I began to see the complexity and fluidity of sexuality and gender in my early 20s, as growing up believing in a particular concept of my sexuality and others, I felt stuck to an idea. I wanted to be a boy and aspired that when I’m grown enough to have a job I would begin to save money for a sex change surgery. This film celebrates the transcending and inner self discovery, from there, it simplifies self-acceptance. Reflecting on my upbringing and adolescence memoir, performed by myself presenting with a humour approach.

The city of Wolfsburg can be interpreted as a model of various urban planning and architectural blueprints of modernity. The film fluctuates between cinematic movement and photographic stagnation, thereby counteracting the metropolitan directive regarding mobility and acceleration.

The short video vignettes use both animated environments and real footage in an attempt to blur the line between augmented realities and actual settings in order to create an ominous atmosphere of transformation and exposure. It is my intention that the videos function by capturing imagined moving images in believable but slightly skewed settings that are both convincing and unsettling that creates a context that accentuates the sinister socio-political content of the quick (TV advertising length) punch-line animations The Vignettes of War and Business are a series of recent interrelated short 3D animations woven together that obliquely refer to the US ?permanent war economy? that has been transposed into the context of modern corporate New Zealand (which, as in most countries, is often at the mercy of the ?virtual parliament? of international investors and corporations). These vignettes reflect on paranoia, beauty and terror that is inherent in the modern world both here and in the USA. (8 min 56 sec) ?Fleece Blackout?: a short video animation of a 3D model sheep that stands (mostly) stationary and statue-like in a mountainous landscape while cruise missiles fly by and the woollen fleece on the sheep slowly turns into a photographic floral pattern. ?Masquerade?: a whimsical vignette of manufactured fear -?starring? a clown based on a 19th century cast iron bank, and a news commentator in a gas mask (waiting for the WMD?s during the invasion of Iraq.) ?4 Heads?: 4 heads with balaclava-like mapping of textiles wiggling their ears and noses. (with clips morphed from the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers) ?Red Cap?: Obliquely referring to the Citizen Cain inspired lost innocence. The Return of the Body Snatchers: The Return of the Body Snatchers is a 3d animation (obliquely influenced by the original Siegel movie The Invasion of the Body Snatchers) that takes into consideration the current global social-political climate of fear. ?Girl in the Canoe?, the sheep from ?Fleece Blackout? float down a river. It is followed by an inner tube and rubber duckie. A ?girl on a canoe? is reflected on the water. An old trite postcard of a girl in the Canoe in Wanganui, New Zealand fades (and blurs) out at the end of the clip. The soundtrack is by myself and the addition of three musical clips: by Alistair Galbraith and Constantine Karlis from the CD Radiant¸ ?In Prelight Isolate? by Set Fire To Flames, from the album ?Telegraphs in Negative?, and ?Translation? by Songs:Ohia.

This video is a scrapbook of dreams of (or by) animals inhabiting a world without humans. Natural Intelligence is “intelligence created by nature, natural evolutionary mechanisms,” - as opposed to artificial intelligence. With it, “there is a dynamic movement of natural intelligence that evolves from vague, fuzzy, and unconscious states to more concrete and conscious states, and thus realizing the essence of perception” (Perlovsky and Kozma, 2007, p. 1). It is beautiful and deeply flawed, but it levels out in the end.

It is a dreamscape of various domestic and wild animals inhabiting human architectural spaces metaphorically and physically as both totems and discrete intelligent beings. The title is taken from a series of paintings by the Quaker minister and painter, Edward Hicks.

Ghost Zone is an homage to Tarkovsky`s “Stalker” (1979) takes us on a journey to the original expedition into the ineffable aqueous “Zone” - where wishes may be granted to one’s detriment. Bunkley stitches together his own footage in such a way that the landscape and buildings resemble a magic realist post-apocalyptic wasteland. Photographic composites of two rural locations has been made a lot easier with the use of drone captured imagery in that they will accommodate points of view not accessible form the ground. From this data he uses photogrammetry 3D scanning to create his eerie works as “œislands of memory┝ - akin to the islands that feature in the science fiction film Solaris (1972) by Andrei Tarkovsky. (Photogrammetry uses multiple photographs placed within software that creates 3d printable meshes.) By extracting these images, the buildings are divorced from their surrounds while the videos resemble chunks of architecture and landscape made from an indefinable material floating in black cyberspace.Ultimately they refer to eschatology - the “end of time”.

Oil, ghost towns and dust devils are aligned as tropes of climate change. Tornado-like dust devils, as canaries in the coal mine, are increasingly common in hot, barren deserts and in drought stricken areas of the world. I imagined spilling flower petals into the path of dust devil so that it would create a colorful vortex of swirling petals. I recently found a few dust devils during each of my 3 trips to the California desert, but they are fast, dissipate quickly and mostly too far off the road to catch…always just ahead of my car. When I was ready to give up looking after my third desert trip and was focusing my camera on abandoned school, a well-formed small dust devil appeared about 10 meters to my right. I turned my camera on a tripod towards it, snatched a bag of flower petals that I had bought at LA`s flower district and ran into the small vortex dumping the contents. It grabbed the petals and dumped them over a nearby road.

