Giang visits her aunt Mười in the Mekong delta (Tien Giang) for the summer to give her mother personal space and time to sort things out. The slow rhythm of countryside life, children’s games, and close relationship within the neighborhood help Giang forget about her personal troubles and the hot Mekong sun. Seeing her 60-year-old aunt constantly busy with farm work, Giang decides to help out. The film develops through Giang’s perspective, weaving documentary foot- ages with a fictional storyline. Through Giang and aunt Mười’s developing relationship we get a sense of the slow and drawn-out rhythm of life in the rural South of Vietnam, the close contact between human and animals, the switch from traditional methods to reliance on industrial feed, concerns sur- rounding food safety, and the perception and interests of a typical farming household in the Mekong Delta. The film also introduces a new angle into the relationship between human and animals, and the inseparable ties be- tween life and death.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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”.
