The Gertrude Street Projection Festival has been running all week, with the annual celebration of the visual medium lighting up the inner north since last Friday night. If you haven’t had the chance to check out the public works yet, you’ve still got some time this week and while we encourage you to come and visit ASAP, there’s a particularly good party happening on Saturday night.

To celebrate the completion of another mesmerising year, the GSPF team have entrusted our good friends at Paradise Music to put on a fitting closing ceremony of sorts and it’s all going to go down at The Catfish Bar (on Gertrude Street, obviously) on July 23. The incredible lineup features Marcus Whale launching his EP Inland Sea, an epic AV collab between friendships and Null, a contemporary dance performance from Dreamteam Projects, and producer Deer’s first foray into a live AV set.

Being a largely visual celebration, we asked the guys to share with us some of their favourite videos (music, or otherwise) and if you’re at all familiar with the conceptual level this group operates on, you already know that things are about to get really weird. Unfortunately, you probably won’t get to witness any of these as part of their performances but rest assured, it’ll be a pretty fascinating night. But to see some things you will never unsee, scroll through the list below.

01. friendships

This video confronts the core of determinism. Free will is not binary, but an illusion. “Why” and “why not” weave into the same argument formatted by predetermination. Let this video consume you and you will chew on the tar pit of inevitability. A rabbit warren of your own causality. A Penrose staircase that allows a stepladder. Escapism.

02. Marcus Whale

Nothing I can think of in the world of culture rivals the majesty of a Nadal banana forehand. Taken from the most abject position on the court at the very edge of losing, the ball is, spectacularly, bent through the air with the kind of ferocious spin that can only come from Rafa’s sublime touch. I could watch it on loop.

03. Null

This is one of the most important pieces of media developed in the past century. Any elaboration on my behalf would be an abomination of the message. Enjoy.

04. DEER

One man, one voice, one body of sound, this video always reminds me of how beautiful Australian music is and how powerful it can be.

05. Dreamteam Projects

Super informative instructional hip-hop video. Not only does it teach you how to dance, but how to live your life also. 10/10.
