Hi! My name is Yushan and you can also call me Mint. I was born in Beijing and currently live in NY. 

The Panopticon Handbook is a personal project that aims to teach the readers the concept of Panopticon in the form of an interactive typography-based playbook. Through several simple games, such as password decoding, connecting-the-dots and finding coordinates, people will develop their own journey throughout the history of panopticon—a disciplinary concept that’s still relevant to our current society. I hid several propaganda posters between the pages as if the book was used as a political weapon from a dystopian drama.
