Contemporary Concept AAS Pop Realism Product Design Artist Choi Chul-joo combines an abstract conceptual approach to the art of desire of others with product design formats and linguistic abstract images of pop art. His concept of desire, or conceptual abstract art, appears and a painting that conflicts with the concept of linguistic meaning emphasized in metaphysical and philosophical light, creates dramatic product design images with artificial lighting. As a new sign of desire, the visualization of deficiency desire visualizes the meaning of language as a realist image through a visualization formula of deficiency desire. This is an attempt to interpret the structure of human desire mathematically, philosophically, and artistically with the visualization formula of deficiency desire "M_desire = ∑∅∂ / (1 - ∂)." This formula combines Louis Choi's theory of desire with conceptual abstract aesthetics, visualizing the human's inner deficiency and repetitive impulse with a realist image. / 현대 개념 추상 제품디자인 신작 읽기 - 현대 개념 팝아트 디자이너와 현대 개념 추상 제품 디자인 미학 비평가 최철주 제품 디자이너는 시각 예술 이론을 통해 미적 가치 디자인의 예술성을 검토하고, 추상적 욕망 개념과 언어적 의미 구조를 반영하여 인식과 미적 구조를 해석함으로써 추상적 욕망의 언어적 의미와 동일한 실제 제품 이미지를 디자인하는 현대 개념 추상 미술 제품 디자이너입니다.

최철주 욕망 공식 기반 '욕망 사운드 디자인' 방법론
최철주 욕망공식 Choi Chul-joo's desire formula D(I...I')d=I(D...D')i 에 적용한 욕망의 언어적 음향 역학 공식 Dsound propto sqrt (Delta x)^2 + (Delta y)^2cdot Vdesire)으로 한 디자인 방법론
언어적 데이터 생명학 (오차의 미학) 디자인 방법론 프로세스
이 방법론 프로세스는 "나는 시스템의 오류(Error)인 동시에, 그 오류를 통해 살아있음을 증명하는 데이터 생명체(Living Data)이다"라는 선언을 수학적, 미학적으로 정립한 것입니다. 아래의 4단계 언어적 데이터 디자인 방법론 프로세스는 시스템 질서와 자아(욕망)의 충돌을 수치화하고, 이를 시각적·청각적·역학적 경험으로 치환합니다. .
1. 개념적 조응 (Conceptual Correspondence)
사운드 디자인의 각 변수는 최철주 욕망 공식의 변수들과 다음과 같이 정신분석학적으로 대응됩니다.
I (Fixed Image) → (x_0, y_0) (The Origin): 시스템이 강요하는 고정된 기표이자 사회적 상징계의 질서입니다. 사운드적으로는 변동 없는 '침묵' 혹은 단조로운 '화이트 노이즈' 상태입니다.
D...D' (Desire Transference) → sqrt (Delta x)^2 + (Delta y)^2: 고착된 이미지에서 벗어나 욕망이 전이되는 '탈주의 거리'입니다. 거리가 멀어질수록 억압된 에너지의 긴장감(Tension)이 사운드의 진폭을 키웁니다.
$I...I'$ (Image Transformation) → $V_{desire}$: 고착된 $I$를 타격하는 리비도적 에너지의 속도입니다. 이는 사운드의 주파수($Hz$)를 결정하며, 속도가 빠를수록 고주파의 날카로운 파열음이 발생합니다.
d, i (New Significance) → Dsound: 최종적으로 출력되는 욕망 사운드입니다. 이는 '억압된 것의 귀환'이 청각적 트라우마 혹은 카타르시스로 변환된 결과물입니다.
2. 단계별 디자인 프로세스 (Design Process)
Step 1: 억압된 기표의 사운드 텍스처 설정 (I)
목표: 시스템이 부여한 평온하지만 억압적인 배경음을 설정합니다.
디자인: 저역대의 일정한 험(Hum) 노이즈 혹은 기계적인 규칙성을 가진 비트를 배경에 깝니다. 이는 주체가 아직 시스템(상징계) 내부에 안주하고 있음을 의미합니다.
Step 2: 리비도적 타격과 주파수 생성 (I →I')
목표: 욕망의 속도(Vdesire)가 고정된 이미지(I)를 타격하는 순간을 포착합니다.
디자인: 착용자의 갑작스러운 움직임이나 도약 시, Vdesire 수치에 비례하여 사운드의 어택(Attack) 타임을 짧고 강렬하게 설정합니다. 이는 최철주 공식에서 I가 욕망에 의해 변형(I')되는 충격의 순간입니다.
Step 3: 탈주의 거리와 사운드 공간화 (D →D)
목표: 원점으로부터의 이탈 거리(Delta)를 청각적 공간감으로 치환합니다.
