Sending sound into space

The Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST, President Lee Kwang-hyung) collaborated with media artist Professor Lee Jin-joon of the Graduate School of Culture Technology and global artist G-Dragon to launch a 'Space Sound Transmission Project' based on media art at the KAIST Space Research Institute on the 9th.



This project was proposed as part of the 'AI Entertech Research Center' being promoted by KAIST and Galaxy Corporation. This project will be the world's first to transmit messages and sound sources from singer G-Dragon (Kwon Ji-yong), who is an artist affiliated with Galaxy Corporation



and a visiting professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at KAIST, into space. This is a convergence project that combines science, technology, art, and popular music, and is a new form of 'space cultural content' experiment that connects KAIST's cutting-edge space technology, Professor Lee Jin-joon's media art, and G-Dragon's voice and sound source (HOME SWEET HOME).

This collaboration was planned with the theme of 'emotional signals that expand the inner universe of humans to the outer space.' The image of G-Dragon's iris was augmented through AI as an inner window symbolizing his uniqueness and identity. The new song 'Home Sweet Home' was combined with an audio message containing emotional vibrations.



The symbolic performance of the inner universe being transmitted to outer space through the next-generation small satellite developed by the KAIST Space Research Institute was completed.



Professor Jin-Jun Lee's cinematic media art piece 'Iris' was unveiled at the site. This piece was screened using projection mapping on the 13m space antenna of the KAIST Space Research Institute, the first of its kind in the world.



This video was created using generative AI technology based on an image of G-Dragon's iris, and combined with sound using data from the bell sound of the Emile Bell, which holds 1,000 years of history, it presents an emotional artistic experience that transcends time and space.



Professor Lee Jin-joon said, "The iris is a symbol that reflects inner emotions and identity, to the point that it is called the 'mirror of the soul,' and this work tried to express 'the infinite universe seen through the inner self of humanity' through G-Dragon's gaze."



KAIST President Lee Kwang-hyung said, "KAIST is a place that always supports new imaginations and challenges," and "We will strive to ensure that creative research that no one has thought of can continue in the future, like this project that combines science, technology, and art."

Livestock Manure Methane Is Soaring, But 'Resource Recovery' Isn't Working [Now is a Climate Crisis]

이미지
It has been pointed out that the methane emissions from the livestock waste treatment process were actually reported to be 2.5 times smaller than the previous calculation standards. It is expected that livestock waste will increase rapidly in the future, but an analysis report has been released that 'biogasification', which turns it into a resource, is only at the 10% level. It is urgent to come up with countermeasures as methane, one of the greenhouse gases, is expected to increase rapidly. According to the analysis of the entire livestock waste treatment process for the first time in Korea, the largest source of methane emissions was pigs (73%), and only 14% of pig waste was used for biogas in the public sector. It has been pointed out that it is urgent to come up with countermeasures as methane from livestock waste is increasing rapidly but 'resource conversion' is insufficient.

The Korean launch vehicle Nuriho will be launched for the fourth time in November. Nuriho plans to build technological sophistication through its sixth launch in the future. [Photo = Korea Aerospace Research Institute] Large and small launch vehicle companies have joined forces to develop future space transportation technology. Perigee Aerospace (Perigee) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Hanwha Aerospace on the 26th to establish a cooperative system between the two companies for the development of space transportation technology. Through this agreement, the two companies plan to share technological and sales capabilities to strengthen space launch vehicle development capabilities and continue strategic cooperation. The Hanwha Aerospace delegation, which visited the Perigee Rocket Development Complex (RDC) in Okcheon, Chungcheongbuk-do, signed the business agreement and toured the development status of the space launch vehicle 'Blue Whale 1 (BW1)' cu...

When a star swallows a planet... [Now in space]

이미지
What happens when a star swallows a planet? The James Webb Space Telescope has released the results of observing a star 12,000 light-years away from Earth using its observation equipment. NASA reported the news on the 10th (local time). In conclusion, the star did not swell enough to swallow the planet as previously hypothesized. Instead, the planet's orbit gradually approached the star and was absorbed by the star. As the planet's orbit gradually got closer to the star, the planet was finally swallowed by the star. [Photo = NASA, ESA, CSA, R. Crawford (STScI)] The process of a star swallowing a planet revealed by NASA was that a planet the size of Jupiter first orbited very close to the star, closer than Mercury orbiting the Sun. Then, the planet's orbit gradually decreased over time. The planet gradually approached the star. As it approached the star, the planet began to brush against the star's atmosphere. As the planet fell in...
