# 참고로 민구홍은…

Born March 5, 1985. I received formal Montessori education in 1989, around the age of five. I first encountered a computer, a Macintosh LC, in 1991, around the age of seven, and made my first website for a dear friend in 1995, around the age of eleven. I studied literature and linguistics at Chung-Ang University and computer programming at the School for Poetic Computation (SFPC) in the US (though I prefer to call it “literature and linguistics in a narrow sense,” or simply “poetic computation”), and learned various practical skills, including knot tying, ikebana, and design, through Google. I worked as a researcher in Professor Ahn Sang-soo’s laboratory at Hongik University (also known as “Wing House”) (despite the title, there was hardly any work to do). After working in the Publishing Division at Ahn Graphics, I work as an editor at Workroom, planning books such as Practical Books and Ametora. Meanwhile, I run the one-person company Min Guhong Manufacturing. I discuss and teach coding from the perspective of “practical yet conceptual writing” at New Order, a self-described “cultural course for modern people.” I have given lectures and workshops large and small at Kaywon University of Art and Design, Asia Culture Center, the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Kookmin University, Nanji Art Studio, The Book Society, Tokyo University of the Arts, Studio Pie, Workroom, Ewha Womans University, Seoul Museum of Art, Seoul National University, the University of Seoul, Chwimiga, Fruitful School, Hongik University, Korea National University of Arts, and whatreallymatters, among others. Books I have translated include Forget All the Rules About Graphic Design. Including the Ones in This Book. (Studio Ghost, 2017).

Since then its curriculum has been refined through the generous support of Paju Typography Institute and of Studio Pie and Chwimiga, run by artists Kim Donghee, Don Sunpil, and Park Hyunjung and curator Kwon Soonwoo. It continues to evolve.”](https://minguhong.fyi/images/new-order-talk.jpg)
