"Winnie Soon is an artist-researcher born in Hong Kong. Helen Pritchard is an artist and researcher."
"The audio installation piece If I wrote you a love letter would you write back? uses procedural translation to collect discourse from Twitter and translate it into spoken words. Tweets are chosen from the live web based on the presence of the '?' character, which renders the search an at-times poignant record of questions that might otherwise go unheard and unanswered on Twitter's broadcast network. The poetics of the piece thus combine human-generated language and computer-generated words, rendering the human inhuman through the process of audio translation while removing the questions from their original context and conversations. As an installation, the piece engulfs the viewers in an endless set of unanswered queries." -- from Electronic Literature Collection, Volume 3