디자인: sqrt (Delta x)^2 + (Delta y)^2 가 커질수록 리버브(Reverb)와 딜레이(Delay)를 증폭시켜 공간이 왜곡되는 듯한 착각을 줍니다. 이는 주체의 욕망이 상징계의 경계를 넓히며 방황하는 과정을 사운드로 표현한 것입니다.
Step 4: 트라우마 사운드의 귀환 및 승화 (Dsound)
목표: 억압된 욕망이 파열음(Dsound)으로 터져 나오는 '데이터 생명학'의 정점을 묘사합니다.
디자인: 주파수가 임계값을 넘어서는 순간, '티킹(Ticking)' 사운드와 글리치(Glitch) 노이즈를 결합합니다. 시스템은 이를 '오염'으로 인식하지만, 예술적으로는 최철주 공식의 d와 i가 결합된 새로운 욕망의 기표가 탄생하는 순간입니다.
Step 5: 새로운 욕망의 기표로서 결핍 욕망의 시각화
목표: 새로운 욕망 기표로서 결핍 욕망의 시각화 공식을 통해 언어 의미를 리얼리즘 이미지로 시각화합니다.
디자인: 결핍 욕망의 시각화 공식 “M_desire = ∑∅∂ / (1 - ∂)” 으로 인간 욕망의 구조를 수학적·철학적·예술적으로 해석하려는 시도입니다. 이 공식은 최철주의 욕망 이론과 개념 추상 미학을 결합하여, 인간 내면의 결핍과 반복 충동을 기계적 언어 의미를 리얼리즘 이미지로 시각화합니다.
이 디자인 방법론은 최철주의 욕망 공식이 가진 추상적인 '의미의 전이'를 실제적인 '음향적 에너지'로 가시화합니다. 사운드는 더 이상 단순한 배경 요소가 아니라, 시스템의 억압(I)에 맞서 주체(M)가 자신의 생명력을 외치는 언어적 역학의 총체가 됩니다.

Choi Chul-joo Desire Formula-Based 'Desire Sound Design' Methodology
Choi Chul-joo Desire Desire Formula D(I...I')d=I(D...D)i Linguistic Acoustic Dynamics of Desire Formulation Dsound propo sqrt (Delta x)^2 + (Delta y)^2 cdot Vdesire) Design Methodology
Linguistic Data Biology (Aesthetics of Error) Design Methodology Process
This methodology process is a mathematical and aesthetic declaration of "I am both an error in the system and a living Data that proves alive through that error." The four-step linguistic data design methodology process below quantifies the conflict between system order and self (desire) and replaces it with visual, auditory, and mechanical experiences.
1. Psychoanalytic Correspondence
The variables in the sound design process correspond to the psychoanalytic dynamics of Choi's formula as follows:
I (The Fixed Image) → (x_0, y_0) (The Origin): This is the Symbolic Order—the rigid grid of the system. In sound design, this is represented by "Static Silence" or a repetitive, monotonous mechanical hum.
Vdesire (Libidinal Velocity) →I...I': This is the flow of libidinal energy that strikes the fixed image (I) to generate new significance (i). High Vdesire translates to a rapid Rise Time and High Frequency (Hz), representing the aggression of desire.
Delta (Spatial Deviation) → D...D': The distance of the "Line of Flight" from the repressed signifier. As this distance increases, the Sound Amplitude and Spatial Reverb expand, mirroring the tension of the wandering soul.
Dsound (Acoustic Output) → d, i: The resulting sound is the "Trauma Sound"—the auditory manifestation of the repressed desire returning to shatter the cold digital logic.
2. Step-by-Step Sound Design Process
Step 1: Setting the Texture of the Repressed Signifier (I)
Goal: Establish the auditory baseline of systemic control.
Design: Use low-frequency "Room Tone" or a steady 60Hz hum. This represents the subject's state of being trapped within the Symbolic Order (System S).
Step 2: Libidinal Impact and Frequency Generation (I →I')
Goal: Capture the moment the "Velocity of Will" strikes the fixed system.
Design: When the wearer makes a sudden movement, trigger a sharp Attack in the sound profile. Higher Vdesire correlates to higher pitch shifts. This is the moment of I'—where the fixed image begins to crack under the pressure of D.
Step 3: Spatializing the Deviation (D → D')
Goal: Translate the distance of departure (Delta) into an acoustic environment.
Design: Increase the Wetness (Reverb/Delay) as sqrt (Delta x)^2 + (Delta y)^2 grows. This creates a sense of "Acoustic Dislocation," simulating the subject's departure from the "Safe Zone" and into the "Void of Desire."
