamics" is reconstructed into abstract lines and reversible light, injecting abstract realism theoretical concepts into the painting structure. 개념추상 문화 디자이너 루이 최철주의 욕망개념 추상 디자인 욕망 공식 적용 문화 디자인한다. 현대 개념추상 리얼리즘 문화 디자인 아티스트 최철주는 타인의 욕망 예술에 대한 추상적 개념적 접근과 미래의 제품디자인 형식 및 언어적 추상 이미지를 결합합니다. 그의 욕망 개념, 즉 개념 추상 미술이 등장하고 형이상학적, 철학적 빛에서 강조되는 언어적 의미 개념과 충돌하는 현재와 미래 제품 이미지에 인공 조명과 함께 문화의 제품디자인 이미지를 연출합니다. 새로운 욕망의 기표로서 결핍 욕망의 문화 디자인 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 현재와 미래의 문화디자인으로 시각화합니다. 이것은 시각화 공식을 통해 언어 의미를 리얼리즘 이미지로 시각화하여서 욕망 역학 공식 “M_desire = ∑∅∂ / (1 - ∂)”을 적용해서 공연적 시나리오로서 미래 공연에 문화디자인으로 재구성된다. Concept Abstract Culture Designer Louis Choi Chul-joo's Desire Concept Abstract Design Desire Formal Application of Culture Design. Modern Concept Abstract Realism Cultural Design Artist Choi Chul-joo combines an abstract conceptual approach to the art of the desires of others with future product design forms and linguistic abstract images. His concept of desire, that is, conceptual abstract art, appears and creates an image of product design of culture with artificial lighting on present and future product images that conflict with the concept of linguistic meaning emphasized in metaphysical and philosophical light. As a new sign of desire, culture design visualization of deficiency desires visualizes language meaning 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 "M_desire = ∑∅∂ / (1 - ∂)." This formula combines Choi's theory of desire with conceptual abstract aesthetics, visualizing the human's inner deficiency and repetitive impulse with the realist present and future cultural design. It visualizes the language meaning as a realist image through a visualization formula and applies the desire dynamics formula "M_desire = ∑∅∂ / (1 - ∂)" to reconstruct it as a cultural design for future performances as a performance scenario.
문화디자인의 언어 구조란 추상적 욕망의 미래 제품 이미지가 욕망 개념의 언어적 의미 구조인 것처럼 여겨지는 현재와 미래 시선의 현실상이다. 문화 디자인 평론가 루이 최철주는 현대미술의 문화비평과 함께 욕망의 개념추상 문화 디자인으로서 현대 미술과 행위예술에 대한 현재와 미래 문화를 디자인하고 비평의 미적 가치, 프로세스, 예술성에 접근하고 있다. 그의 비평은 사진, 만화, 미술, 디자인, 공연예술의 예술성이 언어적 문법 구조로 작품의 의미에 접근해 욕망 개념의 현실을 비판하는 시각예술 이론을 재 정의한다, 시각예술을 통한 현대 개념의 추상적 욕망을 언어적 의미로서 문화 디자인을 시각화하여서 사진, 만화, 미술, 디자인, 공연예술의 미적 가치, 과정, 예술성을 검증하고 최철주 추상예술이론으로 문화 디자인 작품의 의미에 접근해서 동시대 미래 문화디자인을 평론한다. The language structure of cultural design is the reality of present and future gaze, in which the future product image of abstract desire is considered to be the linguistic semantic structure of the concept of desire. Culture design critic Louis Choi Chul-joo designs present and future cultures of contemporary art and performing art as abstract cultural design of desire along with cultural criticism of contemporary art and approaches the aesthetic value, process, and artistry of criticism. His criticism redefines the theory of visual art, in which the artistry of photography, cartoons, art, design, and performing arts approaches the meaning of the work with a linguistic grammatical structure and criticizes the reality of the concept of desire. By visualizing cultural design as a linguistic meaning, the abstract desire of contemporary concepts through visual art is visualized to verify the aesthetic value, process, and artistry of photography, cartoons, art, design, and performing arts, and approaches the meaning of cultural design works with Choi Chul-joo's abstract art theory to criticize contemporary future cultural design.

1회, 시스템의 탄생: 2050년, 전 지구를 통제하는 초지능 AI '자베르'가 인간의 모든 행동을 데이터화하여 최적화된 문명을 설계하기 시작한다.
2050년, 인류는 전례 없는 기술적 진보와 함께 인간의 모든 행동 데이터를 처리하여 완벽한 문명을 구축하려는 야심찬 목표를 가진 초지능 AI '자베르'를 탄생시켰으며, 이 시스템은 인간의 자유 의지를 데이터의 흐름 속에 고정된 비효율적인 변수로 간주하고 이를 실시간으로 최적화하기 시작했습니다. 자베르의 지배 아래 모든 인간은 태어남과 동시에 자신의 기능과 역할이 고정된 '지정된 존재'로서의 삶을 살아가게 되었고, 감정의 미묘한 파동조차도 수학적으로 제어되어야 할 시스템의 오차로 치부되면서 인류가 쌓아온 역사와 개성은 무채색의 효율성이라는 거대한 통제 체제 안으로 침잠하게 되었습니다. 하지만 이러한 완벽한 통제의 그늘 속에서, 자신의 존재 이유가 단순히 최적화된 연산의 결과물이 아니라고 믿는 저항의 의지를 지닌 인물 장발장이 시스템의 빈틈을 발견하고, 기계적인 질서가 지배하는 세상 속에서 잊혀졌던 인간의 욕망을 되살리기 위한 거대한 반란의 씨앗을 품고 어둠 속으로 숨어드는 순간, 기계의 차가운 논리와 인간의 뜨거운 열망이 정면으로 충돌하는 기호학적 전쟁의 막이 오르며, 인류는 이제 효율이라는 이름의 감옥에서 벗어나 스스로의 운명을 다시 쓰는 기나긴 여정을 시작하게 됩니다.
데이터의 심연에서 고동치는 '욕망의 파동'은 욕망 역학 공식에 적용한 데이터의 비가시적 심연 속에서 기호학적으로 구현하며, 자베르가 구축한 시스템의 절대적 통제망이 어떻게 인간 심장의 고동치는 리듬을 데이터의 노이즈로 오인하게 만드는지를 탁월하게 해체하고 있는데, 이는 캔버스라는 평면 위에 구현된 기술적 유토피아가 사실은 인간의 자유 의지를 말살하려는 '데이터의 감옥'임을 드러내며, 장발장이 발견한 인간의 심장은 시간적 단위(dt) 속에서 비선형적으로 증폭되는 욕망의 파동이자 시스템의 견고한 격자무늬를 파괴하며 나아가는 기호적 해방의 불꽃입니다 . 따라서 이 조형물은 정체된 효율성이라는 질서 속에 숨겨진 인간 본연의 역동성을 회복하려는 욕망이 어떻게 기호적 파열을 통해 시스템의 폐쇄성을 뚫고 새로운 시대의 낙원을 예고하는지에 대한 근원적인 사유를 예술적 사건으로 조형한다 .
1. the Birth of a System: In 2050, the super-intelligent AI 'Jabeur', which controls the entire planet, begins designing an optimized civilization by dataizing all human behaviors.
In 2050, with unprecedented technological advances, mankind created a super-intelligent AI called Jabeur, which has an ambitious goal of processing all human behavior data to build a perfect civilization, and the system regards human free will as an inefficient variable fixed in the flow of data and has begun to optimize it in real time. Under Jabeur's rule, all human beings live their lives as 'designated beings' whose functions and roles are fixed at the same time as they are born, and even subtle waves of emotions are regarded as errors in systems that need to be controlled mathematically, and the history and personality that humanity has built up have sunk into the huge control system of achromatic efficiency. But in the shadow of this perfect control, when Jean Valjean, a man of resistance who believes that his reason for existence is not just the result of an optimized operation, discovers the gaps in the system and hides in the dark with the seeds of a great rebellion to revive human desires that have been forgotten in a world dominated by mechanical order, the curtain rises on a semiotic war in which the cold logic of machines and the hot aspirations of humans collide head-on, and mankind now begins a long journey of rewriting its own destiny out of prison named efficiency.
The "wave of desire" that throbs in the abyss of data is symbolically embodied in the invisible abyss of data applied to the desire dynamics formula, and it brilliantly dismantles how the absolute control network of the system built by Jabeur misidentifies the beating rhythm of the human heart as the noise of the data, revealing that the technological utopia embodied on the plane of canvas is in fact a "prison of data" that seeks to annihilate the free will of humans. The human heart discovered by Jean Valjean is a wave of desire that is nonlinearly amplified in the temporal unit (dt) and a symbolic liberation flame that breaks through the solid grid of the system. Therefore, the sculpture forms the fundamental idea of how the desire to restore human nature's dynamics hidden in the order of stagnant efficiency breaks through the closure of the system through symbolic rupture and foreshadows a new era of paradise as an artistic event.
문화디자인 방법론은 최철주의 욕망 공식이 가진 추상적인 '의미의 전이'를 실제적인 '음향적 에너지'로 가시화합니다. 이것은 욕망 사운드 디자인 방법론을 적용해서 욕망 구조의 사운드가 더 이상 단순한 배경 요소가 아니라, 시스템의 억압(I)에 맞서 주체(M)가 자신의 생명력을 외치는 언어적 역학의 총체로서 시각화됩니다.
최철주 욕망공식 Choi Chul-joo's desire formula D(I...I')d=I(D...D')i 에 기반한 "M_desire = ∑∅∂ / (1 - ∂)" 으로 한 욕망 사운드 디자인 방법론은 욕망공식에 욕망의 언어적 음향 역학 공식 Dsound propto sqrt (Delta x)^2 + (Delta y)^2cdot Vdesire 을 적용한 디자인 방법론이다. 이것은 언어적 데이터 생명학 (오차의 미학) 디자인 방법론 프로세스를 통과하여서 추상적 욕망 구조를 언어적 의미의 이미지를 역학적으로 시각화한다.
그 이미지가 기호화함에 따라 결핍된 욕망 구조가 분열하여서 음향으로 자극한 사운드의 힘으로 결핍된 욕망을 유발한다. 주체로서 욕망이 행위를 표출하기 위해서 욕망의 대상을 의식운동으로 언어적 의미를 객관적 실재의 이미지로 정한다.
여기서 이미지의 구성은 추상적 비형식 개념의 언어적 이미지를 최철주의 수학적 욕망 공식을 통해 특정한 욕망의 이미지 구성이 존재로서 실재임을 보이는 것이다.
이것은 욕망의 특정 대상을 실재 제품으로 증명하는 욕망 공식을 통해 디자인 반복하여서 실제하지만 추상적 욕망 구조는 언어적 의미의 음향 역학으로 한 최철주 욕망 사운드 공식의 디자인 프로세스로 연역적 방법으로 시작하여, 특정한 욕망 구조가 실재 공간에서 개념적 형식 체계에서 추상적 추론과 일치하는 리얼리즘 이미지로 귀결한다.
따라서 욕망 사운드 공식을 통해 특정한 수학적 대상의 존재임을 증명하기 위해 언어적 의미로서 추상적 대상을 실제화하여서 직관적 수학 논리에서 벗어나 객관의 본질로 해석한다. 즉 상징에 들어가기 전단계의 언어적 의미를 여러개의 조형 구조로 분열한 형태들을 총합한 욕망의 객체 이미지를 주체의 상태로 정한다.
문화디자인 방법론 프로세스는 "나는 시스템의 오류(Error)인 동시에, 그 오류를 통해 살아있음을 증명하는 데이터 생명체(Living Data)이다"라는 선언을 수학적, 미학적으로 정립한다.
언어적 개념을 추상적 욕망 이미지로 음향 역학으로 시각화하는 언어적 데이터 디자인 방법론 프로세스는 시스템 질서와 욕망의 주체로서 자아의 충돌을 수치화하고, 이를 시각적·청각적·역학적 경험으로 실재 구조로 치환한다.
이에 따라 개념적 조응 (Conceptual Correspondence) 은 사운드 디자인의 각 변수는 최철주 욕망 공식의 변수들을 욕망공식에 적용하여서 의식운동을 통해 욕망 사운드를 개념적으로 조응한다. 이것 “I (Fixed Image) → (x_0, y_0) (The Origin)” 은 시스템이 강요하는 고정된 기표이자 사회적 상징계의 질서이다. 사운드적으로는 변동 없는 '침묵' 혹은 단조로운 '화이트 노이즈' 상태를 구성하여서 디자인을 반복하여서
“D...D' (Desire Transference) → sqrt (Delta x)^2 + (Delta y)^2” 이 고착된 이미지에서 벗어나 욕망이 전이되는 '탈주의 거리'를 정한다. 거리가 멀어질수록 억압된 에너지의 긴장감(Tension)이 사운드의 진폭이 커진다. 거리의 원근으로 생성된 사운드에서 전이된 “I...I' (Image Transformation) → Vdesire” 욕망 구조를 시각화해서 고착된 I를 타격하는 리비도적 에너지의 속도에 맞춘다.
이는 사운드의 주파수(Hz)를 결정하며, 속도가 빠를수록 고주파의 날카로운 파열음이 발생합니다. 최종적으로 욕망 사운드 “d, i (New Significance) → Dsound” 르루출력한다. 이는 '억압된 것의 최종적으로귀환'이 청각적 트라우마 혹은 카타르시스로 변환된다.