Up River Blues is a dreamlike series of vignettes featuring the region surrounding the Whanganui River Valley. The Whanganui River is New Zealand?s longest navigable river with rich historical significance. The abandoned Shangri-la commune of Ahu Ahu Ohu, on the Ahu ahu tributary of the Whanganui is the central feature of this video. In 1974 the NZ government found an ?Ohu Scheme? on public land to establish communes - ?intentional communities?. Most failed. This was one of the longest lasting "Ohus". A sense of apocalyptic foreboding was created through special effects including 3D animations of a stranded Russian submarine rusting on a steep inland hill and black helicopters flying over Ahu Ahu Ohu. (In fact, helicopters are a reality in this region in the government?s search for marijuana crops; the hills are indeed former sea beds.) In combining apocalyptic paranoia with irreverent whimsy the video ends with a tree disappearing into its shadow and a crop duster reversing into a cloud of dust.

Las fuerzas follows a group of future jockeys. Under a school logic, with methods and forms of assimilation similar to any other kind of learning system, the material to be modeled is the body. A body that is complemented by an other, a small body that should not grow, of a latent fragility, always about to break.

February 2004. An agent of the Bureau of Inverse Technology (BIT) transiting Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), is surrounded and immobilised by at least 16 police and airline security officials, for declining to remove her rollerblades. This refusal, seemingly trivial, precipitates the traveller across the fine line from Premiere customer to possible insane felon. The agent`s digital camera, stowed in her carry-on baggage, records the encounter. LAX captures the banality of a routine airport disaster that can be seen to exhibit a broader condition: the escalation of controls; the amendments to personal mobility; and the diffuse effects of over-policing airports in the wake of September 11. "YOU WORE YOUR ROLLERBLADES TODAY BUT YOU DECIDED YOU DIDN`T WANT TO CARRY YOUR CERTIFICATE THAT AUTHORISES YOU TO WEAR ROLLERBLADES"

Bureau of Inverse Technology (BIT) formed 1991 in Melbourne AU, incorporated Cayman Islands. The Bureau is an information agency servicing the Information Age.

The city is not. Not because of a hypothetical, physical absence — the city is well present — but because it escapes naming. (Johannes Binotto and Andri Gerber)

Generalized Hospitals: The Luke Luke & Laura Laura story …Just one more thing! VILM, Stereo, Color, 57:30, DCP, 2024 Generalized Hospitals: The Luke Luke and Laura Laura story …Just one more thing! is the latest collaboration by Darrin Martin and Torsten Zenas Burns reframing elements of nostalgic popular culture into contemporary dialogue with soap operatic tropes, fictional televisual humor, and interspecies relationships. Characters from daytime drama, 1970's children programming, gameshows, and sequential art history are reimagined and re-contextualized to consider new potential mutations and cohabitations to thrive in a changing environment. Transformation is unboxed, and memory solicited through easter eggs, lidar animations, appropriations, and original videos interweaving recognizable characters from television commingled with their new doubled variants. Just one more thing…. Our forecasted performative rituals may suggest ways that these characters merge human and non-human characteristics of past trauma into new bodies of possibility.

A Chant for the Bees is a film about everyday events: a visit to a nearby copse by the creek, some goats at the farm, some young tennis players volleying and breathing heavily on a summer's day, a young family preparing to embark on a ferry, a visit to the seals at the aquarium, some amusement park rides, the neighbour’s cat on the front porch, a stroll past the supermarket on the high street, a view of some ships at harbour. The original music is composed by Alan Gasser. The libretto is based on a list of the 100 largest companies in the world from Fortune Magazine. It is sung as a Georgian Chant by Alan Gasser and Emma So.

The human being in the net, an image that is paradigmatic for the entire work: Laocoon, the warner in front of the Trojan horse, as a sculpture he is already constricted by the snake, the snake connects him with his sons, together they form an ensemble of powerlessness. The warner in front of the poisoned gift of the future repeats what Pandora’s box has brought over mankind. The future that points out from this present holds dangers and hopes in equal measure. In HOW LONG IS NOW the spider’s web appears in a variety of ways. It is the imperial railway network that spreads colonialism, it is the data cables that lie in the sea between the continents, it is the algorithms that dominate trade and stock exchange, it is the gps system, the face recognition software, the distorted maps of the world. The human being in it struggles with his mortality, struggles with language, the concepts that shape thought and action, struggles with morality and struggles with its expansion in the technosphere. The film makes shameless use of the image reservoir of the twentieth century, casually quoting the history of the moving image and the history of its progressive virtualization. The image plane sometimes nestles close to the spoken narrative of the lectures, then again it expands the space of discourse, adds associations and situations, and networks itself with the heritage of the expanded present. For four years I have been participating in these events and produced a series of short cinema trailers to promote them. The clips are 30 second long experimental films in a stream of consciousness manner. With the visual archive that was created along these productions and the possibility to use the HKW archive, the idea arose to develop a long, full-length work from it. I wanted to create a space of possibilities in which questions about our present can be articulated, beyond the quickly googled answer

"Gesichte" is an old fashioned german word, close to "Gesichter", which means "faces", but these faces are more of a vision, an image from a dream or a hallucination, it is about inner landscapes. The one who sees these phantoms is in a transcendent room, an undefined in-between. "Gesichte" also appears in the japanese Noh theatre plays, where real people meet ghosts, souls of the passed, that find no rest. The Visions Book - in Germany nearly a translation of "facebook" - is a collection of my obsession of this worlds in-between, merging worlds, overlapping worlds, overlapping like two green screen video images, not accurate enough to avoid the light greenish shimmer in the hair of the teenage model. The basis of this collection is the photographic still image, the frozen pose. The film is like a photobook in time, the "book" like part of it like a page of a facebook chronical, a pile of short clips, pix, texts, comments, in a boundless subjectivity.
