Inspired by the Dinosaur Game (T-Rex Game) that appears on Chrome when the Internet connection is lost, The Life Story of GD retraces the life of a dinosaur endlessly running in search of someone to scratch its belly. HaYoung imagines the life of GD, born from the rupture of the network, and through this character questions the possibility of connection with others.
The network falters again.