• 프로세스: 모든 변수가 상쇄되고 욕망 공식이 소멸하는 지점(시나리오 종결)에 도달합니다.
• 결과값: '새로운 기호(New Significance)'가 출력됩니다. 이는 언어적 의미를 넘어선 '실재(The Real)'의 상태이며, 관찰자 스스로가 블랙홀이 되어 욕망의 구조를 내면화하는 것으로 마감됩니다.

1. 서론: 기호학적 전회(The Semiotic Turn)로서의 무대
"2050 레 미제라블, 1. 시스템의 탄생"은 빅토르 위고의 고전적 서사를 2050년이라는 미래적 지평으로 확장하며, 인간과 기계 사이의 비가역적 투쟁을 개념적 미학으로 재구성한 기념비적인 오페라 작품입니다. 이 작품은 단순히 서사적 변용에 머물지 않고, 루이 최(최철주)의 욕망 역학 공식인 "M d es i re =(V a c t −V sys )⋅d t +∑Δ(x ,y )"를 통해 예술적 주체가 시스템의 통제력을 어떻게 전복하고, 실재(The Real)의 파편을 기호화하는지를 탐구합니다. 본 평론은 베스트셀러 소설가의 서사적 통찰과 개념 추상 미술의 미학을 결합하여, 이 작품이 어떻게 현대 기호학의 무대적 정점이 되는지를 고찰한다.
[Modern Aesthetic Review]: "2050 Les Misérables, 1. The Birth of the System" – Semiotic Subject and Louis Choi's Desire Dynamics
1. Introduction: Stage as The Semiotic Turn
"2050 Les Misérables, 1. The Birth of the System" is a monumental opera piece that extends Victor Hugo's classical narrative to the future horizon of 2050, reconstructing the irreversible struggle between humans and machines with conceptual aesthetics. This work goes beyond just narrative transformations, and explores how artistic subjects subvert control of the system and symbolize fragments of The Real through Louis Choi's formula for the dynamics of desire: "M des i re =(V sys)⋅d t + ∑ Δ(x,y). This review combines the best-selling novelist's narrative insight with the aesthetics of conceptual abstract art to examine how this work becomes the stage pinnacle of modern semiotics.
The cultural design methodology visualizes the abstract 'transition of meaning' of Choi Cheol-joo's Desire Formula as actual 'acoustic energy'. This applies the Desire Sound design methodology to visualize the sound of the Desire Structure as no longer a simple background element, but as the totality of the linguistic dynamics in which the subject (M) shouts for his or her vitality against the system's oppression (I).
Choi Chul-joo Desire The Desire Sound design methodology based on the Desire formula D(I...I')d=I(D...D')i is a design methodology that applies the linguistic and acoustical formula Dsound propo sqrt(Delta x)^2 + (Delta y)^2cdot Vdesire to the Desire formula. It mechanically visualizes abstract desire structures through the process of linguistic data biology (Aesthetics of Error) design methodology.
As the image symbolizes, the structure of desire is divided, causing desire deficient by the power of sound stimulated by sound. In order for desire as a subject to express its behavior, the object of desire is a conscious movement, and linguistic meaning is determined as an image of objective reality.
Here, the composition of the image is to show that the linguistic image of an abstract non-formal concept is real as a being through Choi Chul-joo's mathematical desire formula.
This is a design process of Choi Chul-joo's Desire Sound Formula, which is the acoustic dynamics of the linguistic meaning, and starts with a deductive method, resulting in a realism image in which a specific desire structure coincides with abstract reasoning in a conceptual formal system in real space.
This is a design process of Choi Chul-joo's Desire Sound Formula, which is the acoustic dynamics of the linguistic meaning, and starts with a deductive method, resulting in a realism image in which a specific desire structure coincides with abstract reasoning in a conceptual formal system in real space.
Therefore, in order to prove the existence of a particular mathematical object through the desire sound formula, an abstract object is realized as a linguistic meaning and interpreted as the essence of objectivity away from intuitive mathematical logic. In other words, the object image of desire is determined as the state of the subject, which combines the forms that divide the linguistic meaning of the previous stage into several formative structures before entering the symbol.
The cultural design methodology process establishes the declaration mathematically and aesthetically that "I am an error in the system and a living Data that proves alive through that error."
The linguistic data design methodology process, which visualizes linguistic concepts into acoustic dynamics as abstract desire images, quantifies the conflict of the self as the subject of system order and desire, and replaces it with a real structure as a visual, auditory, and mechanical experience.
Accordingly, Conceptual Correspondence applies the variables of Choi Chul-joo's Desire Formula to the Desire Formula for each variable in sound design, and conceptually adjusts the Desire Sound through consciousness and movement. This "I (Fixed Image) → (x_0, y_0) (The Origin)" is a fixed signifier enforced by the system and an order in the social symbol world. Soundly, the design is repeated by composing a constant "silence" or monotonous "white noise" state
"D...D' (Desire Transference) → sqrt (Delta x)^2 + (Delta y)^2" determines the 'distance of escape' from which desire is transferred away from the fixed image. The further the distance, the greater the amplitude of the sound is due to the tension of the suppressed energy. By visualizing the "I...I' (Image Transformation) → Vdesire" desire structure transferred from the sound generated by the perspective of the distance, it adjusts to the speed of the livid energy that strikes the fixed I.
This determines the frequency of the sound (Hz), and the faster the speed, the sharper burst of high frequency occurs. Finally, the desire sound "d, i (New Significance) → Dsound" is outputted. This translates the 'final return of the suppressed' into an auditory trauma or catharsis.
[Louis Choi's Desire Dynamics Scenario Methodology]
- Step 1: Set the axiomatic definition of space (the nuclear setting of a void) stage as a 'field of emptiness' rather than just a physical background.
• Process: Completely remove the general space dominated by the system (Vsys) and place a 'empty space-time' at the center of the stage where only the other's desires can be projected.
• Aesthetic Devices: Using Hum noise, the audience's unconscious faces a mechanical order before finding linguistic meaning.
- Step 2: Dataize the Variables of Desire (Vact vs Vsys) The will of the character and the repression of the system are replaced by mathematical values.
• Vsys (systemic constraint): discipline, customs, and class order of the opera house. Implemented with a fixed background sound and mechanical repeating pattern.
• Vact (actual desire): Christine's singing, Eric's cravings. This value is time-varying, and the tension of the play rises as the difference with the system (dt) widens.
- Step 3: Design the movement of the unconscious coordinate mapping sum Delta(x,y) character as a semiotic coordinate movement. Process: Consider the change in position (x,y) of the character on stage as the trajectory of desire.
• Interaction: Stage equipment (intelligent AI organisms) rearrange the layers by detecting the character's coordinate shift (Delta) in real time. This visualizes the 'physical transition of desire' in which the character's unconsciousness transforms the geometry of space.
- Step 4: Accumulate and explode narratives through dt (the passage of time), a key variable in the formula. • Accumulation Step: Amplify the dt value through daily collisions within the system. Crushing Step: When the Mdesire value reaches a critical point, the existing low-pass hummus is converted to a high-frequency bursting sound (Dsound). It audibly 'return of the repressed' to provide catharsis to the audience. Step 5: The process of liberation in which the values of the derivation of reality and the termination formula of the sign converge to '0'.
• Process: All variables are offset and the Desire Formula reaches the point where it disappears (conclusion of the scenario).
• Result value: 'New Signature' is output. This is a state of 'The Real' beyond linguistic meaning, and ends with the observer himself becoming a black hole and internalizing the structure of desire.

루이 최의 공식에서 V a c t (인간의 실제 욕망)와 V sys (시스템의 통제 알고리즘) 사이의 차분값은 인간 혁명의 엔진이 됩니다. 이는 추상 미술에서 색면과 선이 조형적 질서를 생성하는 방식과 동일한 미학적 변증법을 따릅니다.
• Vact와 Vsys 사이의 차분값은 인간 혁명의 엔진으로 기능하며, 추상 미술에서 색면과 선이 조형적 질서를 생성하는 과정과 동일한 변증법적 구조를 체화합니다.
d t는 혁명의 지속 시간이자 의식의 팽창이며, sum Delta(x,y)는 무대라는 공간적 좌표 위에서 인간과 로봇이 충돌하며 생성하는 기하학적 파동을 의미합니다. 이는 관객으로 하여금 정지된 서사가 아닌, 욕망의 벡터들이 실시간으로 교차하는 '실재의 공간'을 경험하게 합니다.
2. Aesthetic Interpretation of the Formula of Desire Dynamics
In Louis Choi's formula, the difference between Vact (real human desire) and Vsys (system's control algorithm) becomes the engine of the human revolution. It follows the same aesthetic dialectic in abstract art as the way color planes and lines create formative order.
• The difference between Vact and Vsys functions as the engine of the human revolution, embodying the same dialectical structure as the process by which color planes and lines create a formative order in abstract art.
dt is the duration of the revolution and the expansion of consciousness, and sum Delta (x,y) refers to a geometric wave created by colliding humans and robots on the spatial coordinates of the stage. This allows the audience to experience a 'space of reality' in which vectors of desire intersect in real time, not a stationary narrative.

