Pecha Kucha Night #6
Event Type:
LectureTuesday, September 2, 2008 8:00pm

"The Pecha Kucha formula is simple: A dozen creative minds (lighting
designers, musicians, filmmakers, etc.) have six minutes and 40 seconds
to present and discuss 20 slides of their work. But the implementation
of that streamlined formula isn’t so simple: At only 20 seconds per
slide, with each one timed by a computer, the presenter must not only
be knowledgeable and well spoken, but also poised under the clock.
Conceived in Japan in 2003 by architects Mark Dytham and Astrid Klein
as a way to draw business to their fledgling experimental event space,
SuperDeluxe, the informal presentation format has become viral; more
than 80 cities worldwide host monthly Pecha Kucha nights."
