SunsetDawn | 日落的黎明 event

Posted: Nov 15, 2011

This is a trailer for a pilot project I filmed this summer about an attempt to connect spiritually East and West through a ceremony of SunsetDawn, which included songs, stories and poems from around the world, performed on the Midsummer Day at a Napoleonic Fort Perch Rock at the mouth of river Mersey, opposite Liverpool Bay.

60 Steps promo video 2011

60 Steps promo video 2011

Posted: Sep 21, 2011

 This short promo video links the past and the present of our experiences of one of the Glasgow's West End forgotten monuments that now belong to the community of local residents. The newly established Trust is trying to restore the so-called '60 steps' to its former glory, when it used to connect terraced communities across the River Kelvin.

I used Gillian Anderson's footage from her 'House of Mirth' film (2000) as she rushes up these same steps, which meant to be somewhere in Boston/NY? and mixed them with my own footage, briefly filmed on a typical 'good weather' day in Glasgae!

Ultimate Footprint: A Day in Digital Life, documentary, 9min., 2011

Ultimate Footprint: A Day in Digital Life, documentary, 9min., 2011

Posted: Sep 20, 2011

This is a short documentary about a pilot project run by the researchers at University of Salford Business School who wanted to capture and understand the individuals' digital footprints as they use and come into contact with Internet, surveillance, communications and database technologies over a 24-hour period in 2011. This is 'benchmarking' for understanding humanity's growing digital footprint - perhaps, our ultimate footprint on this planet.

One of the main collaborators and visual artists who helped on this project - Heath Bunting