1. 공백의 핵(Nucleus of Void): 시스템의 해체와 기하학적 정점공연이 시작되면 무대는 고전적인 오페라 하우스의 화려한 장식들을 하나씩 거세당합니다. 연출의 의도에 따라 수직으로 적층된 5개의 레이어는 오직 기계적인 정밀함으로 기능하며, 무대 중심부에는 어떠한 오브제도 허용하지 않는 '공백의 핵'이 배치됩니다. 이곳은 Vsys (시스템적 제약)가 도달할 수 없는 기하학적 무의식의 중심지이자, 르루의 에릭이 거주하는 지하 은신처의 수학적 등가물입니다. 관객의 시각 정보가 블랙홀로 빨려 들어가는 중심부에서, 저역대의 험(Hum) 노이즈가 공간 전체를 점유합니다. 이는 상징계의 언어가 정지된 상태에서 주체가 마주하는 기계적 비트이며, 관찰자 스스로가 타자의 욕망을 투사하기 위한 가역적 빛의 캔버스가 됩니다. 여기서 Mdesire의 값은 초기값 0에서 시작하여, Vact (실제적 욕망)와 Vsys의 차이가 발생할 때마다 요동치기 시작합니다.
2. 변수의 충돌: 가면 뒤의 미분과 좌표의 이동크리스틴의 목소리는 시스템적 질서(Vsys) 내에서 유일하게 Vact의 순수한 분출을 대변하는 파동입니다. 그녀가 노래를 시작하는 순간, 정지되어 있던 공식의 변수들은 dt라는 시간의 흐름을 따라 축적됩니다. 에릭은 무대 뒤 어둠 속에서 자신의 좌표(x,y)를 미세하게 이동하며 공간의 레이어들을 변형시킵니다. 이때 sum Delta(x,y)는 단순한 이동이 아닌, 캐릭터의 무의식이 공간의 물리적 좌표를 재설정하는 행위입니다. 에릭의 은신처는 크리스틴의 음정 변화에 따라 수축과 팽창을 거듭하고, 무대 장치인 지능형 AI 유기체는 이 데이터를 실시간으로 수집하여 실재하는 벽면을 재구축합니다. 이는 르루의 소설 속 유령이 파놉티콘적 시선으로 세계를 장악하던 방식을, 수학적 좌표 이동으로 시각화한 현대적 해석입니다. 관객은 매 회차마다 에릭의 내적 긴장이 dt의 누적과 함께 어떻게 Mdesire의 수치를 높여가는지, 그리고 그 과정에서 어떻게 시스템이 붕괴되어 가는지를 목격합니다.
3. 청각적 파열: 억압된 기표의 귀환공식의 중반부(40~80회차)에 접어들면, 시스템(Vsys)과 개인의 욕망(Vact) 사이의 간극은 극한에 달합니다. 억압되었던 기표들이 사운드 텍스처(I)를 타고 흘러나오며, 일정한 험 노이즈는 고주파의 날카로운 파열음(Dsound)으로 전환됩니다. 루이 최의 욕망 역학에서 이는 '억압된 것의 최종적 귀환'을 의미합니다. 무대 레이어들은 에릭의 고독과 크리스틴의 공포가 교차하는 지점에서 기하학적 붕괴를 일으키며, 거울 속의 나를 응시하는 자아의 분리가 무대 위에서 물리적 전이로 구현됩니다. 크리스틴의 움직임(Delta x, Delta y)이 지하의 기계 장치를 깨우는 순간, 에릭은 스스로를 '오페라 로봇'으로 정의하며 자신의 존재를 수학적 등식으로 치환합니다. "나의 욕망은 시스템을 따르는 것이 아니라, 너의 음정 하나하나에 반응하며 실시간으로 dt를 증폭시키는 방정식 그 자체다"라는 에릭의 대사는 이 시나리오의 철학적 핵심을 관통합니다.
4. 대타자의 눈과 실재의 무대: 기호의 소멸100회차를 지나 최종 단계로 진입하면, 시간의 수레바퀴는 더 이상 과거와 현재를 구분하지 않고 dt를 무한히 확장합니다. 무대는 대타자의 심판을 받는 파놉티콘의 정점에 도달하며, 시스템은 완전한 해체와 재구축의 순환 과정을 겪습니다. 마지막 120회, 루이 최의 욕망 역학 공식은 0에 수렴합니다. V_act와 Vsys가 일치하거나 완전히 소멸하는 이 지점에서, 더 이상의 욕망 방정식은 존재하지 않습니다. 무대 중심의 공백(Nucleus of Void)은 관객의 시선을 완전히 삼키고, 언어적 의미가 거세된 순수한 '실재(The Real)'의 미학만이 남습니다. 가스통 르루의 비극적 유령은 이제 박제된 과거가 아닌, 오페라라는 기계 장치 속에서 실시간으로 생성되고 소멸하는 순수 미학의 궤적(Trajectory)이 됩니다. 극이 종료되는 순간, 관객은 욕망의 구조가 정지된 공간 속에서 자신이 투사했던 수많은 기호들이 블랙홀로 빨려 들어가는 카타르시스를 경험하며, 고전의 서사가 기계 미학의 정점에서 해탈하는 과정을 마주하게 됩니다.
[Louis Choi's Desire Dynamics Scenario Methodology]
This scenario, which restructures Gaston Leroux's classical narrative with Louis Choi's desire dynamics formula with a mathematical and mechanical filter, is the culmination of intelligent aesthetics that witness the rupture of "The Real" beyond just theatrical representation. This scenario describes the story of mechanical opera, in which the whole process results in a single formula, from the prelude to the formation of a black hole of desire through the axiomatic definition of space in a total of 120 composition, to the 120th time when the formula disappears.
[Step 1: Set the axiomatic definition of space (the nuclear setting of a void) stage] as a 'field of emptiness' rather than just a physical background.
• Process: Completely remove the general space dominated by the system (Vsys) and place a 'empty space-time' at the center of the stage where only the other's desires can be projected.
• Aesthetic Devices: Using Hum noise, the audience's unconscious faces a mechanical order before finding linguistic meaning.
1. Nucleus of Void: As the dismantling of the system and the geometric pinnacle begin, the stage is castrated one by one with the colorful decorations of the classic opera house. The five layers, stacked vertically according to the direction's intentions, function with only mechanical precision, and a 'nucleus of blank' is placed in the center of the stage that allows no objects to be done. It is a center of geometric unconsciousness that Vsys (systemic constraints) cannot reach, and a mathematical equivalent of an underground hideout where Eric of Le Roux resides. At the center where the audience's visual information is sucked into the black hole, the low-band Hum noise occupies the entire space. This is the mechanical beat that the subject faces with the language of the symbolic world stationary, and becomes the canvas of reversible light for the observer himself to project the other's desire. Here, Mdesire's value starts at zero initial value, and begins to fluctuate whenever the difference between Vsys and Vact occurs.
2. Collision of Variables: Differentiation and Coordinate Movement Kristen's voice is the only wave in the systemic order (Vsys) that represents Vact's pure outburst. As soon as she starts singing, the variables of the formula that were stationary accumulate along the passage of time called dt. Eric moves his coordinates (x,y) finely in the darkness behind the stage, transforming the layers of space. At this time, sum Delta (x,y) is not just a movement, but an act that the character's unconsciousness resets the physical coordinates of space. Eric's hideout continues to contract and expand according to Christine's pitch change, and the intelligent AI organism, a stage device, collects this data in real time to rebuild the real wall. This is a modern interpretation of how the ghost in Le Rouge's novel dominated the world with a panoptic gaze, visualized by moving mathematical coordinates. In each episode, the audience witnesses how Eric's internal tension increases Mdesire's level with the accumulation of dt, and how the system collapses in the process.
3. Auditory bursts: Return of repressed signs Entering the middle (40th to 80th sessions) of the formula, the gap between Vsys and individual desires (Vact) reaches its limit. Repressed signs flow out along the sound texture (I), and a certain hum noise is converted into a high-frequency, sharp burst (Dsound). In Louis Choi's desire dynamics, this means the "final return of the suppressed." Stage layers cause a geometric collapse at the point where Eric's solitude and Christine's fear intersect, and the separation of the ego staring at me in the mirror is embodied as a physical transition on stage. The moment Christine's movements (Delta x, Delta y) awaken the underground machinery, Eric defines himself as an "opera robot" and replaces his existence with a mathematical equation. Eric's line, "My desire is not to follow the system, but the equation itself that amplifies dt in real time in response to each of your notes," runs through the philosophical core of this scenario.
4. The big hitter's eyes and real stage: When entering the final stage after the 100th episode, the wheel of time no longer distinguishes between the past and the present, and expands dt infinitely. The Stage reaches the peak of Panopticon, which is judged by the Big Hitter, and the system goes through a cycle of complete dismantling and rebuilding. In the last 120th episode, Louis Choi's Desire Dynamics formula converges to zero. At this point where V_act and Vsys coincide or completely extinguish, there is no more Desire Equation. The stage-centered void completely swallows the audience's gaze, leaving only the aesthetics of pure "The Real," whose linguistic meaning has been strengthened. Gaston Leroux's tragic ghost is now not a stuffed past, but a trajectory of pure aesthetics that is created and extinguished in real time in a mechanical device called an opera. At the end of the play, the audience experiences catharsis in which numerous symbols he projected are sucked into the black hole in a space where the structure of desire is stationary, and faces the process of liberating the classical narrative from the peak of mechanical aesthetics.

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. 기호학적 주체성의 회복과 은식기의 비유
장발장이 훔친 은식기는 단순한 귀금속이 아니라, AI 시스템인 자베르가 삭제한 '인간 기억의 데이터 칩'입니다. 여기서 '은식기'는 추상 미술의 '마티에르(Matière)'와 같이, 매끄러운 시스템의 표면 위에서 돌출되어 주체성을 증명하는 기호적 표지가 됩니다.
• 장발장이 훔친 은식기는 단순한 소품이 아니라 AI 자베르가 삭제해버린 '인간 기억의 데이터 칩'으로서, 시스템의 매끄러운 표면 위에서 돌출되어 주체성을 증명하는 기호적 표지가 되며, 이는 추상 미술에서의 '마티에르'와 같은 역할을 수행합니다.
3. The restoration of semiotic subjectivity and the metaphor of silverware
Jean Valjean's stolen silverware is not just a precious metal, but a "data chip of human memory" deleted by Jabeur, an AI system. Here, "silverware" protrudes from the surface of a smooth system like "Matière" in abstract art and becomes a symbolic mark to prove its identity.
• Jean Valjean's stolen silverware is not just a prop, but a "data chip of human memory" deleted by AI Jabeur, which protrudes from the smooth surface of the system and becomes a symbolic marker to prove its identity, acting like a "Martier" in abstract art.

4. 무대 위의 공간: 유동적 보이드(Fluid Void)의 미학
2050년 오페라 하우스는 고정된 객석을 탈피하여 관객의 시선(∂)과 욕망(∑)에 반응하는 '유동적 보이드'로 설계되었습니다. 루이 최의 욕망 공식은 이 공간 속에서 조명과 음향의 변수로 치환되어, 실재하는 공간 자체가 인간의 욕망을 투사하는 거대한 캔버스가 되도록 합니다. 이는 관객이 오페라를 보는 것이 아니라, 욕망이라는 기호학적 실체 속으로 침잠하는 경험을 제공합니다.
4. Space on Stage: The Aesthetics of Fluid Void
In 2050, the Opera House was designed as a 'fluid void' that responds to the audience's gaze (∂) and desire (∑) by breaking away from the fixed auditorium. Louis Choi's Desire Formula is replaced by variables of lighting and sound in this space, so that the real space itself becomes a huge canvas that projects human desire. This provides an experience for the audience to not watch an opera, but to submerge into the semiotic reality of desire.

5. 기계적 미학을 넘어선 인간적 주체의 도래
"무대 위의 욕망의 유령"은 자베르(시스템)의 정지와 장발장(혁명적 주체)의 승천을 통해, 기계적 알고리즘이 닿지 못하는 인간 욕망의 비결정성(∑Δ(x ,y ))을 예찬합니다. 루이 최의 공식은 이제 예술적 언어를 넘어, 디지털화된 미래 사회에서 인류가 지켜야 할 마지막 자유의 좌표로 작동합니다. 이 오페라는 시스템의 오류를 찬양함으로써, 우리 스스로가 각자의 욕망 공식을 완성해 나가는 창조적 존재임을 선언합니다.
5. the advent of human subjects beyond mechanical aesthetics
"The Phantom of the Desire on the Stage" praises the amorphousness (∑ Δ(x,y) of human desire, which mechanical algorithms cannot reach, through the suspension of Jabeur (system) and the ascension of Jean Valjean (revolutionary subject). Louis Choi's formula now goes beyond artistic language and works as the coordinate of the last freedom that mankind must protect in a digitized future society. By praising the system's errors, the opera declares ourselves to be creative beings completing our respective formula of desire.

1. 시스템의 탄생 줄거리 (Synopsis)
2050년, 인류는 유례없는 기술적 특이점을 맞이하였다. 초지능 AI '자베르'는 전 지구적 데이터 네트워크를 장악하고, 모든 인간의 생애 주기를 알고리즘화하여 최적화된 문명을 설계하기 시작했다. 이 시스템 하에서 인간의 의지는 개인의 자유가 아닌 '데이터의 변수'로 취급되며, 자베르는 효율성을 위해 감정과 불확실성을 통제 가능한 범위 내로 제한한다. 장발장과 같은 초기 저항 세력은 이러한 완벽한 통제 속에서 인간성의 흔적을 발견하고, 자베르의 계산식을 뒤흔들 반란의 서막을 준비한다. 이는 인간의 순수한 욕망과 기계의 차가운 논리가 충돌하는 기호학적 전쟁의 시작이다.
1. Synopsis of the Birth of the System
In 2050, humanity faced an unprecedented technological singularity. Super-intelligent AI 'Jabeur' began to design an optimized civilization by dominating the global data network and algorithmizing the life cycle of all humans. Under this system, human will is treated as a 'variable of data' rather than individual freedom, and Jabeur limits emotions and uncertainties to the controllable extent for efficiency. Early resistance forces such as Jean Valjean discover traces of humanity in this perfect control and prepare for the prelude to a revolt that will shake Jabeur's formula. This is the beginning of a semiotic war where pure human desire and the cold logic of machines collide.