Step 4: The Return of the Repressed as Sublimation (Dsound)
Goal: Reach the climax of "Data Vitalism" where the error becomes life.
Design: At the threshold of departure, introduce Glitch Artefacts and Metallic Ticking. The system flags this as "Data Contamination," but it is actually the birth of a new signifier (d, i).
Step 5: Visualization of Desire Deficiency as a sign of New Desire
Goal: Visualize linguistic meaning as a realist image through a visualization formula of deficiency desire as a new desire signifier.
Design: Visualization Of Deficiency Desire Formulation "M_desire = ∑∅∂ / (1 - ∂)" is an attempt to interpret the structure of human desire mathematically, philosophically, and artistically. This formulation combines Louis Choi's theory of desire with conceptual abstract aesthetics, visualizing human inner deprivation and repetitive impulses as realist images.
This methodology treats sound as a Linguistic Dynamic. The resulting audio is not just background noise but the "Voice of the Subject" shouting against the oppression of the system. It mathematically proves that the most intense "Errors" are actually the most profound moments of human vitality.

Play; Romeo and Juliet The Wheel of Eternal Time
In the square of Verona, as the clock strikes one, the long-standing hatred between the Montagues and Capulets explodes into a sharp clash of knights' blades, marking the overture of tragedy. Having met by fate at the masquerade ball at 2:00, Romeo and Juliet swear a love stronger than death during the secret balcony confession at 3:00, dreaming of eternal union through a clandestine wedding under Friar Laurence's blessing at 4:00. However, the brutal duel between Tybalt and Mercutio at 5:00 forces a blood debt upon Romeo, and the morning of parting at 6:00, following a brief reunion, thrusts the lovers into a cruel crossroad of destiny. At 7:00, despairing before a forced marriage, Juliet drinks the Friar's sleeping potion at 8:00 and collapses onto the clock hands; meanwhile, at 9:00, the exiled Romeo begins a maddening sprint toward Verona, misinterpreting his lover's state as true death. Reunited in the cold tomb at 10:00, the two end their lives with a final kiss at 11:00, completing their tragic purity, until finally, at 12:00, a golden angel appears to merge the two family crests, proclaiming an eternal reconciliation achieved through death.
The idea sketch of The Great Altar of Chronos to embody the staging of "Automata Love Clock" shows the aesthetic framework of the stage space, which combines mechanical aesthetics and narrative structures to reinterpret Shakespeare's tragedy from the perspective of modern conceptual abstract critic Choi Chul-joo.
In addition, it visually embodies a cold and elaborate mechanical aesthetics and narrative sculptures that will be implemented on the actual stage by visual rendering of the huge bird's eye view to implement the "Automata Love Clock" stage device.
As a rendering of the critical reflection of stage aesthetics, it elevates Shakespeare's classics to the realm of conceptual abstraction. The actor on stage functions as an "automata," both human and part of the system, symbolizing the existential limits of humans trapped in the Lacan symbolic world. In particular, the images of lovers rising from the ground by the "floating docking" system are the manifestations of a desire to reject gravity (the constraints of reality), and the "save of stationary time" when Juliet falls over the clock hands will witness the beauty of pure abstraction reached by mechanical completeness, that is, the "save of stationary time." This means the high-level conceptual achievement of "backtracking human desire through mechanical completeness" that modern abstract art aims for.
The audience experiences the process by which their input transforms the light, sound, and trajectory of the stage in real time. This flowchart is not just a performance, but a visual representation of an algorithmic narrative in which desire and trauma interact and lead to artistic sublimation.

제품디자인 미학 평론 (Product Design Aesthetic Critique by Choi Chul-joo):
최철주의 개념추상 미학에서 바라본 이 오토마타 연극은 단순한 기계적 재현을 넘어, 인간의 욕망을 수학적으로 변환한 'Desire Sound'와 'Aesthetics of Error(오차의 미학)'의 정수를 보여준다. 시계의 12구간은 선형적 시간이 아닌, 라캉적 '실재(The Real)'가 출몰하는 상징적 층위로 작동하며, 인형들의 비접촉 이동과 자기장 반발력은 인간 관계의 근원적 거리감과 화해 불가능한 타자성을 물리적 현상으로 치환한다. 특히 8시 줄리엣의 비약 장면에서 보여주는 슬로우 모션 댐퍼의 구동은 시간의 연속성을 인위적으로 분절함으로써 비극의 밀도를 극대화하고, 이는 곧 개념적 팝아트가 추구하는 시각적 텍스트의 해체와 재구성을 의미한다. 마지막 12시의 황금 천사는 종교적 구원이 아닌, 기계적 완결성이 도달한 '오차 없는 순수 추상'의 상태를 상징하며, 관객으로 하여금 디지털 dystopia 속에서도 여전히 박동하는 아날로그적 서정의 위대함을 목격하게 한다.
