# 너무 평등해서 병든 반포자이즘 Canonical URL: https://jeanyoon.ch/oi/texts/banpo-xism-artist-notes-2026-03-20 Type: essay / research note Author: Jeanyoon Choi (최정윤) Date: 2026-03-20 ## Full text Linking to the L-B plane Each apartment, "X-po Y-i": detach! Mobile tag (XXX YYY): corresponds to a coordinate. Likewise it only recognises 1 to 19. Text Tower: only recognises 1 to 19. P = 19 × L + B: the rule of the coordinate system. Integrate! This two-dimensional world is too childish. Let us go beyond the two-dimensional square, beyond the Cartesian coordinate plane. Not Descartes but Riemann: three, four, five dimensions, with ever higher dimensions. Integration is the process of changing the parameter z = c so that z can move. The advertisement: a differentiable manifold of desire, diversity, subjectivity, inquiry. Compared with the vast higher-dimensional reality, such a tiny square! Once you climb to a higher dimension... how shabby the lower dimension becomes! How "flat" it becomes! (Impossible to understand with the old coordinate system...) z = c becomes: z can be everything. This process of "integration" is the role of the advertisement. The role of the advertisement, going beyond the simulacrum of the Cartesian plane called Banpo-Xism... What is Banpo-Xism? Class stratification, a "psychology", exclusivity, distinction, the capitalisation of space. I do not say that discrimination, or minimal marginal difference itself, is wrong. Rather I ask: discrimination? Can this be called real distinction? Is it not childish? Look. How long will you lock yourself inside a two-dimensional plane? Can you not set out far, toward higher places? How long will you stay castrated? Affirm. Affirm difference and maximise it, not by making differences over nothing but concrete inside a plane.... Go beyond the boards, rules and systems others have made, and create your own world, your own higher-dimensional vector field. This is not denying desire. On the contrary, affirming desire! Affirming it strongly! Why stay inside frames others have set.... like a camel.... passively.... Become a lion! Become a child! Not inside a dependent interface... that binds you... Play with the phone as an interface, as an instrument! Affirm the finger! Affirm desire! Real affirmation! Toward an infinite higher-dimensional world where everything is possible: integrate! Beyond the jostling and the squabbling, trapped in a square, a frog in a well, beyond the competition of slaves, beyond slaves comforting themselves that their ornaments shine brighter... a large, infinite, diverse, endless... wave-like reality. Head for the higher dimensions. Is this two-dimensional world not too "cramped"? Say it.... This two-dimensional world is cramped... we must go beyond this cramped two-dimensional world... step on it and go beyond... lay it down and pass over... look at the world... the world physics speaks of, the universe reality points to, is it not vast? If you are going to pursue an unequal world... then at least pursue it truly broadly! Look! The world is unequal... but getting one lump of concrete your way is only an even more two-dimensional Cartesian plane, Cartesian, castrated: a camel's dream, Nemo-ui kkum (Dream of Squares)! You castrated ones! Why do you not dream of wider places? Become genuine. This is where the true higher dimension is decided. You are fighting over a flat plane, but look. The world is wide... Why stake your life on the small two-dimensional plane before your eyes, when there is a wide world, the ten-dimensional world superstring theory speaks of? How can the dream, the life goal, of a fresh teenager be just a "Han River view apartment", a lump of concrete? Truly, your materialism is vulgar... In pursuing the same matter, the same materials, you are all "equal", servile and plebeian. This is slave capitalism. Differentiable manifolds... superstring theory allows "wide dimensions", higher dimensions.. Destroy fabricated reason and discover an irrational order. The destruction of outward form, a dynamic rhythm. Bend. Bend. Go beyond every square, the dream of squares, the castrated forces, Banpo-Xism... Yes. South Korea is sick with Banpo-Xism. Not sick because it is too unequal; on the contrary, because it is too equal! Too identical! Your lives are unhappy because, within the smallest of differences, you hang yourselves on gaining that slight difference! Look, how wide is the world? And yet you are desperate to make yourselves slaves. Like... slaves comparing whose handcuffs shine brighter.... Please... the poverty of your imagination! How can you think only inside frames, inside systems, that others have offered? Can you not see outside them? Have you still not got beyond Descartes? Are you not even curious? Are you not curious how the simulacrum can be destroyed, how it can be bent, what exists "beyond this", what is there? Why do you bind yourselves, staking your lives on moving to a better cell inside a system someone else built, a prison someone else built? Should you not rather see what is outside the prison? What on earth exists "beyond this"? Look at the two-dimensional plane from a higher dimension... does it not look shabby? LINKS: ultimately multi-modal. So that it can be chewed, torn, tasted and enjoyed. --- Jeanyoon Choi (최정윤) is a Korean computational artist and researcher (b. 1999), PhD candidate at KAIST XD Lab, making multi-device web artworks.
