collaboration. Each of his music videos are a testament to this, bringing together diverse directors, artists and animators. Often involving a range of complex animation and ?lmmaking techniques, Gotye creates visual worlds that ?oat seamlessly against his music; clips that demonstrate a musician’s work becoming inseparable from its moving image representation. As part of Spectacle: The Music Video Exhibition at ACMI, and in collaboration with Melbourne Music Week, Gotye will come together with some of his creative partners including Natasha Pincus, Darcy Prendergast and directors of Rubber House animation studio, Ivan Dixon and Greg Sharp, to discuss the creative process behind the music videos they have worked on.

The discussion will focus on a selection of Gotye’s most renowned videos: ‘Easy Way Out’, ‘Seven Hours With a Back Seat Driver’, ‘State of the Art’ and the international chart-topping ‘Somebody That I Used to Know’. Hosted by ?lm and music critic Megan Spencer, this event will provide fascinating insight on the start-to-?nish collaborative journey, from initial concept and creative development, through to ?nal clip production.