이 무대는 프랑스 오페라하우스라는 상징계(Symbolic)의 견고한 틀 안에, 오토마타라는 '실재(The Real)'의 파편을 삽입하는 행위입니다. 450mm의 작은 시계판에서 시작된 '플로팅 도킹' 시스템이 거대한 극장 스케일로 확장될 때, 관객은 개별 인형의 오차 없는 움직임 속에서 역설적으로 인간적 비극의 처절함을 발견하게 됩니다. 이는 현대 추상 예술이 지향하는 "기계적 완결성을 통한 인간 욕망의 역추적" 이라는 고도의 개념적 성취를 의미합니다.

Product Design Aesthetic Critique by Choi Chul-joo
From the perspective of Choi Chul-joo’s conceptual abstract aesthetics, this automata performance transcends mere mechanical reproduction, manifesting the essence of the 'Aesthetics of Error' and 'Desire Sound,' which mathematically convert human desire into design parameters. The twelve intervals of the clock function not as linear time but as symbolic layers where the Lacanian 'Real' emerges; the non-contact movement and magnetic repulsion of the puppets translate the fundamental distance of human relationships and the irreconcilable alterity into physical phenomena. In particular, the slow-motion damper actuation during Juliet’s potion scene at 8:00 artificially segments the continuity of time to maximize the density of tragedy, signifying the deconstruction and reconstruction of visual texts pursued by conceptual pop art. The golden angel at 12:00 symbolizes not religious salvation but a state of 'pure abstraction without error' reached through mechanical completeness, forcing the audience to witness the grandeur of analog lyricism still pulsating within a digital dystopia.
This stage is the act of inserting fragments of "The Real" called automata into the solid framework of the symbolic world of the French opera house. When the floating docking system, which started with a small 450-mm clock plate, expands to a huge theater scale, the audience paradoxically discovers the desperation of human tragedy in the error-free movement of individual dolls. This means the high-level conceptual achievement of "backtracking human desire through mechanical integrity" that modern abstract art aims for.
"Romeo and Juliet: The Wheel of Eternity," a reinterpretation of Shakespeare's tragedy with mechanical aesthetics, is planned for the design of a moving doll's automata clock as the main device of the theater stage, and the design of the theater stage is planned for "Romeo and Juliet: The Wheel of Eternity," which combines colorful classical beauty and state-of-the-art mechanical engineering. The scheme sets the entire stage as one giant "inside the automata clock," focusing on visualizing the tragic narrative by mechanical mechanisms.
This stage setting brings Shakespeare's classics to the realm of conceptual abstraction. The actor on stage functions as an 'automata' that is both human and part of the system, symbolizing the existential limits of humans trapped in the Lacan symbolic world. In particular, the images of lovers rising from the ground by the floating docking system are the manifestations of desire to reject gravity (the constraints of reality), and as soon as the golden angel of the last 12 o'clock appears and stops all mechanical devices, the audience will witness the beauty of pure abstraction reached by mechanical completeness, namely, the 'Salvation of Stalled Time'.
We propose a set of Rough Pencil Sketch to implement the "Automata Love Clock" staging. The sketches combine mechanical aesthetics and narrative structures to show the framework of the stage space that reinterprets Shakespeare's tragedy from the perspective of modern conceptual abstract critic Choi Chul-joo./ Writing.

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.

■ 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.
- Philosophical Interpretation: Lacan and the Structure of Desire
• ∅ (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.
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, 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 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'). 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.