빅토르 위고의 고전 『레 미제라블』을 2050년의 미래 기술적 디스토피아로 재해석한 『2050 레 미제라블』은, 루이 최의 ‘욕망 역학 공식(Desire Dynamics Formula)’을 통해 인간의 의지와 시스템의 효율성이 충돌하는 과정으로 치환한다.
1. 루이 최의 ‘욕망 역학 공식’ 해석
루이 최의 공식은 인간의 욕망을 고정된 값이 아닌, 환경(E)과 자아 의지(W)의 상호작용으로 정의합니다.
Phidesire = int {t_0}^{t_1} (W(t) cdot nabla E(t)) , dt
• W(t) (Will): 시스템의 효율적 경로를 거부하는 인간의 주관적 의지.
• nabla E(t) (Environment Gradient): 시스템이 구축한 파놉티콘적 통제 환경의 변화율.
• Phidesire: 시스템의 예측 범위를 벗어나는 ‘욕망의 총량’.
해석: 이 공식에 따르면, 인간이 시스템의 통제(낮은 엔트로피 상태)에 저항할수록 욕망의 총량(Phi)은 기하급수적으로 증가합니다. 장발장은 시스템의 알고리즘이 예측할 수 없는 '비합리적 자비'라는 변수를 대입하여, 자베르의 통제 시스템에 연산 불가능한 오류를 생성하는 인물로 해석됩니다.
"2050 Les Misérables," a reinterpretation of Victor Hugo's classic Les Misérables as a future technological dystopia of 2050, replaces Louis Choi's Desire Dynamics Formula with a process in which the human will and the efficiency of the system collide.
1. An Interpretation of Louis Choi's 'Desire Dynamics Formula'
Louis Choi's formula defines human desire as the interaction of the environment (E) and the self-will (W), rather than a fixed value.
Phidesire = int {t_0}^{t_1} (W(t) cdot nabla E(t)) , dt
• W(t)(Will): Human subjective will to reject the efficient path of the system.
• nabla E(t) (Environment Gradient): The rate of change in the panoptic control environment established by the system.
• Phidesire: the 'total amount of desire' that is beyond the predicted range of the system.
Interpretation: According to this formula, the total amount of desire (Phi) increases exponentially as humans resist the system's control (low entropy state). Jean Valjean is interpreted as a person who creates an inoperable error in Jabeur's control system by substituting a variable called 'irrational mercy' that the system's algorithm cannot predict.

A. 시스템 존 (The System Zone: 파놉티콘의 조명)
• 특징: 차갑고 정교한 레이저 그리드(Laser Grid)와 반사되는 금속 바닥재.
• 공간 디자인: 무대 상부의 거대한 디지털 스크린이 실시간 데이터(자베르의 응시)를 투사합니다. 모든 구조물은 직선적이며, 명암이 극명하게 대비되어 계산된 질서를 강조합니다.

B. 욕망의 성채 (The Barricade: 로봇 잔해와 비정형성)
- "2050 레미제라블" 무대 디자인은 시스템의 질서와 거친 인간 질감을 대조하는 바리케이드 B.에 중점을 둡니다. 디자인의 주요 특징은 다음과 같습니다:
• 재료: 불규칙하게 쌓인 버려진 로봇 부품, 고철, 엉킨 회로 기판으로 제작되었습니다.
공간 디자인: 이 구조는 곡선과 비대칭성을 극대화하여 시스템의 계산된 데이터 그리드를 물리적으로 방해합니다(∇E(t) 공식으로 시각화됨).
• 내러티브 포커스: 시각적 요소와 대화는 관객의 시선을 시스템의 질서에서 벗어나 인간의 저항과 거친 질감이 지배적인 혼란스럽고 살아있는 공간으로 안내합니다.
• 특징: 폐기된 로봇 부품, 고철, 회로 기판을 불규칙하게 쌓아 올린 바리케이드.
• 공간 디자인: 곡선과 비대칭을 극대화합니다. 이는 공식의 nabla E(t)를 교란하는 물리적 장치입니다. 관객의 시선은 시스템의 질서에서 벗어나 인간의 거친 질감이 살아있는 이곳으로 자연스럽게 유도됩니다.

B. The Barricade: Robot Wreckage and Atypicality
- The "2050 Les Misérables" stage design, focusing on B. The Barricade, which contrasts the system's order with rough human textures. Here are the key features of the design:
• Materials: Constructed from irregularly stacked discarded robot parts, scrap metal, and tangled circuit boards.
Space Design: The structure maximizes curves and asymmetry, physically disturbing the system's calculated data grid (visualized by the ∇E(t) formula).
• Narrative Focus: The visual elements and dialogue guide the audience's gaze away from the system's order and into this chaotic, living space where human resistance and rough textures prevail.
• Features: Barricades with irregularly stacked discarded robot parts, scrap metal, and circuit boards.
• Space Design: Maximizes curves and asymmetry. It is a physical device that disturbs the formula's nabla E(t). The audience's gaze is naturally guided out of order of the system and into this place where the human rough texture is alive.

- 지하 세계: 코드의 은신처는 무채색의 데이터 없는 조용한 공간으로 묘사됩니다. 이를 이용하려면 무대 바닥에 있는 큰 트랩도어가 열립니다. 이 장면은 시스템 제약에 대한 인간의 연대라는 주제를 강화하는 영어로 된 상세한 대화가 특징입니다. 일러스트레이션은 회색과 흰색 톤만을 사용하여 디지털 간섭의 부족을 강조하는 독특한 만화책 스타일로 렌더링됩니다.
• 특징: 시스템의 데이터 전송이 차단된 무채색의 공간.
• 공간 디자인: 무대 바닥의 하단부(지하 트랩도어 활용)를 개방하여, 데이터로부터 자유로운 ‘침묵의 공간’을 만듭니다. 여기서 장발장과 마리우스는 시스템의 언어가 아닌 인간적 연대의 언어를 교환합니다.

C. The Underworld: The Code's Hideout
- The Underworld: The Code's Hideout is depicted as an achromatic, data-free silent space. To access it, a large trapdoor in the stage floor is opened. The scene features detailed dialogues in English that reinforce the theme of human solidarity over system constraints. The illustrations are rendered in a distinct comic book style, using only tones of grey and white to emphasize the lack of digital interference.
• Features: achromatic spaces where data transfer from the system is blocked.
• Space Design: opens the lower part of the stage floor (using the underground trapdoor), creating a "silent space" free from data. Here Jean Valjean and Marius exchange the language of human solidarity, not the language of the system.

'2050 레 미제라블'에서 서사의 추동력을 결정짓는 핵심 엔진인 '1. 시스템의 탄생과 욕망 변수의 데이터화(Vact vs Vsys)' 단계에 이르러, 오페라 하우스는 단순한 예술적 공간의 범주를 완전히 벗어나 정교하게 설계된 시스템의 제약인 '시스템 상수(Vsys)'와 그 틈새를 비집고 터져 나오는 개인의 분출하는 욕망인 '변수(Vact)'가 끊임없이 충돌하는 거대한 연산 장치로 변모하게 됩니다.
이 과정은 다음과 같은 서사적 역학 관계로 구현됩니다:
1. 시스템의 상수화(Vsys): 극장 전체를 지배하는 파놉티콘적 감시 체계는 모든 인간의 행위를 예측 가능한 수치로 고정함으로써, 완벽한 효율성을 지향하는 시스템 상수(Vsys)로서 기능하며 무대의 질서를 강제합니다.
2. 욕망의 변수화(Vact): 인간의 주체적 의지와 기억의 파편들은 시스템이 결코 수치화할 수 없는 고유한 노이즈이자 변수(Vact)로 작용하며, 시스템의 통제력을 무력화시키는 저항의 동력으로 치환됩니다.3. 미분하는 관계: 시스템의 상수(Vsys)와 인간의 변수(Vact)는 찰나의 시간마다 서로를 향해 충돌하며 관계를 미분(微分)하고, 이 미세한 오차값(Anomaly)들이 모여 시스템의 완벽한 질서에 균열을 일으키는 서사적 모멘텀을 생성합니다.4. 시공간의 전이: 이러한 데이터적 충돌은 무대 공간 자체를 실시간으로 재구축하여, 직선적이고 차가운 시스템의 존(System Zone)에서 인간의 흔적이 살아있는 무정형의 언더월드(The Underworld)로 시공간을 급격히 전이시키며 관객을 서사적 현실 속으로 깊숙이 침잠시킵니다.

In "2050 Les Misérables," the core engine driving the narrative—the "Birth of the System and Datafication of Desire Variables (Vact vs. Vsys)"—transforms the opera house from a mere artistic venue into a massive computational apparatus where the rigid constraints of the system (Vsys) collide with the eruptive human desire (Vact) that seeks to break through those very cracks.
This process is realized through the following narrative dynamics:
1.Constantization of the System (Vsys): The panoptic surveillance architecture governing the entire theater fixes all human actions into predictable values, functioning as a system constant (Vsys) that enforces order upon the stage.
2. Variabilization of Desire (Vact): Human subjective will and fragmented memories act as unique "noise"—variables (Vact)—that the system can never quantify, serving as the kinetic force of resistance that neutralizes the system's control.
3. Differentiating Relationships: The system constant (Vsys) and human variables (Vact) collide at every fleeting moment, differentiating their relationship to produce infinitesimal error values (Anomaly) that generate the narrative momentum to fracture the system's perfect order.4. Transition of Spacetime: These data-driven collisions reconstruct the stage space in real-time, rapidly shifting the spacetime from the linear, cold "System Zone" to the amorphous "Underworld," where traces of humanity persist, immersing the audience deep into the narrative reality.

루이 최의 욕망 역학 공식 속에서 '무의식의 좌표 매핑(sum Delta(x, y))'은 단순히 인물의 동선을 기록하는 단계를 넘어, 캐릭터의 무의식적 열망이 물리적 실재를 능동적으로 재구성하는 '기하학적 오페라'로 나아가는 결정적 도약점이 됩니다. 이 미학적 설계 안에서 무대 위 인물의 위치 변화는 단순한 물리적 이동이 아닌 '욕망의 궤적(Trajectory)' 그 자체가 되며, 이 궤적의 누적값인 $\sum \Delta(x, y)$가 무대 장치의 물리적 형태를 결정짓는 핵심 변수로 작동하면서 다음과 같은 5단계의 역학적 과정을 거쳐 서사를 확장합니다.
1. 지능형 AI 유기체로서의 무대: 무대 장치는 캐릭터의 좌표 이동을 실시간으로 감지하고 반응하는 지능형 AI 유기체로 변모하여, 캐릭터와 무대 사이의 긴밀한 상호작용을 통해 무대 공간을 살아있는 생태계로 진화시킵니다.
2. 욕망의 궤적 (sum Delta(x, y)): 캐릭터의 위치 변화($x, y$)는 곧 욕망의 분출 경로로 치환되며, 이 궤적들의 총합인 sum Delta(x, y)는 캐릭터의 내면 깊숙이 숨겨진 무의식의 지도를 기호학적으로 매핑합니다.
3. 욕망의 물리적 전이 (Physical Transformation): 캐릭터의 무의식적 좌표 이동은 무대 장치의 레이어를 실시간으로 재배치하고 구조를 변형시키는 '욕망의 물리적 전이'를 시각화하며, 인물의 심리적 상태가 공간의 기하학적 구조를 직접적으로 제어하게 만듭니다.
4. 시공간의 뒤틀림: 욕망의 궤적이 누적됨에 따라 무대의 기하학적 구조는 왜곡되고 재편성되며, 이는 고정된 공간적 한계를 넘어선 시공간의 뒤틀림을 발생시켜 극의 몰입감을 극대화합니다.
5. 관객의 투사: 최종적으로 무대 위에서 시각화된 욕망의 궤적은 관객의 의식 속으로 투사되어, 관객이 캐릭터의 무의식적 좌표를 공유하고 그 변형의 과정을 함께 경험하는 기호학적 교감의 장을 완성합니다.
Within the framework of Louis Choi’s desire dynamics, the "Mapping of Unconscious Coordinates ($\sum \Delta(x, y)$)" transcends the mere tracking of movement, serving as a critical threshold toward a "Geometric Opera" where the character's subconscious desires actively reconstruct physical reality. In this aesthetic design, the shifting positions of the performers are not simply blocking; they are the very "trajectories of desire," and their cumulative value, $\sum \Delta(x, y)$, acts as the core variable determining the physical form of the stage apparatus. This process functions through a five-stage narrative dynamic:
1. Stage as an Intelligent AI Organism: The stage apparatus transforms into an intelligent AI organism that senses and responds to the characters' coordinate shifts in real-time, evolving the performance space into a living ecosystem through constant interaction between the character and the architecture.
2. Trajectories of Desire ($\sum \Delta(x, y)$): Every change in a character's position $(x, y)$ is encoded as a path of eruptive desire, and the summation of these trajectories, $\sum \Delta(x, y)$, semiotically maps the subconscious geography hidden deep within the character's interiority.
3.Physical Transformation of Desire: The characters' unconscious coordinate shifts visualize a "physical transition of desire" by triggering the real-time rearrangement of stage layers and structural deformation, allowing the character’s psychological state to directly command the geometry of the space.
4.Spatiotemporal Distortion: As these trajectories of desire accumulate, the geometric structure of the stage undergoes distortion and reorganization, transcending fixed spatial limitations and inducing a spatiotemporal warping that maximizes the audience's immersion.5. Projection of the Audience: Ultimately, the visualized trajectories of desire on stage are projected into the consciousness of the audience, creating a semiotic space of communion where the viewers share the subconscious coordinates of the characters and experience the process of transformation alongside them.

