four letter words
Wednesday, March 31st, 2010Four Letter Words is an installation made by Rob Seward.
It consists of four units, each capable of displaying all 26 letters of the alphabet with an arrangement of fluorescent lights. The piece displays an algorithmically generated word sequence, derived from a word association database developed by the University of South Florida between 1976 and 1998. The algorithms take into account word meaning, rhyme, letter sequencing, and association.

Faç Off (FAC 258) is not only the title of Mancunian design trio Central Station’s forthcoming exhibition – it is a graphic they conjured up for a promotional T-shirt in 1990. “I remember Tony[Wilson]’s reaction when he asked what we’d come up with,” says Central Station’s Karen Jackson. “We showed him, he looked at it and said, ‘Fac off. Brilliant!’”