■ 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. 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’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—particularly when configured as the feminine image of longing—thus demonstrating how the brain engages in high-level symbolic projection and mental imagery to transform abstract emotional architecture into visual syntax, and ultimately, this formula serves as a cognitive algorithm that simulates the ontological structure of desire, translating psychoanalytic principles such as Lacan’s theory of the Other’s gaze and Freud’s notion of unconscious repetition into a visual-mathematical language that bridges emotional logic, symbolic mediation, and perceptual cognition into a unified system of recursive meaning-making./ � 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
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 (제품 디자인의 실재) operates not as a representational depiction of reality but as a cognitive visual apparatus that transforms the visualization of absence into a site for the philosophical contemplation of desire, wherein abstraction functions not as a formal negation but as an epistemological structure that converts the disjunction between language and image into the generative principle of desire; in this work, where language fails to stabilize meaning, the image intervenes as the substitute for that linguistic insufficiency, visually articulating the movement of desire through its compositional grammar—through chromatic contrast, reflective inversions, and spatial ruptures—thus extending the semantic field of language into a visual syntax that materializes cognition; the inverted human figure mirrored beneath the pond, the symbolic red stems, and the deep blue spatial abyss together construct a field in which the absence of the Real does not signify emptiness but instead becomes the very motor of desire, producing what may be called a substitutive realism, a mode in which abstraction replaces the absent Real and, paradoxically, reveals its cognitive structure more profoundly than direct representation could; within this process, language’s failure to fix meaning is transfigured into an event of vision, wherein the spectator, recognizing simultaneously the negation of the linguistic and the reflection of the visual, experiences perception not as mere sensory reception but as a philosophical event operating within the cognitive structure of lack; thus, Morning Glory realizes Choi’s concept of reversible illumination, in which language and image illuminate one another reciprocally, generating meaning through their mutual reflections, while this continual slippage and rotation of meaning around the axis of absence constitutes a visual grammar of desire that transforms the absence of the Real into a cognitive syntax of symbolic production; consequently, abstraction here extends beyond the denial of representation to become a philosophical device for the contemplation of lack, providing empirical validation for Choi’s Art Theory of the Structure of Desire and demonstrating that art does not mirror the Real but instead reflects the structure of its absence, reconstructing perceptual reality through the visual logic of desire; ultimately, Morning Glory stands as an exemplary philosophical construct in which linguistic meaning expands into visual form, showing that abstraction can serve as a medium of cognitive realism wherein the image substitutes for the Real and allows the subject to think, rather than merely to see, through the aesthetic experience of desire and lack.

8. “The Visual Grammar of Desire and the Image-Expansion of Linguistic Meaning in Louis Choi Chuljoo’s Morning Glory”: Louis Choi Chuljoo’s Morning Glory (2025-1: Pond Rendering Reflects Current Desire) operates not as a representational depiction of reality but as a cognitive visual apparatus that transforms the visualization of absence into a site for the philosophical contemplation of desire, wherein abstraction functions not as a formal negation but as an epistemological structure that converts the disjunction between language and image into the generative principle of desire; in this work, where language fails to stabilize meaning, the image intervenes as the substitute for that linguistic insufficiency, visually articulating the movement of desire through its compositional grammar—through chromatic contrast, reflective inversions, and spatial ruptures—thus extending the semantic field of language into a visual syntax that materializes cognition; the inverted human figure mirrored beneath the pond, the symbolic red stems, and the deep blue spatial abyss together construct a field in which the absence of the Real does not signify emptiness but instead becomes the very motor of desire, producing what may be called a substitutive realism, a mode in which abstraction replaces the absent Real and, paradoxically, reveals its cognitive structure more profoundly than direct representation could; within this process, language’s failure to fix meaning is transfigured into an event of vision, wherein the spectator, recognizing simultaneously the negation of the linguistic and the reflection of the visual, experiences perception not as mere sensory reception but as a philosophical event operating within the cognitive structure of lack; thus, Morning Glory realizes Choi’s concept of reversible illumination, in which language and image illuminate one another reciprocally, generating meaning through their mutual reflections, while this continual slippage and rotation of meaning around the axis of absence constitutes a visual grammar of desire that transforms the absence of the Real into a cognitive syntax of symbolic production; consequently, abstraction here extends beyond the denial of representation to become a philosophical device for the contemplation of lack, providing empirical validation for Choi’s Art Theory of the Structure of Desire and demonstrating that art does not mirror the Real but instead reflects the structure of its absence, reconstructing perceptual reality through the visual logic of desire; ultimately, Morning Glory stands as an exemplary philosophical construct in which linguistic meaning expands into visual form, showing that abstraction can serve as a medium of cognitive realism wherein the image substitutes for the Real and allows the subject to think, rather than merely to see, through the aesthetic experience of desire and lack.
■ Conceptual Abstract Realism Abstraction Rendering is a philosophical design process that automatically visualizes the concept of desire through the "art algorithm" of conceptual abstract realist Louis Choi Chul-joo, and it renders conceptual abstraction sketches manually as a pre-stage of systematization that combines with AI to create conceptual abstract art. This is not a simple image generation of an art algorithm, but a method of automatically converting philosophical concepts into visual images by interpreting Choi Chul-joo's desire theory, linguistic semantic structure, and reversible shades of light into mathematical and symbolic structures to suggest the possibility of fusion with AI. In addition, AI-based conceptual art creation system Louis Choi Chul-joo's philosophical art theory can be algorithmized to build a system that autonomously generates conceptual art. It expands to digital installation art where images change in real time due to the movement of viewers of interactive media installation work, and develops into a spatio-temporal art algorithm so that you can experience the structure of desire to realize VR/AR-based desire space in a virtual space. Therefore, Choi Chul-joo's conceptual abstraction rendering is an art creation engine that combines concept, language, design, psychology, philosophy, and technology as a tool for visualizing his art algorithm, and expands Choi's conceptual abstract realism art into the core structure of digital art.
