De_struggle - 調和
This piece is not just an aesthetic experiment for me. The idea of "de struggle" extends from the act of debugging. This year, I've often asked myself what constitutes a finished generative art piece. In software development, you come up with an idea, implement it, and once it's debugged, it's done. But generative art doesn't have a clear endpoint. Even after debugging, there's always room for more variety. The real challenge for me is decision paralysis—whether to add more of a certain style or aim for balance. My mind feels like a computer, with anxiety and uncertainty being the bugs. Unlike machines, though, artists' struggles are psychological. There's no clear fix, just a need to balance things out, let go, and move on. That's why I call it "de struggle."
この作品は、私が美学に関する試みを超えて、「de struggle」というコンセプトはデバッグ行為の延長線上にあります。今年は、自分が生成アート作品を完成させる基準についてよく考えました。ソフトウェア開発のときは、ニーズに応じてアイデアを出し、それを形にして、デバッグが終われば完成でした。でも、生成アートは違います。デバッグが終わっても、多様性を増す余地が常にあります。最大の難関は、選択のジレンマです。あるスタイルを増やすか、もっと均一にするか。頭の中はコンピュータのようで、不安や不確実性がバグのように感じられます。しかし、アーティストは機械ではありません。この不安はプログラムのバグとは違い、心理的なストラグルです。明確な解答はなく、一定のバランスを取って結果を出し、次に進むしかありません。だからこそ「de struggle」と名付けました。

Global warming continues to raise sea levels, leaving the future of Earth uncertain—or perhaps it's simply one we’d rather not confront or imagine. Generative art, through algorithms, captures a realm of possibilities beyond human reach. With more intense earthquakes around the Pacific Rim, the structural shifts bring land to mimic oceanic whirlpools, and rising sea levels blend land and sea into a state of constant flux. This chaotic state presents a delicate, dynamic balance—whether as a vision humans shy away from or a glimpse through the machine's eye.
지구 온난화로 인해 해수면이 계속 상승하면서 지구의 미래는 불확실해졌습니다—아니면 우리가 마주하거나 상상하고 싶지 않은 모습일지도 모릅니다. 생성 예술은 알고리즘을 통해 인간이 상상할 수 없는 가능성의 영역을 포착합니다. 환경이 불안정해진 환태평양 지역에서는 더 빈번한 지진으로 지구의 구조가 변화하며, 육지는 바다 속 소용돌이처럼 변화하고, 상승하는 해수면이 육지와 바다를 끊임없이 뒤섞입니다. 이 혼돈 상태는 우리가 피하고 싶은 미래일 수도, 혹은 기계의 시선으로 본 미묘하고도 역동적인 균형의 모습일지도 모릅니다.
