Kayle Brandon and Heath Bunting Kayle Brandon and Heath Bunting formed a collaborative duo in 2001. They have been pursuing experiences that embody interests in adventure, survival, play and self guided exploration. Out of their direct action experiences, the Duo often creates participatory events, slideshows, posters, and publications serving as functional guides to aid others in their doings. Both are members of the international collective irrational.org and as ‘Irationalists’, create work that pushes the boundaries between the realms of business, art and sciences.BorderXing BorderXing Kayle Brandon Presents BorderXing Kayle Brandon and Heath Bunting’s approach to research and making work is often very hands on: they like non-exclusive relations and real time experiences. They often use street activity techniques, and easily accessible tools aid them in their work and help convey the message. Often they go into things with a beginner’s innocence, unschooled in the codes of practice that may encircle their field of interest. Hence a process of self-learning runs parallel to the process of developing work. This approach enables a sense of meaningful travel and personal development. Currently, the Duo is collaborating on a project called Avon Canoe Pilot, an exploration of a stretch of a local river that is little used by common folk. The duo have been inducing activity in and around the river, creating journey plans for canoe trips, increasing its access and devising The Duo often works for the fulfillment of a desire to increase wild states and states of wildness.
