    Pecha Kucha Sydney :: PowerPoint ChitChat

    ...29.07.09

    “As we all know, give a mike to a designer (especially an architect) and you’ll be trapped for hours. The key to PECHA KUCHA is its patented system for avoiding this fate.”

    A bimonthly wet dream for artists, architects, designers, writers, engineers and ideational enthusiasts alike is held in Sydney on the last Thursday-ish of every second month. As per the rules of the global game, each presenter is allowed 20 images, each shown for 20 seconds in a PowerPoint slideshow – that’s 6 minutes 40 seconds to imagine what my life might look like on a stage if I could actually do things..

    Pecha Kucha, which is Japanese for ‘chatter’, is a type of art-meets-sport which was invented in 2003 by British Mark Dytham and Italian Astrid Klein – two architects who thought it up to reinvigorate their Tokyo-based performance space, but had no idea how far it would go. Something about the mixture of concise presentations, inspiration and a heap of booze has allowed Pecha Kucha nights to now reaches 219 cities. Which is a lot. According to Wired, “The result, in the hands of masters of the form, combines business meeting and poetry slam to transform corporate cliche into surprisingly compelling beat-the-clock performance art.”

    The twelfth Pecha Kucha (Sydney) is being held at Carriageworks on August 6, and includes presentations from Craig Schuftan of Culture Club, Hey Neitszche!, and Triple J fame, Sophie Forbat from the iconic Kaldor Public Art Projects, Jay Ryves from record label/design studio/promoters/everything-elsers Future Classic, Christey Johannson from one8one7 – the design company behind Pol Oxygen - and Dirk Anderston from architectural powerhouse Urban Future Organisation. $10 on the door.
