Brogan Bunt is the Head of Postgraduate Studies and convenor of the Bachelor of Digital Media program. He has a background in traditional media production that is combined with current expertise in the field of software art. He has a particular interest in computational media and general media history and theory. One of his major works, Halfeti-Only Fish Shall Visit (2001) is an experimental documentary focusing on the flooding of a small Turkish town on the banks of the Euphrates River. It structures oral-historical documentary in terms of the paradigms of spatial navigation found within computer games. Another work, Ice Time (2005), fragments the playback of video sequences of the Antarctic landscape. Most recently, he has produced the algorithmic print exhibition, Loom, which explores the aesthetic potential of recursive geometric subdivision.
