09.17.09: 6 minutes & 40 seconds

Tonight was the fourth local version of Pecha Kucha held in the Charlotte region. I have made two of these. The construct is a community-based, opt-in presentation on any topic, by anyone, in a non-commercial way through 20 slides (keynote, powerpoint, etc.) at 20 seconds each, totalling 6 minutes and 40 seconds.

To me, the neat thing about these presentations is they offer tiny vignettes into someone's point-of-view. (Although sometimes 6 minutes and 40 seconds can seem like eternity.)

And like reading the newspaper, where I regularly read headlines and skip articles, content is delivered to me in a way that I will learn/become aware without a conscious choice.
