Abstract

Ran Zhuo’s work was inspired by Masamune Shirow’s original manga, Ghost in the Shell. She used images and text from the adapted movies Ghost in the Shell and Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence, which tells the story of cyborg detective, Batou, and his quest to retain what is left of his ‘humanness’. A double major in Economics and Mathematics with a ‘strong interest in Computer Science’, Ran incorporated common programming symbols in the text. Her work, she has said, is meant to question ‘what makes a human, human’. Produced using a combination of letterpress, digital, and pressure printing, Ran won the 2015 Book Arts Grand Prize.