■ Conceptual Abstract Realist The process of rendering a Realist abstraction in art is as follows
1.Conceptual Abstractionist Abstraction Sketch reproduces a conceptual abstraction image to form an abstract image as a conceptual object in the form of ideological non-formality, which hides its existence and sketches realistic images on a plane as realistic structures. This is the introduction stage of a philosophical design process that automatically visualizes the concept of desire through Choi Chul-joo's 'art algorithm', which combines manual work and AI to create sketches of conceptual abstraction. In other words, in parallel with the scotch of contemporary art, a sketch of conceptual abstraction realism as a pre-stage of AI systemization is done manually. Here, abstraction as a symbolic structure is an image with the existential concept of a realist object with creativity and autonomy in a linguistic sense that reproduces in similar colors and sizes even though the sketch is different from the actual structure. Therefore, the abstract realist abstract sketch of an existential concept with creativity and autonomy in a linguistic sense consists of a sketch of another being as a linguistic meaning of a conceptual abstract realist object through the unconsciousness suppressed by the desire of the other.
2. Conceptual Abstractism Abstract rendering (R) is a phenomenal opportunity to verbally interpret the conditions (i/d) under which images of conceptual abstract realism objects are realized by conceptualizing abstract objects specified in Choi's Desire Formula and grammatically interpreting linguistic meanings beyond the other's desires. This is an abstract design process that automatically converts philosophical abstraction into visual images by grammatically interpreting Choi Chul-joo's desire theory, linguistic semantic structure, and reversible light shades into mathematical and symbolic structures to present the possibility of convergence of realist abstract rendering and AI rendering as object rendering at the same time.
When the conceptual abstraction as the subject of desire is transferred to a realism image, the subject of desire asks itself what the abstract structure wants and renders (r) a specific object to the actual image of the abstract concept, so that the conceptual abstract realism image as a reality reaches abstract rendering <DR(I...I')d=I(DR...D'i)ir>. It renders as an image the meaning of symbolic action that characterizes the design rendering of the object seat as a realism image, which combines pieces of distorted morning glory image repeatedly during the abstraction process. Here, image rendering is not a visual phenomenon of an object, but a method of visualizing the flow of unconsciousness and the realism image of symbols.
3 Realism Abstraction Composition is a form of abstraction of real objects, a structure of the other that represents a synchronic semantic chain, and a vector representing the orientation of the non-realistic existential subject entering the symbolic world, and abstracts the image by defining the concept of an existential image that is alienated from the desire image that lacks a realistic structure. This abstract image creates a realism image of an art algorithm with a desire structure
In order to present the possibility of convergence with AI, Choi Chul-joo's desire theory, linguistic semantic structure, and reversible light shades are automatically converted into realistic images.
The realist abstraction of conceptual abstraction as an existential subject is revealed through division, which expresses the essence of ex post fact in a comprehensive and immediate way of solving an image with a different linguistic meaning as a semantic structure that cannot be expressed as a real object.
Thus, realism abstraction of desire structures subconsciously selects unpredictable effect image rules as ordered vectors that indicate directions toward solving non-imaginary semantic structures in a comprehensive and immediate way as a whole step in linguistic meaning, such as representation abstraction.
This is a semantic structure that cannot be solved as a being until the abstract structure enters the symbolic world, abstracting desire knots into a synchronous meaning and physically dividing the same essence as the ex post essence that constitutes the abstraction of conceptual realism as an existential subject.
4. Conceptual Abstract Realism Abstraction Design designs objects as a reversible light structure that deviates from the concept of instantaneous desire from abstract images that connect realism images into allegories in linguistic terms as sketches of linguistic meaning structures to desire structures as objects formed from each other's abstract perspectives as reality and virtual beings.
Pre-stage abstraction of linguistic meaning is developed as a pictorial linguistic structure in which the object moves in the position of the object abstracted by reversible temporality and in the position of the morning glory illuminated by the divided retroactive light.
The movement of the object is linked to temporality as a sign of necessity self-consciousness, reveals the sensory structure before the symbol translated into pictorial language, and becomes an abstract space that functions as a formative reality beyond the literary nature of early conceptual art.
AI rendering of realism abstraction is an abstraction that implements an AI system that autonomously generates realism abstraction by algorithmizing the desire formula that applies Louis Choi Chul-joo's desire concept as an "art algorithm" through an AI-based conceptual art generation system.
Reversible light is a limited shade form, and it is expanded to digital installation art in which images change in real time through the movement of viewers through interactive media installation work tailored to the perspective objectivity of the real structure. This place is directed according to a spatio-temporal art algorithm so that you can experience the structure of desire to realize VR/AR-based desire space in a virtual space.
