Guy Sherwin started off as a painter who later got involved in film through the London Film-Makers' Co-op and has since established himself in the forefront in the field of expanded cinema. He has been making films since the ‘70s along with live performances and more recently, gallery installations. His approaches film as an analytic medium, capable of uncovering truths about the world and our perception of it. Guy lives in London and have taught film and fine art in the UK and USA. He is also a guest curator of the exhibition of expanded cinema: Film in Space, Camden Arts Centre, London 2012/3.

Lynn Loo was a piano teacher before making her first 16mm black and white experimental film, Untitled One, at The Substation in 1997. It took 27 years before it got its first screening at Objectifs - Centre for Photography and Film, where she held her first solo exhibition in Singapore, Poetry in Patterns. She studied 16mm film production at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1998. Tapping into impressionistic, poetic essay to material-based abstract forms, she works with systems and visual perceptions, often looking for connections between representational images and structural ideas. Her works have participated in international film, visual art and sound festivals, galleries and institutions.
