REALTIME ARTS – Magazine – issue 87 – MIFF 2008_ lo-tech brilliance. Oct-Nov 2008
“Vowels and Consonants was a piece for six projectors that screened variations on a simple, flickering font printed from computer onto acetate and then transferred to film. O’s and E’s fly into frame like amoeba under a microscope, vibrating and oscillating in response, seemingly, to the treated voices that announce their arrival; I’m sure the letters were triggering sound somehow. Sherwin and Loo manipulate the projectors to introduce fades, cuts and cross-fades matching the overlapping effect of the voice. The letters fold and bounce off each other. The overall effect is synaesthetic, like you’re actually watching sound take shape (and in fact the sound design was really something too—an ominous, post-industrial hum).”

THE WIRE issue 259 September. “… The night’s most inventive film, Lynn Loo and Guy Sherwin’s Vowels and Consonants, sets dozens of monochrome letters in mesmerizing motion across the screen. A they spill onto the floor and ceiling, the characters burn into your retina as if written in the air with a sparkler. …”