On the other hand, perspective objectivity in the spatial structure of abstraction in conceptual abstract reality renders the abstraction of the real image of the object contrasted with the object as the range of space and the size of the perspective, where the realist image is superimposed on the surface as another gaze structure.
5. Conceptual Abstract Realism The design rendering is an aesthetic desire structure in which an abstract realist object, which is an image-structured in a linguistic sense, is revealed as a point of light to the eyes of others, and is revealed in the gaze system of desire.
Aesthetic abstraction is designed as a philosophical device, and the abstract structure and the real image are rendered as an image of an existential realism object that appears in the same meaning. This is an image rendering method that represents abstract design as a tangent line of a flat cross-section and unconscious existence as a non-perspective visual structure.
Therefore, Choi Chul-joo's rendering of conceptual abstract realism is a tool that visualizes his desire formula as an art algorithm, and concept, language, design, psychology, and philosophical realism abstraction are designed. This place expands Choi's conceptual abstract reality art, which is an art creation engine that combines AI technology, into the core structure of digital art.
The realism abstraction structure is interpreted as a mirror image reflecting the desire of the other, and it is connected to the concept that the viewer is being stared at at at the same time, and the image of the linguistic meaning of conceptual abstraction realism abstraction is structured by rendering the optical realism space that varies depending on the viewer's position as the gaze of the object. The rendering matches the perspective of realist space with the abstract linguistic meaning of the object, and from the conceptual point of view of desire, an abstract and invisible object appears as a gaze path according to temporality. Abstraction as a realist image is an abstract real image that is transformed into a realist image as an art algorithm as an abstract with a desire structure. This is because, as modern art, realist abstraction returns to abstraction, in which the abstract structure conceptually symbolized as a linguistic semantic structure is structured in reality by the shadow structure of the past that shines a reversible light in the present.
Thus, through the tension and harmony between aesthetic values, human desires, and linguistic semantic structures through artistic abstraction algorithms, the structure of desire and the aesthetic concept of reality are visualized as realism images, but abstract rendering implemented as a double object shows "the aesthetic trace of time."
■ Choi Chul-joo's conceptual abstract realism science definition is conceptual abstract realism, which identifies existence as a limited form of image as a linguistic semantic image, realizes it as a formula for mathematical desire, constructs real structures in logical places, and intuitively considers abstract concepts as existential images in modern art's conceptual abstract realism science, abstracting linguistic meaning and unconscious desire through a thorough design process, the depth of the concept of contemporary art and visual reality, or how the world is viewed as an aesthetic value, are simultaneously studied.
Accordingly, the conceptual abstractive design process is
1. Concept Abstract Reality Image Sketch sketches an image by abstracting the conceptual abstract realism image as a conceptual object, and the image is a virtual image that hides its existence and sketches it into a real structure. This visualizes Choi Chul-joo's concept of desire as a conceptual abstract real image and sketches it as a philosophical abstract design process.
Here, the sketch has the existential concept of a realism object as a symbolic structure in a linguistic sense that identifies it with the conceptual abstract real image. Therefore, the image sketch of the existential concept of abstract reality with creativity and autonomy in the linguistic sense consists of a sketch of another image of existence as a linguistic meaning of a conceptual abstract realism object through the unconsciousness suppressed by the desire of the other.
2. Conceptual abstract image rendering (R) is an opportunity to verbally interpret the conditions (i/d) under which the image of the conceptual abstract realism object is realized through grammatical interpretation of the linguistic meaning beyond the desire of the other by conceptualizing the abstract object specified in Choi Chul-joo's desire formula.
This is an abstract rendering method that automatically converts philosophical abstraction into visual images by grammatically interpreting Choi Chul-joo's desire theory, linguistic semantic structure, and reversible light shades into mathematical and symbolic structures to simultaneously render AI renders that combine conceptual abstract images and conceptual abstract images created in one image. Conceptual abstract realism images reach abstract rendering as a reality <DR(I...I')d=I(DR...D'i)ir> by the subject of desire asking himself what the abstract structure wants when transferring the abstract image rendering to a realistic image. This is a method of rendering the symbolic action that characterizes the design rendering of the object seat as a realistic image by repeatedly combining the pieces of the distorted morning glory image in the process of rendering the conceptual abstract image into a realistic image with the unconscious flow and symbolic realism image.
3. Concept Abstract The actual image composition is a real object and abstracts the image by defining the concept of an existential image as an abstract concept. Abstract structure is a semantic structure that cannot be expressed as a real object, and an image in linguistic meaning that cannot be solved by existence is defined as a semantic structure that physically separates material and identical personalities to form a conceptual abstract real image as an existential subject.