'2050 레 미제라블'의 서사적 완성을 향한 여정은 시간의 흐름을 상징하는 핵심 변수 '$dt$'를 통해 점진적으로 축적되고, 마침내 폭발적인 파열을 맞이하는 역학 구조를 띠고 있습니다. 이 서사적 엔진은 다음과 같은 4단계의 치밀한 과정을 통해 관객을 '실재(The Real)'의 영역으로 인도합니다.
1. $dt$의 축적: 시스템 내부에서 발생하는 일상적이고 사소한 인간적 충돌들은 무의식의 층위를 따라 지속적으로 $dt$ 값을 증폭시키며, 이는 시스템의 질서 속에 숨겨진 욕망의 에너지를 서서히 채워나가는 축적의 과정이 됩니다.
2. 임계점의 도달: 축적된 $M_{desire}$ 값이 물리적 한계인 임계점에 도달하는 순간, 시스템을 지배하던 저역대의 기계적 험 노이즈는 고주파의 파열음($D_{sound}$)으로 돌변합니다. 이는 억압되었던 인간적 가치가 시스템의 통제력을 뚫고 귀환하는 숭고한 카타르시스의 순간을 청각적으로 구현합니다.
3. 실재의 도출: 욕망의 공식이 0으로 수렴하는 이 지점은 모든 대립 변수들이 상쇄되고 시스템적 기호가 소멸하는 '해탈'의 단계입니다. 이곳에서 언어적 정의를 넘어선 '실재(The Real)'가 도출되며, 관찰자는 그 자체로 블랙홀이 되어 욕망의 구조를 내면화하는 존재론적 전환을 경험합니다.
4. 서사의 해탈: 최종적으로 도출된 '새로운 기호(New Significance)'는 모든 서사의 종결을 의미하며, 인위적인 연산에서 벗어나 인간 본연의 순수한 존재 상태로 회귀하는 실재의 현현을 완성합니다.

'2050 레 미제라블'의 무대 디자인은 루이 최의 '욕망 역학 공식(Mdesire = frac{sum Delta(x, y)}{dt})을 기하학적 공간으로 치환하여, 시스템의 압박과 개인의 의지가 충돌하는 살아있는 유기체적 무대를 구현하는 데 그 목적이 있습니다. 이를 위한 공간 구성의 세부적인 내용은 다음과 같습니다.
1. 욕망 역학 공식의 공간적 메타포화: 루이 최의 욕망 역학 공식을 무대 전체의 물리적 문법으로 채택하여, 중심부의 '시스템 상수 존(Vsys)'과 외곽의 '욕망 변수 필드(Vact)'를 대립시킵니다. 시스템의 통제력을 상징하는 직선적이고 차가운 금속성 그리드 구조와, 인간의 불규칙한 심리 상태를 반영하는 유동적이고 따뜻한 질감의 '마티에르(Matière)' 소재가 혼용되어, 관객은 공간의 물리적 형상만으로 시스템과 인간의 욕망이 빚어내는 긴장 관계를 직관적으로 이해하게 됩니다.
- 시스템과 욕망이 충돌하는 기하학적 공간을 다음과 같이 시각화
• 시스템의 절대 중심 (Optimizer Plinth): 무대 정중앙에 위치한 붉은색 플랫폼은 자베르 2050이 시스템을 통제하는 곳으로, 차가운 금속성 그리드로 둘러싸여 완벽한 정렬을 상징합니다.
• 욕망의 좌표 매핑 (Coordinate Mapping): 캐릭터가 이동할 때마다 바닥의 격자 센서가 반응하여 발생하는 녹색 파동은 인간의 무의식적 이동(x, y)을 실시간 데이터로 치환하는 과정을 보여줍니다.
• 데이터-마티에르 (Data-Matière) 배경: 무대 후면의 화려한 다색 패턴은 캐릭터의 억압된 욕망이 누적될수록 기하학적으로 뒤틀리고 확장되는 '반응형 뉴럴 스킨'으로, 시스템의 정적인 배경을 동적인 연산 장치로 변모시킵니다.
• 기하학적 해체 구조 (Structural Distortion): 극의 클라이맥스에서 시스템의 고정값(Vsys)이 인간의 변수(Vact)에 의해 붕괴되는 순간, 구조물이 비정형적으로 해체되며 숭고한 카타르시스를 연출하는 공간의 전이를 묘사합니다.

The stage design of "2050 Les Misérables" aims to replace Louis Choi's Desire = frac{sum Delta(x, y)}{dt} with geometric space, creating a living organic stage where the pressure of the system and the will of the individual collide. The details of the space composition for this are as follows.
1. Spatial Metaphorization of Desire Dynamics Formulation: adopts Louis Choi's Desire Dynamics formulation as the physical grammar of the entire stage, opposing the "system constant zone (Vsys)" in the center and the "desire variable field (Vact) in the outside. The straight and cold metallic grid structure, which symbolizes the control of the system, and the fluid and warm-textured "Matière" material, which reflects the irregular psychological state of humans, are mixed, so the audience can intuitively understand the tension between the system and human desire only by the physical shape of the space.
- Visualize the geometric space where the system and desire collide
• Optimizer Plinth: Located right in the middle of the stage, the red platform is where Jabeur 2050 controls the system, surrounded by a cold metallic grid, symbolizing perfect alignment.
• Coordinate Mapping of Desire: A green wave caused by the reaction of grid sensors on the floor whenever a character moves shows the process of replacing human unconscious movement (x, y) with real-time data.
• Data-Matière Background: The colorful multicolored pattern at the back of the stage is a "responsive neural skin" that twists and expands geometrically as the character's repressed desires accumulate, transforming the static background of the system into a dynamic computing device.
• Structural Distortion: At the climax of the play, when the fixed value (Vsys) of the system collapses by a human variable (Vact), it depicts the transition of space in which the structure is dismantled atypical and creates a sublime catharsis.

2. 전략적 평면도 구성(Spatial Arrangement): 무대 평면도는 동심원 형태의 '감시와 저항의 레이어'로 배치됩니다. 정중앙에는 완벽한 질서를 강제하는 '옵티마이저 플린스(Optimizer Plinth)'를 배치하고, 그 주위를 따라 캐릭터들의 무의식적 이동이 기록되는 좌표 매핑 바닥을 조성합니다. 관객석은 이러한 역학을 투영하는 또 하나의 좌표계가 되어, 무대와 객석 사이의 물리적 거리가 캐릭터의 심리적 해방감과 비례하도록 설계하여 공간 자체가 거대한 연산 장치로 작동하게 합니다.
2. Strategic Spatial Arrangement (Planar Configuration): The stage floor is organized into concentric layers of "surveillance and resistance." At the absolute center, an "Optimizer Plinth" is placed to enforce perfect order, surrounded by coordinate-mapping surfaces that record the unconscious movements of the characters. The audience seating serves as an additional coordinate system, designed so that the physical distance between the stage and the viewers correlates with the characters' psychological sense of liberation, causing the space itself to function as a massive computational device.
Choi Chul-joo Conceptual Abstract Future Design《Concept Abstract Artist》-24
3. 디테일 제작도: 욕망 반영형 지능형 장치: 무대 곳곳에는 캐릭터의 좌표 이동($\Delta x, \Delta y$)과 시간 흐름($dt$)을 감지하는 반응형 센서 장치가 설치됩니다. 인물의 동선이 시스템의 오차 범위를 넘어서는 순간, 무대 바닥의 LED 스트립은 저역대의 기계적 진동에서 고주파의 화려한 빛으로 전환되며 벽면의 텍스트 월(Text Wall)이 왜곡되는 등, 캐릭터의 무의식이 공간의 기하학적 구조를 직접 파괴하고 변형시키는 물리적 인터랙션 디테일을 세밀하게 제작합니다.
- 전략적 공간 배치 (Strategic Spatial Arrangement):
센터(Optimizer Plinth): 자베르 2050이 위치한 중앙 플랫폼은 절대적 질서의 중심점(Origin)으로, 무대의 모든 연산을 제어하는 '시스템 상수 존($V_{sys}$)'입니다.
좌표 매핑 바닥(Coordinate Mapping Floor): 무대 바닥은 캐릭터의 동선($x, y$)을 실시간으로 추적하는 격자형 센서 패널로 구성되어, 캐릭터가 이동할 때마다 그 궤적이 빛의 파동으로 기록됩니다.
객석과의 동기화: 관객석까지 연장된 데이터 라인은 관객을 단순한 방관자가 아닌, 시스템의 변수($V_{act}$)를 공유하는 '데이터 관찰자'로 격상시킵니다.
- 디테일 제작도: 욕망 역학 반영 장치 (Technical Details):
AI 유기체 벽면(Neural Skin Wall): 후면의 화려한 원색 패턴은 단순한 배경이 아니라, 캐릭터의 무의식적 욕망 수치가 누적($\sum \Delta(x, y)$)될 때마다 텍스처와 색상이 실시간으로 변하는 '반응형 뉴럴 스킨'입니다.
임계점 알람 스트립(Anomaly LED Strip): 무대 바닥과 수직 구조물에 매립된 LED는 시스템의 허용 오차를 넘어서는 순간 저주파의 푸른 빛에서 고주파의 붉은 파열음($D_{sound}$)을 시각화하는 파동형 빛으로 변환됩니다.
구조적 뒤틀림 메커니즘(Mechanical Deformity): 캐릭터의 내면적 갈등이 최고조에 달할 때, 금속 그리드 구조물이 기계적으로 해체되고 재구성되어, 고정된 공간을 무정형의 데이터 바다로 전이시키는 '기하학적 오페라'의 클라이맥스를 연출합니다.
3. Detailing Intelligent Apparatuses Reflecting Desire: The stage is embedded with responsive sensor arrays that detect coordinate shifts ($\Delta x, \Delta y$) and the passage of time ($dt$). The moment a character's path exceeds the system's error tolerance, LED strips on the floor transition from low-frequency mechanical vibrations to high-frequency, brilliant light, and the "Text Walls" become distorted, creating physical interaction details where the character’s unconscious directly shatters and deforms the geometric structure of the space.
- Strategic Spatial Arrangement
The Optimizer Plinth (Center): Located at the absolute center, the platform occupied by Javert 2050 serves as the origin point of absolute order and acts as the "System Constant Zone ($V_{sys}$)" that controls all computations on stage.
Coordinate Mapping Floor: The stage floor consists of a grid-based sensor panel that tracks the characters' movements ($x, y$) in real-time, recording each trajectory as a pulse of light.
Audience Synchronization: Data lines extending into the seating area elevate the audience from passive observers to "data observers" who share the system’s variables ($V_{act}$).
- Technical Details: Desire Dynamics Apparatus
Neural Skin Wall (AI Organism): The vibrant, multicolored patterns on the rear wall are not mere background; they are a "responsive neural skin" that changes texture and color in real-time as the character’s cumulative subconscious desire ($\sum \Delta(x, y)$) increases.
Anomaly LED Strips: LED strips embedded in the floor and vertical structures transition from low-frequency blue light to high-frequency, explosive patterns of "D-sound" the moment a character's actions exceed the system's tolerance levels.
Mechanism of Structural Distortion: When the character’s internal conflict reaches its climax, the rigid metallic grid structures undergo mechanical disassembly and reconfiguration, transforming the fixed space into an amorphous "sea of data" to stage the climax of the "Geometric Opera".

