No, this isn't a sci-fi movie. This is real.
G-Dragon's actual iris — yes, his eye — just became part of a generative AI art piece that was sent into space. 🌌👁️

KAIST x G-Dragon x AI x outer space = possibly the most mind-blowing collab ever.
The art project, titled "Good Morning, Mr. G-Dragon," explores human emotion through the eye, literally. Using iris data from GD himself, world-renowned media artist Prof. Jinjoon Lee transformed it into a visual representation of an emotional universe — and broadcast it beyond Earth. 🚀🎨

His song 'Home Sweet Home' was also sent into space via satellite, becoming Korea's first-ever contribution to NASA's SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) project — a legacy once shared by The Beatles and Missy Elliott. 🎶👽✨

The project is part of Lee's Open Your Eyes series — a continuation of Nam June Paik's "Good Morning Mr. Orwell" (1984), reimagined for the 21st century with AI, satellites, and K-pop.

"If Paik connected the Earth, we now ask questions beyond it,"
– Prof. Jinjoon Lee

The visuals? GD's iris, reinterpreted through generative AI, projected into a metaphorical Big Bang. The sounds? GD + the historic ringing of Korea's Emile Bell — blended into a celestial performance. 💫🔊

And GD's own words?

"If someone's emotions from Earth float through space and reach another soul… that's the kind of comfort that truly goes far."
– G-Dragon 🖤

This isn't just art. It's a message in a bottle, launched into the cosmos. For anyone feeling unseen — maybe, just maybe — the universe is listening.
