Pecha Kucha (5:00-6:00 PM) Close out the Summit with a diverting Pecha Kucha “Happy Hour” event featuring authors and illustrators whose work have made the digital shift. But what—you ask exactly is a Pecha Kucha (pronounced “pa-chok-cha“)? The fast-paced format was created by Mark Dytham and Astrid Klein, two Tokyo-based architects. Pecha Kucha (Japanese for “chatter”) applies a simple set of rules to the by now “tired”-and-true PPT preso: a Pecha Kucha must be exactly 20 slides and each slide is displayed for no more than 20 seconds. Some say it’s the new digital performance art, some call it the anti-PPT, but most simply pronounce it fun. See also: http://www.pecha-kucha.org/. |