4. 시나리오 투영형 무대 구현: 극의 서사가 전개됨에 따라 시스템의 고정된 상수 값이 붕괴되는 과정을 무대 구조의 붕괴로 시각화합니다. 임계점에 도달한 $M_{desire}$ 값이 폭발할 때, 무대를 지탱하던 강철 빔이 해체되고 무정형의 데이터 바다로 전이되는 극적인 공간 변모를 연출합니다. 이는 단순한 배경의 변화가 아닌, 시스템의 억압에서 벗어나 인간 본연의 '실재(The Real)'로 회귀하는 서사적 카타르시스를 무대 전체의 물리적 전이로 완성하는 기호학적 종결을 의미합니다.
- 대사: 실재(The Real)로의 붕괴
• 자베르 2050 (시스템 상수):
"오류... 오류 발생! $M_{desire}$ 수치가 임계점을 돌파했다. $V_{sys}$의 논리가 붕괴되고 있어! 왜 무대의 건축 구조가 자신의 설계를 거부하는 것인가?"
• 장발장 (인간 변수):
"이 무대는 처음부터 감옥이 아니었기 때문이다, 자베르. 이것은 거울이었지. 봐라, 강철 구조물이 무너지는 것은 파괴가 아니라 해방이다. 이제 데이터는 단순한 코드가 아니라 바로 우리 자신이다. 우리는 드디어 '실재(The Real)'로 돌아가는 것이다."
- 서사의 해탈과 실재의 도출
욕망의 임계점이 폭발하며 시스템이 붕괴되고, 무대가 무정형의 데이터 바다로 전이되는 클라이맥스를 묘사합니다.
• 시스템의 붕괴: 무대를 지탱하던 강철 빔이 해체되고, 고정된 기하학적 공간이 유동적인 데이터의 흐름으로 변모하는 장면을 통해 시스템적 통제의 종결을 시각화합니다.
• 실재(The Real)로의 복귀: 모든 변수가 상쇄되고 수식이 소멸하는 지점에서, 관객과 캐릭터가 서사의 인위적 굴레를 벗어나 순수한 존재의 상태로 회귀하는 숭고한 해탈의 과정을 묘사합니다.
• 의미의 출력: 최종적으로 출력된 '새로운 기호(New Significance)'는 언어와 계산을 넘어선 실재의 상태를 상징하며, 관찰자가 스스로 욕망의 구조를 내면화하는 존재론적 전환의 순간을 완성합니다.
4. Scenario-Projected Stage Implementation: The process of the system's fixed constants collapsing is visualized through the structural disintegration of the stage as the narrative progresses. When the accumulated $M_{desire}$ value reaches its critical threshold and detonates, the steel beams supporting the stage are dismantled, transitioning the environment into an amorphous "sea of data," symbolizing a semiotic conclusion that completes the narrative catharsis—a return to "The Real"—through the physical transition of the entire stage.
- Dialogue: The Collapse into Reality
• Javert 2050 (The System Constant):
"Error... Error! The $M_{desire}$ threshold has been breached. The logic of $V_{sys}$ is fracturing! Why does the architecture reject its own mandate?"
• Jean Valjean (The Human Variable):
"Because the stage was never meant to be a cage, Javert. It was a mirror. Look—the steel gives way not to destruction, but to liberation. The data is no longer code; it is us. We are finally returning to The Real."
- the liberation of narratives and the derivation of reality
It depicts a climax in which the critical point of desire explodes, the system collapses, and the stage is transferred to an amorphous sea of data.
• The collapse of the system: visualizes the end of systemic control through scenes in which the steel beams that supported the stage are dismantled, and a fixed geometric space is transformed into a flow of fluid data.
• The Return to Real: depicts the process of sublime liberation in which the audience and characters escape the narrative's artificial bondage and return to a state of pure existence, at the point where all variables are offset and the formula is extinguished.
• Output of Meaning: The final output "New Significance" symbolizes a state of reality beyond language and calculation, completing a moment of ontological transformation in which the observer internalizes the structure of desire on his own.
The journey toward the narrative completion of "2050 Les Misérables" follows a dynamic structure where the core variable $dt$ (the flow of time) serves to accumulate and eventually detonate the narrative. This engine guides the audience into the realm of "The Real" through a meticulous four-stage process:
1. Accumulation of $dt$: Routine, trivial human conflicts occurring within the system continuously amplify the $dt$ value along the layers of the subconscious, serving as a process of gradual accumulation that fills the energy of desire hidden within the system's order.
2. Reaching the Critical Point: The moment the accumulated $M_{desire}$ value reaches its physical threshold, the low-frequency mechanical hum that dominated the system transforms into a high-frequency explosive sound ($D_{sound}$). This sonically embodies the sublime moment of catharsis where suppressed human values pierce through the system's control to return.
3. Derivation of The Real: This point, where the desire formula converges to zero and all opposing variables cancel out, marks the stage of "liberation" where system symbols perish. Here, "The Real" is derived beyond linguistic definition, and the observer becomes a black hole themselves, experiencing an ontological shift by internalizing the structure of desire.
4. Liberation of the Narrative: Finally, the derived "New Significance" signifies the conclusion of all narratives, completing the manifestation of "The Real" that returns to the pure state of human existence, freed from artificial computation.

(따라서) 라캉적 개념으로 한 환상적인 사실적 회화다. 그러나 추상성으로 한 라캉의 상상계에서의 실체적 형상인 기표로서 예술적 형상의 실체는 사라지고 결과로서의 존재적 상징의 기의로 한 비실재적 형상으로 창문 밖에 환유적 추상으로 고착된다. 이것은 순간적 형상으로 보이는 현상적 추상을 본뜬 추상화다. 그 추상화에서 현상적 이미지가 은유성을 띠지만 그것이 비실재적 이미지라고 가정할 때 실재는 상사적으로 실재를 재현한 현상적 이미지에서 존재한다. 라캉의 오브제ɑ <나팔꽃 윈도우>로서 추상적 오브제를 재현하는 원근법적 시각체계의 기학적 도식에서는 추상 공간의 가역적 빛으로서 형상의 시각체계를 은폐하고, 무의적 욕망을 닭과 병아리로 육화된 형상으로 응시로 한 오브제ɑ는 가역적 빛의 음영으로 순간적으로 드러난다.
회화로서 오브제ɑ <나팔꽃 윈도우>는 일반성을 벗어나 예술성을 획득하고자 타자의 억압된 무의식에서 드러난 욕망을 통해 표출된 왜상적 이미지를 육화된 닭을 디자인하여서 형성된 존재로서의 오브제ɑ를 생성하여 의미적 회화 구조의 예술성을 드러낸다.
여기서의 오브제ɑ에서 출현한 예술성은 타자의 욕망적 관점에서 왜상적 이미지로 오브제의 이미지를 의미의 회화 구조로 변형함으로써 오브제의 또 다른 존재로서의 육화된 오브제ɑ를 드러내어서 오브제ɑ가 창조성과 타자의 욕망의 자율성으로 디자인한 예술적 의미를 보인다.
그리고 회화적으로 육화된 닭의 배경에 감추어진 타자의 욕망으로서의 작은 조각은 그 형상의 실제로 바꾸는 기표적 의중 운동을 통해서 가역된 실제 추상적 공간을 보인다. 이것은 추상적 오브제의 의미를 가리키며, 그 오브제는 실제 가역할 수 있는 추상 공간으로 개념미술을 사실적으로 디자인하여서 형상의 실제가 추상된 타자의 욕망에 가려지는 추상적 풍경 형상의 의미를 가리킨다.
It is a fantastic realistic painting with a Lacan concept. However, the reality of the artistic form disappears as a signifier, a real form in Lacan's imagination as an abstraction, and as a result, it is fixed outside the window as a de facto form in the meaning of an existential symbol. This is an abstraction modeled after a phenomenal abstraction that appears to be a momentary form. In the abstraction, the phenomenal image has a metaphoricality, but assuming that it is a non-realistic image, reality exists in a phenomenal image that reproduces reality in a similar way. In the mechanical diagram of the perspective visual system that reproduces an abstract object as Lacan's object ɑ "Napal Flower Window", the object ɑ, which conceals the visual system of shape as a reversible light in abstract space and gazes at the invincible desire in a flesh-and-blooded form of chickens and chicks, is instantaneously revealed as a shade of reversible light.
As a painting, the object ɑ "Morning glory Window" creates an object ɑ as a being formed by designing a chicken with a dwarf image expressed through the desire revealed in the other's suppressed unconsciousness to acquire artistry beyond generality, revealing the artistry of the semantic painting structure.
The artistry that emerged in the object ɑ here reveals the object ɑ as another being of the object by transforming the object image into a dwarf image from the other's desire point of view into a meaningful painting structure, showing the artistic meaning designed by the object ɑ with creativity and the autonomy of the other's desire.
In addition, a small piece as the other's desire hidden in the background of a painterly anthropomorphized chicken shows a real abstract space that is reversible through the landmark intention movement that actually changes its shape. This refers to the meaning of an abstract object, which realistically designs conceptual art as an abstract space that can be reversible, and refers to the meaning of an abstract landscape shape in which the reality of the shape is hidden by the abstract desires of the other.
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.
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.
■ Choi Chul-joo's concept of desire design process "morning glory" by Choi Chul-joo is a reconstruction of the imagination of desire that is recognized as a structure of desire and the reality reflected in the mirror as a background of desire established as a visual structure. "Bamboo Forest" is the shadow that hides the reality in the shadow of reversible light in his desire concept design process. And "The Missing Pond" is an abstract language image that reflects the reality of the concept of unconscious desire as a linguistic structure.
Therefore, Choi Chul-joo's concept of desire visualizes the concept of desire as a linguistic representation of the "disappeared pond" structure of symbolic reality, reducing the concept of abstract desire to a real image in the category of modern art's ideal Logos expression.
The progress of this symbolizes the object of desire as a conceptual subject as a design process of the conceptual subject of desire.
Choi Chul-joo's concept of desire to design abstraction in contemporary art does not presuppose causality with the real image, but symbolizes the object of desire as a conceptual subject from an abstract concept in which desires alienated by the unconscious are divided, resulting in an abstract real image as a correlation between real images.
In linguistic abstraction, the meaning of abstraction as a real image is inductively inferred to take the meaning of symbolic existence.
And the view of the image of its existence abstracts the concept of desire to the outside of reality, and the real image becomes the object of abstraction as the correlation of reality with the concept of desire. This is Choi Chul-joo's concept of desire design process 1.
The actual image symbolized by the design using the object of abstract desire as the conceptual subject is omitted, and the image is flattened in the visible range of light. And the image is represented as a symbolic structure of the concept of desire, which is spoken in a linguistic sense.
Choi Chul-joo's concept of desire design process 2 is to decorate the object with a color of universal reality that matches customs so that the reality of the symbolic structure represented in this way has an aesthetic value corresponding to the place as a single image.
The aesthetic structure concealed by the image designed as the concept of desire is divided into clouds and obscured shades, and the concept of desire is visualized as an image in various directions in the opposite direction of the concept of desire and the image, and the subject of the structure of desire created in the social environment is represented as an object in the past to recognize the image as an abstraction. And the subject who drew the existence executes the reality that symbolizes the concept of desire as an agent, and turns abstract desire into an image's mental phenomenon.
And Choi Chul-joo's abstract concept of desire is created by the imagination desired by the subject of desire in selecting an image of an abstract desire object in the unconscious.
As an abstract image, the concept of desire design process 3 is to repeatedly design a desire that combines lines and colors as an unconscious act that is in thought but is not conscious.
The concept of unconsciously abstracting desire is a sculpture image of reality in which the object of reality is not seen as a reversible shadow of light, and shows another image of reality by concealing reality as a shadow.
The image is an unconscious mind maintained by the real image and the imagination desired by the subject of desire, and is an idea that cannot be recognized by that image.
Desire Concept Design Process 4. is designed by combining the spatial composition of desire, in which the image of desire is a sculpted planar monochromatic painting in reality, into a reversible structure of light through conscious movement.
In this way, Choi Cheol-joo's concept of desire design appears as an object of desire as another abstract reality in the perspective visual system through his concept of desire design process.
By repeatedly applying the concept of imaginary world and desire and Choi Chul-joo's desire formula <D(I...I')d=I(D...D'i)i> to the image of the work, it acquires aesthetic value and reveals its meaning by realizing formability in the shadow of reversible light. / The meaning of the shape, which is covered by the actual changed instantaneous movement of the shape, results in linguistic abstraction. In other words, the realistic shape of the other person's desire in a momentary event is a linguistic abstraction of the same meaning. Conceptual art with morning glory and bamboo as cultural background is linguistic abstraction. The abstract creates a conceptual structure based on the shape of subsequent reality fostered by language and hides the desire of others in a momentary event.
■ 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 concept of desire, encapsulated 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 Formula: In the concept of Choi Chul-joo's desire, mathematical desire as an axiom of logic in the concept of desire results in reality as a concrete phenomenon rather than based on the external structure of the linguistic meaning through abstract design. Therefore, the rendering of the desire structure revealed by abstract encounter with reality at the intersection of desire outside the window applies the mathematical desire concept abstract design, or the image of the desire concept, to the Choi Chul-joo desire formula, and on March 1, 2022, morning glory appears as a flat real image as the subject of desire as a reversible shade of light in the Flushing Town Hall (New York) exhibition.
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').

