Pecha Kucha: Get to the PowerPoint in 20 Slides

Let us now bullet-point our praise for Mark Dytham and Astrid Klein, two Tokyo-based architects who have turned PowerPoint, that fixture of cubicle life, into both art form and competitive sport. Their innovation, dubbed pecha-kucha (Japanese for "chatter"), applies a simple set of rules to presentations: exactly 20 slides displayed for 20 seconds each. That's it. Say what you need to say in six minutes and 40 seconds of exquisitely matched words and images and then sit the hell down. The result, in the hands of masters of the form, combines business meeting and poetry slam to transform corporate clich into surprisingly compelling beat-the-clock performance art.The duo — Dytham is British, Klein Italian — invented pecha-kucha four years ago to help revive a struggling performance space they owned. The first presentations were such a hit that they began hosting monthly pecha-kucha events, boozy affairs at which Tokyo architects and designers showcased their streamlined offerings to crowds of hundreds. Now there are pecha-nights in 80 cities, from Amsterdam and Atlanta to San Francisco and Shanghai. Why? Dytham believes that the rules have a liberating effect. "Suddenly," he says, "there's no preciousness in people's presentations." Just poetry.By Dan Pink | Wired Magazine Issue 15.09

Is "Fundamental" supposed to be misspelled?

This was my introduction to Pecha Kucha and I loved it. The subject matter had a lot to do with that though. Great job!On another note, my vid titled "Reading is Fundemental" clearly isn't Pecha Kucha. Since I'm not familiar with this topic, does anyone know if that particular video falls into any presentation classification?

Just posted a video response ... you say towards the start of your video, Daniel, that doing a PK on PK is too post-modern for you...... so I got all post modern and did it instead! Thanks for inspiring me!

Sorry - that was supposed to be a reply to 'tehblunderbuss's comment but came out in the wrong place for some reason...

Ahem! "exquisitely matched words and images"

Exactly what it should be.It isn't: blah blah blah about this slide. Ok next slide. Blah blah blah about this slide. Next slide.Pecha-kucha is like speed golf of presentation, I gather.

Hey im doing a pechakucha for my university project. I hate to sound much smarter than i am but i thought that it had to be 20seconds on each slide. Your speech sort of rolls into the next one so it isnt really 20seconds perslide, its more like 6mins 40 seconds of speech with images that change every 20 seconds.

Terrific! I finished your book last week and was very impressed. Insightful, useful, and playful. Thanks!
For those considering buying a new vehicle, don't forget to check out the new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Great for adventures off road, just for cruising around town, or running to the store.

The new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser seats five and comes in two-tone with a Voodoo Blue, Titanium Metallic, Black Diamond, Sun Fusion, Sandstorm or Brick body color and White top. The interior fabric color is Dark Charcoal, while the dash, center instrument panel trim and the door inserts match the body.