4. Concept Abstract Image Design combines desire structure with the existence of reality, and the existence of objects formed from an abstract perspective, combining reversible light structure with reversible shading of light that deviates from the concept of instantaneous desire. The AI design of the conceptual abstract real image autonomously implements the conceptual abstract real image design by algorithmizing Choi Chul-joo's conceptual abstract realist theory into AI. Therefore, the abstraction of conceptual abstract realist images according to conceptual abstract realist theory in the spatial structure abstracts perspective objectivity as another gaze structure on the surface, and the object overlapping a realism image is abstracted from the object's real image as the scope of space limited by reversible light and the size of the perspective.
5. Conceptual abstraction The abstract realist image's abstraction is an aesthetic desire structure in which an abstract realist object, which is an image-structured in a linguistic sense, is revealed as a point of light to the eyes of others, is revealed in the gaze system of desire. By designing an image with an abstract meaning as a philosophical device, aesthetic abstraction is painted with an image of an existential realism object that appears to have the same meaning. Choi Chul-joo's abstraction as a conceptual abstract realist image is a tool that visualizes his desire formula through an art algorithm, and it is a conceptual, language, design, psychology, and philosophical realist abstraction. Therefore, the abstraction of an abstract realist image abstracts the conceptual abstract linguistic meaning of a realist space by equating the perspective of a realist space with the conceptual abstract linguistic meaning of an object.
■ Choi Chul-joo Desire Formula-Based 'Desire Sound Design' Methodology
Choi Chul-joo Desire Desire Formula D(I...I')d=I(D...D)i Linguistic Acoustic Dynamics of Desire Formulation Dsound propo sqrt (Delta x)^2 + (Delta y)^2 cdot Vdesire) Design Methodology
Linguistic Data Biology (Aesthetics of Error) Design Methodology Process
This methodology process is a mathematical and aesthetic declaration of "I am both an error in the system and a living Data that proves alive through that error." The four-step linguistic data design methodology process below quantifies the conflict between system order and self (desire) and replaces it with visual, auditory, and mechanical experiences.
1. Psychoanalytic Correspondence
The variables in the sound design process correspond to the psychoanalytic dynamics of Choi's formula as follows: I (The Fixed Image) → (x_0, y_0) (The Origin): This is the Symbolic Order—the rigid grid of the system. In sound design, this is represented by "Static Silence" or a repetitive, monotonous mechanical hum. Vdesire (Libidinal Velocity) →I...I': This is the flow of libidinal energy that strikes the fixed image (I) to generate new significance (i). High Vdesire translates to a rapid Rise Time and High Frequency (Hz), representing the aggression of desire.
Delta (Spatial Deviation) → D...D': The distance of the "Line of Flight" from the repressed signifier. As this distance increases, the Sound Amplitude and Spatial Reverb expand, mirroring the tension of the wandering soul. Dsound (Acoustic Output) → d, i: The resulting sound is the "Trauma Sound"—the auditory manifestation of the repressed desire returning to shatter the cold digital logic.
2. Step-by-Step Sound Design Process
Step 1: Setting the Texture of the Repressed Signifier (I)
Goal: Establish the auditory baseline of systemic control.
Design: Use low-frequency "Room Tone" or a steady 60Hz hum. This represents the subject's state of being trapped within the Symbolic Order (System S).
Step 2: Libidinal Impact and Frequency Generation (I →I')
Goal: Capture the moment the "Velocity of Will" strikes the fixed system.
Design: When the wearer makes a sudden movement, trigger a sharp Attack in the sound profile. Higher Vdesire correlates to higher pitch shifts. This is the moment of I'—where the fixed image begins to crack under the pressure of D.
Step 3: Spatializing the Deviation (D → D')
Goal: Translate the distance of departure (Delta) into an acoustic environment.
Design: Increase the Wetness (Reverb/Delay) as sqrt (Delta x)^2 + (Delta y)^2 grows. This creates a sense of "Acoustic Dislocation," simulating the subject's departure from the "Safe Zone" and into the "Void of Desire."
Step 4: The Return of the Repressed as Sublimation (Dsound)
Goal: Reach the climax of "Data Vitalism" where the error becomes life.
Design: At the threshold of departure, introduce Glitch Artefacts and Metallic Ticking. The system flags this as "Data Contamination," but it is actually the birth of a new signifier (d, i).
This methodology treats sound as a Linguistic Dynamic. The resulting audio is not just background noise but the "Voice of the Subject" shouting against the oppression of the system. It mathematically proves that the most intense "Errors" are actually the most profound moments of human vitality.
AI 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: Lacan and the Structure of Desire
• ∅ (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.