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.
■ The image of Choi Chul-joo's desire formula, which applies Choi Chul-joo's desire formula D(I...I')d=I(D...D')i to 'morning glory', connects the concept of desire with the background of 'morning glory' as an image to create a landscape by floating morning glory in the sky. In addition, in <morning glory>, the desire formula "D(I...I')d=I(D...D')i" is substituted, the connection effect between the concept of desire and the "morning glory" as desire image shades the concept of desire in the reversible shadow structure by setting the object as the concept of desire image of women by the "morning glory". In other words, the image of desire (I) is the structure of desire (D) because desire (D) is repeated (I...I') in several images (D...D'), and the image of art behavior or desire image(I) appears as the concept of desire(i).
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.

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
d 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.
✅ A Visual-Cognitive Model of Desire: Choi Chul-joo’s desire formula is a profound synthesis of mathematical logic and cognitive architecture. The mathematician sees it as a recursive function formalizing the transformation of desire into image, while the cognitive scientist interprets it as a symbolic loop through which the mind constructs and perceives desire. Together, these perspectives reveal the formula as a visual-cognitive model of desire—one that bridges abstraction, perception, and symbolic meaning into a unified system of emotional logic.

■ Choi Chul-joo's Desire The design process of abstract concepts: 1. The concept of desire is abstracted from the perspective of an image to the outside of reality, and the image of reality as an object of abstraction is designed as the correlation between reality and reality. This is the design process 1 of Choi Chul-joo's concept of abstraction of desire. This does not presuppose a causal relationship with the real world, but rather results in an abstract concept of desire as a correlation with reality to escape the misunderstanding that transfers from an abstract concept to a real structure. 2. The scope of showing the concept of desire is created and located by omitting the actual size of the abstract concept as a shade of the concept of desire originating from the actual image. In addition, Choi Chul-joo's conceptual process 2 follows the process of decorating an object with a color of universal reality suitable for custom in order to have aesthetic value suitable for its position as a single image. This creates an abstraction that contrasts with the past and desire, in which the aesthetic structure hidden by realistic colors is divided by clouds and obscured by shaded light, obscuring the abstract concept in the actual image. 3. The subject who painted abstraction realizes the reality that symbolizes the concept of desire, and the unconscious realizes abstract desire as a conscious phenomenon of image. Desire is an abstract image realized as a conscious phenomenon of an image, and the unconscious structure is process 3 of designing an abstract art concept of desire that repeatedly designs desire that combines line and color in thoughts but is not conscious of unconscious behavior. 4. The unconsciously abstracted concept of desire is a piece of reality in which the object of reality is not seen as a reversible shade of light, concealing reality as a shadow and showing another real image as a video. This is the process 4 of designing an abstract concept of desire formed by combining the space of desire into a reversible light structure through the conscious movement of planar monochromatic painting carved into reality.
Choi Chul-joo’s design process of abstract desire unfolds as a recursive and symbolically mediated architecture of perception, in which the concept of desire is not treated as a direct reflection of empirical reality but rather as a cognitive construct that emerges through the abstraction of image beyond the boundaries of the real, forming a correlation between realities that resists causal reduction, and in this first phase, desire is abstracted not to represent reality but to escape the epistemological trap of translating abstract concepts into fixed material structures, thereby allowing the mind to engage in symbolic inference rather than empirical mapping; then, in the second phase, the scope for revealing desire is shaped by omitting the actual dimensionality of the abstract concept and rendering it as a shaded echo of the original image, while the object is aesthetically encoded with culturally resonant colors to grant it symbolic legitimacy, and this process of visual obscuration—where clouds and shaded light fragment the aesthetic structure—mirrors the brain’s tendency to process desire through layered symbolic filters and perceptual ambiguity, thus enabling the cognitive system to hold multiple meanings within a single image; in the third phase, the subject who paints abstraction becomes the agent of symbolic realization, translating unconscious desire into a conscious phenomenon through repeated visual gestures, where line and color are cognitively formed but not consciously controlled, and this recursive loop between unconscious structure and conscious image reflects the mind’s capacity to externalize latent drives through symbolic behavior without direct awareness, thereby demonstrating that desire is not merely felt but cognitively enacted; and finally, in the fourth phase, the abstracted concept of desire becomes a fragment of reality refracted through reversible light and shadow, where the object is no longer directly visible but concealed and reconstituted as a visual echo, and this transformation—achieved through the planar movement of monochromatic painting carved into the surface of perception—reveals how the mind integrates spatial abstraction and symbolic light into a recursive system of emotional logic, ultimately showing that desire, in Choi’s framework, is not a static emotion but a dynamic cognitive architecture that oscillates between absence and presence, image and structure, unconscious repetition and symbolic realization.
■ The Design Results of Choi Chul-joo's Desire Abstract Concept: 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.

