Image RIP is centered around New York graphic designer Geoff Han’s investigation into the Shenzen-based printer Artron. The book explores subjects ranging from design, production, work and the environment in the post-industrial economy.
Image RIP gathers essays by Danielle Aubert, David Bennewith, Geoff Han, Ming Lin, Shanzhai Lyric, David Reinfurt, Mindy Seu and Dena Yago, and features images by Ann Woo. Image RIP reflects a consistent theme in Han’s practice of the manipulation of image reproduction, printing, production, code and other techniques to affect the process of viewing and reading.
