BB&M is pleased to announce the representation of Jinjoon Lee, who has since the early 2000s developed an internationally recognized practice encompassing multidisciplinary works ranging from performance and sculpture to installations combining moving image with advanced digital tools.
BB&M will hold a solo exhibition of Jinjoon Lee’s work this fall, opening on August 23 and running through October 18, 2025.
As an artist educated at the Royal College of Art and the Ruskin School who is also a professor at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Lee has focused his inquiry on the intersection of art, technology, and human perception in works that synthesize knowledge from scientific and humanistic fields, utilizing new media and technologies to expand the experiential dimensions of art.
His Wandering Sun (2022–) series, for example, inputs NASA data sets of earth’s atmospheric conditions into a game engine to generate virtual sunrises, creating an immersive installation that delves into the liminality between the natural and the artificial.
More recently, the artist combined a generative-AI video based on the K-pop star G-Dragon’s biometric iris data with music from the singer’s hit “Home Sweet Home” and transmitted it into space using KAIST’s satellite antenna. Titled Good Morning, Mr. G-Dragon (2025), the work invokes the experimental spirit of Nam June Paik’s 1984 video satellite broadcast while prompting a meditation on contemporary human existence in ways both conceptual and poetic, intellectual and emotional.