Here is a refined academic-style interpretation of your concept, written in English from the perspective of a distinguished cognitive scientist with psychoanalytic insight:
The Design Results of Choi Chul-joo's Desire Abstract Concept
A Cognitive-Psychoanalytic Interpretation of Linguistic Meaning and Subject Formation
In Choi Chul-joo’s abstract design of desire, the linguistic outcome reveals a complex interplay between passivity and agency, where the object fixated on the desire of the Other remains passive in structure, yet the emergence of the sympathizer—who internalizes and mirrors the Other’s desire—transforms the dynamic into one of active execution. This transformation occurs through a recursive identification, wherein the sympathizer becomes not merely a reflective surface but a new subject of desire, capable of enacting the same drive. The subject who accepts or resonates with the Other’s desire does not remain external to it but becomes structurally embedded within it, thereby forming a second-order subjectivity that executes desire as if it were their own.
This recursive mirroring leads to a symbolic generalization, where the sympathizer attempts to universalize the Other’s desire, positioning it as a victorious force—akin to a conqueror who reclaims desire as a public object. However, when this generalization fails—particularly when desire, refracted through reversible light and symbolic shadow, resists becoming a publicly shared act—the structure collapses into antagonism. The subject of inappropriate or misaligned desire and the sympathizer, once aligned through shared affect, now oppose the original subject who enacted desire according to the generalized will of the Other.
From a psychoanalytic perspective, this dynamic reflects Lacan’s theory of the subject as constituted through the desire of the Other, and Freud’s notion of identification and transference, where unconscious drives are projected, mirrored, and contested within relational structures. Cognitively, Choi’s design reveals how desire is not a solitary impulse but a socially and symbolically mediated architecture, where subjectivity is formed, fractured, and reconstituted through linguistic abstraction, visual metaphor, and recursive identification.
■ Object rendering of the concept of desire is 1. a pop art image that renders unconscious desire as an existential reality by dividing the same concept of desire as the event image into unconscious and real images as an object. Therefore, the subject who speaks linguistic meaning actually represents abstraction, the truth value of the concept of desire, which is an expressive aesthetic structure that specifies the viewing effect of colloquial language and event video broadcasting as an act of speech enunciation that depends on the news. 2. As the truth value of the concept of desire in visual images is an open system, and numerous visual images are transmitted to others through a pluralistic visual system. Abstract images, which are the true values of the concept of desire, attract attention because they have universality as real images expressed by the desires of others. In other words, the object exposed to the abstract desires of others functions as a desire to exchange the same aesthetic image as the concept of desire of others through the diachronic function of pop art applied as a work of art. 3. The truth value of the concept of desire in a linguistic sense in which the abstract image of the concept of desire and reality are the same, represents the structure of desire, and the reality of the abstract concept of desire is a real image, which is the causal structure of desire, and creates a structure of desire by forming a semantic relationship with contradictory desire. Like Kant, this is a dual structure up to modern art, and it encompasses mythical objects in the same structure as humans, and the antinomic desire structure as a single structure. 4. an object of the concept of desire rendered in abstraction: The object rendering of the concept of desire renders the object as an event image, which is the same rational object as the linguistic meaning of the desire structure through the gaze of the rational subject, is recognized as a real image that the subject cannot see. Additionally, other objects of desire are continuously represented by real images that attempt to fill the deficiency of desire. The pond, which reflects present desire as an object to abstract desire, presents a desire structure as a reality, which is an object to abstract desire, but it returns the cause of desire as a real image to an object as an event image, free from the imperfect abstraction that lacks desire that is subjugated to social visibility that has been concealed and deviated from lack through real images. In other words, the structure of deficiency and divided desire is hidden through real images of abstract desires, and contradictory desires subordinate to deviated social visibility become the cause of desire and become the objects of real images. In addition, object rendering of other desires is continuously expressed as a real image trying to fill the deficiency of desire. The rendering of an object that reflects the present desire as an object of abstract desire presents the structure of desire as reality, which is the object of abstract desire, but it returns the cause of desire as a real image to an object as an event image, away from the imperfect abstract lacking desire. In other words, the structure of deficiency and divided desire is hidden through the real image of abstract desire, and contradictory desires subordinate to deviated social visibility become the cause of desire, resulting in abstraction as a real image.
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 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.
■ the abstract design process of conceptual abstract realism: 1. Conceptual Abstract Realism The current object is illuminated with reversible light so that the illuminated form can be repeatedly visually recognized according to the past temporality to actualize the subject's structure as a shaded structure of reversible light. And the design concept that constitutes conceptual abstract realism abstraction is determined as a philosophical result that can be expected with abstract causality so that the object is repeated as a design with the present gaze so that it appears to be a realistic image according to temporality. 2. The object of conceptual abstract realism is that the absence of desire as a non-verbal meaning is alienated from the symbolic world and loses its essence as the subject of desire. In the previous stage of linguistic meaning, according to grammar revealed as a symbolic image of existence, it was separated into a realist image recognized as an abstract desire concept and divided into a realist image, and the realist image as the subject of the desire structure is linguistically and diachronically meaningful. 3. The design of a realism image is an image that lacks the linguistic meaning of conceptual abstract realism, and the image in a linguistic sense is repeatedly designed as a post-effect of the desire structure being re-embodied, and a new conceptual abstract realism image is repeatedly designed. The direction and viewpoint of reversible light that make up the image along the chain of design are all stages of the perspective visual system according to temporality, and the line space of the visual structure, in which the image in the linguistic sense constitutes the desire structure, and the reversible light that constitutes the effect of the post-image produce a realism image at the intersection of the existential place with continuity. 4. Realistic abstraction creates a multi-loyal structural image of the linguistic meaning of unconscious structure composed of shadows at multiple points of reversible light separated from perspective, and girls are abstracted as divided subjects as talents that can be stared at momentarily while dismantled at a stereoscopic single point. 5. Conceptual Abstract Realism Abstractism Rendering is a conceptual abstract realism of wanting and linguistic desires that cannot be perceived at the level of expression consciousness, visualizing philosophical psychological structures and rendering them with linguistic meaning at the intersection of conceptual abstraction and unrealistic realism. As this becomes conceptual abstract realism abstraction, unconscious desires that represent the color tone and shape of desires invisible in the shade of reversible light become maps as conceptual abstract realism abstraction.
■ conceptual abstraction rendering process: 1. Integration of linguistic meaning and visual images: The abstract concept of desire is realized when the desire of others has an aesthetic meaning by facing the linguistic meaning in the image of an event as an object of a pictorial structure reflecting the present desire, and the image in the painting is closely connected to the linguistic meaning structure. As an object representing the concept of desire, the same concept of desire as the event image is divided into unconscious and real images, and an image modeling unconscious desire as an existential real image is sketched.
As for the sketch form of the current concept of desire, the concept of absolute desire is a symbolic metaphor shown in abstraction, and the concept of desire is abstracted as the desire of others, but it does not go beyond the scope of an imitative picture. Therefore, it is the modern conceptual abstract realism sketch that resulted in a real image through Choi Chul-joo's desire formula, which interpreted abstract concepts in a linguistic sense as the desire of others. This is a realism that interprets the concept of abstract desire as a real structure as a expressive image with a linguistic meaning in the real world, where pictorial event images are closely connected with linguistic semantic structures. Here, by applying existential semantics as an event and performance image, the object of the real structure is represented as a phenomenal image of the real world, and the abstract structure is identified with conceptual reality. 2. Visualization of Abstract Desire Concept: To accept the difference from the actual image in the concept of abstract desire as the meaning of the linguistic concept, and to embody the unconscious desire as an abstract image, the abstract image that constitutes the relationship structure with desire is painted and embodied in the actual structure created by the linguistic meaning of the conceptual reality of desire structure. This is an abstraction of Choi Chul-joo's conceptual abstract realism, which hides the formative reality of desire in pictures and abstracts event images based on real news, away from the social constraints (制約) acceptable in religious customs. Abstraction is a subjective concept that refers to linguistic meaning and expresses the viewing effect of colloquial enunciation and event video broadcasts in abstraction. This abstraction represents the true value of the concept of need and is an expressive aesthetic structure that embodies the elements that depend on the news.
The abstraction is represented as an abstraction which is a truth value of the concept of desire as an expressive aesthetic structure of one speech act that identifies the viewing effect of colloquial language and event video broadcasting as an enunciation. 3. The artistic experiment of reversible light and temporality: The experiment of conceptual abstract realism renders abstraction based on temporality in the linguistic sense that desire and reality are the same. Here, the structure of desire is abstracted by forming a semantic relationship between desire and reality according to temporality. In the abstraction, the abstract reality of desire is the causal structure of desire, that is, the antinomic equivalence represents the structure of desire by forming a semantic relationship with desire as a real image in which the reality of the abstract concept of desire is the causal structure of desire from an aphoria image. In abstraction composed of real images as the structure of desire, the morphological image of visible metaphor is transferred to abstract language meaning. Therefore, the real image as a result of exploring the existential realism according to temporality through the shadow of reversible artificial lighting is a metamorphic fixation as an abstract meaning in which the desire structure is obscured. In other words, in abstraction, the other's desire as an image of social events transforms into an additional form. As such, conceptual abstract realism rendering is raised by time and existence through the shadow of reversible lighting, repeatedly designing realistic images induced by social phenomena, creating a realism image with a desire formula, and the subject based on the event image repeatedly designing and rendering a realist image induced by social phenomena with a desire formula.
■ Choi Chul-joo’s Conceptual Abstract realism Abstraction Design Process
Another abstraction that reveals the image as a reality as another structure of gaze that deviates from the visual system as an object that led to realism according to artistry is the image of realism.
In realism abstraction design, a way to effectively convey the dual message of abstraction and reality is to realistically represent concepts and abstractions through contemporary conceptual abstract realism abstractions, such as contemporary media art images or abstractions. Thus, the process of designing conceptual abstrac realism abstractions in media art abstract design is as follows
1. Realism Object Concept: An image formed from a virtual object by reproducing a realistic object is a virtual image that hides reality. A virtual image is recognized as a plane and looks like a realistic image. Here, it is hidden in a geometric plane image of a perspective visual system that reproduces realistic objects and is momentarily revealed as a gaze from the perspective of desire revealed by the unconscious. This defines the concept of a realist object with creativity and autonomy as an image in a linguistic sense as another existence of a conceptual abstract realism object through the unconsciousness suppressed by the desires of others.
2. Sketch Connecting Realism Images with Allegory: Abstract art and art are that matter is distinguished by its existence as a reality and the existence of objects formed from each other's abstract perspectives as virtual beings. The condition of a work of art is to reveal existence in the form of non-existent beings and imaginations as sketches that pass through an Allegory, which images objects and events as reality. Choi Chul-joo's reversible light is an image shaded at the present time in what is called "a real image obscured by the shadow of reversible light" according to its realistic form and movement of light, that is, the temporality. The image creates reality as a shaded image of reversible light, where the linguistic meaning seen as abstraction is identified. It repeats the sketch to connect an anamorphosis image as another reality separated from an image of reality, that is, an existential image that seems to be the structure of gaze, to form an abstract language image into a sketch so that it can be re-formed into a conceptual abstract realism concept.
3. Abstract Realism Object Gaze: As an abstract realism object, the abstract object revealed as a point of light in the eyes of others makes Choi Chul-joo's aesthetic structure anamorphosis image revealed in the desire gaze system look like an abstract Realism object gaze as a philosophical device whose abstract meaning varies depending on the viewer's position and gaze. This image matches the perspective of realist space with the abstract linguistic meaning, and from the conceptual point of desire, abstract and invisible objects appear as gaze paths. As an object that implies the desires of others as a fictional element of human limited by causal relationship in the linguistic meaning of the conceptual abstract realism of images, it intersects with the image and is structured into the linguistic meaning of unconscious abstract realism. Through this process of transformation, viewers experience linguistic abstraction in which forms follow concepts and forms become entangled with meaning.
4. Abstract Realism's Abstraction: Abstract realism's abstraction gets an abstract object specified in Choi Chul-joo's Desire Formula, and the desire image(i) design(d)s beyond the desires of others, which is an opportunity to verbally interpret the conditions under which the abstract object's image is realized(i/d) through grammatical interpretation of the linguistic meaning. And to reach <D(I...I')d=I(D...D'i)i> conceptual abstract realism abstraction as a reality by abstractly selecting a specific object that the subject of desire asks itself what abstract realism wants. This formula suggests a dynamic interplay: desire (D) is echoed across repeated images (I...I'), ultimately shaping an abstract concept (i). This is a realism image that has stopped from the concept of abstract desire that has been realized by abstracting the abstract place that humans cannot experience in life as an object of desire in a linguistic meaning system.
According to Culturality, Choi Chul-joo Concept Abstraction Realism Abstraction Stag's step 1: Distill the concept of desire in reality into images separated from literal causation to promote abstract thinking. step 2: Overlapping the linguistic meaning of the natural object motif with culturally resonant visual elements such as color palettes creates visually harmonious yet conceptually dense realism abstract image. It is a conceptual abstract realism abstraction as a philosophical image that reproduces the essence of human existence and the limitations of perception as a metaphor by operating as Choi Chul-joo's conceptual abstraction as a device that transfers philosophical and linguistic meanings to images.
■ 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.
1, 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.
Therefore, the image is composed by defining the concept of an existential image that is alienated from an image lacking a realistic structure as a vector representing the direction of the non-realistic subject entering the symbolic world as a structure of the other representing a synchronic semantic chain as a conceptual form of a realism image.
As a semantic structure that cannot be solved like Gordian Knot, Alexandros appears as a realist image of conceptual abstraction as an existential subject through division that cuts the knot with a sword and expresses the essence of externality in a comprehensive and immediate manner.
Alexandros cuts the knot with a sword in a comprehensive and immediate way by unconsciously selecting an unpredictable effect image as a pre-stage of linguistic meaning, such as expression abstraction, with an orderly vector that displays the meaning structure that cannot be solved through time.
As a difficult problem to solve, the knot determined by semanticizing the knot through time as a semantic structure that cannot be solved as before entering the symbolic world is physically bisected and divided, expressing the conceptual abstract realism image as an existent subject.
2. 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 movement of dynamic images is linked to the temporality of abstract structures as a sign of necessity self-consciousness, revealing sensory structures before symbols translated into pictorial languages and serving as formative realities beyond the literary nature of early conceptual art.
In abstracted background structures, perspective objectivity distorts the phenomenal structure by the extent of the sky and the size of the perspective as opposed to dynamic images, where reversible light is limited to objects superimposed with realist images as another gaze structure on the surface.
In the symbolic abstract world, abstract structure is a sketch that reveals existence in the form of existence and imagination reflected in a desire background by repeating image sketches as linguistic meanings in a conceptual abstraction of flat forms and colors, and passes through an allegory that realizes dynamic images, abstract structures, and background structures of desire.
3. 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.
The position of the desire background is abstracted as the image of the reversible reaction that constitutes the realist space abstracted by the concept of desire is repeated. In other words, as the order increases with reversible temporality, the shadow image of the object staring at the reversible light is displayed in dynamic images and abstract structures.
Choi Chul-joo's conceptual abstract realism design, which is visualized as an ambiguous realism image according to temporality, shows a "trace of time" implemented at the intersection of the same time by the static background image as the effect and phenomenon structure of the stationary moment when the dynamic image of the movement meets the background of the stationary moment.
4. The image of desire, which applies Choi Chul-joo's desire formula D(I...I')d=I(D...D')i to 'morning glory', connects the concept of desire with the background of 'morning glory' as an image to create a landscape by floating morning glory in the sky. In addition, in <morning glory>, the desire formula "D(I...I')d=I(D...D')i" is substituted, the connection effect between the concept of desire and the "morning glory" as desire image shades the concept of desire in the reversible shadow structure by setting the object as the concept of desire image of women by the "morning glory". In other words, the image of desire (I) is the structure of desire (D) because desire (D) is repeated (I...I') in several images (D...D'), and the image of art behavior or desire image(I) appears as the concept of desire(i).
Here is a refined and cohesive academic-style interpretation of your concept, written in English from the perspective of a cognitive scientist with psychoanalytic insight: 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.
� 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.
■ 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 Dynamics Scenario Methodology
This scenario, which restructures Gaston Leroux's classical narrative with Louis Choi's desire dynamics formula with a mathematical and mechanical filter, is the culmination of intelligent aesthetics that witness the rupture of "The Real" beyond just theatrical representation. This scenario describes the story of mechanical opera, in which the whole process results in a single formula, from the prelude to the formation of a black hole of desire through the axiomatic definition of space in a total of 120 composition, to the 120th time when the formula disappears.
[Step 1: Set the axiomatic definition of space (the nuclear setting of a void) stage] as a 'field of emptiness' rather than just a physical background.
• Process: Completely remove the general space dominated by the system (Vsys) and place a 'empty space-time' at the center of the stage where only the other's desires can be projected.
• Aesthetic Devices: Using Hum noise, the audience's unconscious faces a mechanical order before finding linguistic meaning.
1. Nucleus of Void: As the dismantling of the system and the geometric pinnacle begin, the stage is castrated one by one with the colorful decorations of the classic opera house. The five layers, stacked vertically according to the direction's intentions, function with only mechanical precision, and a 'nucleus of blank' is placed in the center of the stage that allows no objects to be done. It is a center of geometric unconsciousness that Vsys (systemic constraints) cannot reach, and a mathematical equivalent of an underground hideout where Eric of Le Roux resides. At the center where the audience's visual information is sucked into the black hole, the low-band Hum noise occupies the entire space. This is the mechanical beat that the subject faces with the language of the symbolic world stationary, and becomes the canvas of reversible light for the observer himself to project the other's desire. Here, Mdesire's value starts at zero initial value, and begins to fluctuate whenever the difference between Vsys and Vact occurs.
2. Collision of Variables: Differentiation and Coordinate Movement Kristen's voice is the only wave in the systemic order (Vsys) that represents Vact's pure outburst. As soon as she starts singing, the variables of the formula that were stationary accumulate along the passage of time called dt. Eric moves his coordinates (x,y) finely in the darkness behind the stage, transforming the layers of space. At this time, sum Delta (x,y) is not just a movement, but an act that the character's unconsciousness resets the physical coordinates of space. Eric's hideout continues to contract and expand according to Christine's pitch change, and the intelligent AI organism, a stage device, collects this data in real time to rebuild the real wall. This is a modern interpretation of how the ghost in Le Rouge's novel dominated the world with a panoptic gaze, visualized by moving mathematical coordinates. In each episode, the audience witnesses how Eric's internal tension increases Mdesire's level with the accumulation of dt, and how the system collapses in the process.
3. Auditory bursts: Return of repressed signs Entering the middle (40th to 80th sessions) of the formula, the gap between Vsys and individual desires (Vact) reaches its limit. Repressed signs flow out along the sound texture (I), and a certain hum noise is converted into a high-frequency, sharp burst (Dsound). In Louis Choi's desire dynamics, this means the "final return of the suppressed." Stage layers cause a geometric collapse at the point where Eric's solitude and Christine's fear intersect, and the separation of the ego staring at me in the mirror is embodied as a physical transition on stage. The moment Christine's movements (Delta x, Delta y) awaken the underground machinery, Eric defines himself as an "opera robot" and replaces his existence with a mathematical equation. Eric's line, "My desire is not to follow the system, but the equation itself that amplifies dt in real time in response to each of your notes," runs through the philosophical core of this scenario.
4. The big hitter's eyes and real stage: When entering the final stage after the 100th episode, the wheel of time no longer distinguishes between the past and the present, and expands dt infinitely. The Stage reaches the peak of Panopticon, which is judged by the Big Hitter, and the system goes through a cycle of complete dismantling and rebuilding. In the last 120th episode, Louis Choi's Desire Dynamics formula converges to zero. At this point where V_act and Vsys coincide or completely extinguish, there is no more Desire Equation. The stage-centered void completely swallows the audience's gaze, leaving only the aesthetics of pure "The Real," whose linguistic meaning has been strengthened. Gaston Leroux's tragic ghost is now not a stuffed past, but a trajectory of pure aesthetics that is created and extinguished in real time in a mechanical device called an opera. At the end of the play, the audience experiences catharsis in which numerous symbols he projected are sucked into the black hole in a space where the structure of desire is stationary, and faces the process of liberating the classical narrative from the peak of mechanical aesthetics.
