Description
Get to the point, your research point, in 20 PowerPoint slides. Printmakers may be poetic, purposeful, provocative, performative, progressive, palpable, passionate, pizazzy, P.H.A.T, or all of the above. PenchaKucha is a power point presentation with a simple format: 20 images x 20 seconds. This keeps presentations concise and moving. It’s a great equalizer for participants. More specifically, the format is 20 images that advance automatically every 20 seconds for a total presentation time of 400 seconds or 6 minutes and 40 seconds.
PechaKucha was created by Mark Dytham and Astrid Klein, of Tokyo based Klein-Dytham Architecture (KDa), to keep architectural presentations concise. Since the creation of PechaKucha, over 600 PechaKucha nights have occurred worldwide in numerous cities and have been used in teaching and research situations at various universities and conferences. Wired Magazine: Issue 15.09 states “Say what you need to say in six minutes and 40 seconds of exquisitely matched words and images and then sit the hell down.” Dytham is quoted as saying “Suddenly…there’s no preciousness in people’s presentations. Just poetry.” PechaKucha 20x20 is a concise way for printmakers to present work, meet and mingle.
