Jiwo means soul while Jiro means zero. Put together, JIWO JIRO means "zero soul".
A story about man and machine. A man, a midget who speaks loudly like the tall fat giant who sleeps in the cabinet. He sings like the nightingale who has lost her chord. He dances like mad on the rooftop. He cooks with a microwave recipe in mind. He climbs the ladder to fix the bulb. "Stupid" is his first word said before everything.
But somewhere after midnight, he will cry staring at his own invention, which is an electronic bonsai tree, while the villagers laugh out loud till he sleeps. In his dreams, he imagines a world where the difference between man and machine blurs, where the line between humanity and technology fades, and where the soul and the silicon chip unite.
He questions the Laws of Human Nature every night.
Right or Wrong? Man or Machine? Jiwo or Jiro? He asked... God.
