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 showed 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 …

So you reckon pecha kucka is a potentially “One Trick Fits All” strategy which is essentially and generally less effective than what Danial Pink thinks?
February 9th, 2010 at 9:46 pm
There is no such thing as a One Trick Fits All scenario.

Okay silly me that didn´t check who you were. For the rest of it: I disagree. I find no reason to defend myself. Have a fantastic weekend.

I don’t reckon you know how YouTube works. I didn’t post the video. It’s not my presentation. Read those last two sentances again. Then have a reckon about my comment on intelligence.

This is not about winning and loosing. I reckon your reaction is hillarious. You are taking my remark personally in stead of merely going on discussing what signs should do and shouldn\t do. This is not about what I am like, or who you are. I was interested in discussing the (mis)use of signs. Your presentation was not terrible at all. Signs ARE for everyone. They are also a controlling tool. Critique is excellent for us, your presentation and me. And also for society. You may disagree. Fine.
February 16th, 2010 at 2:08 am
Excellent – you lost.
February 16th, 2010 at 4:52 am
I rest my case.

If you cannot see that’s you are being a hypocrite then you have no hope. I am arguing your opinion is incorrect and you should check your thinking otherwise you run the risk of assumed intelligence. If you’ve taken that personally – too terrible. you’ve just confirmed what I thought. you are a bit too emiotnally sensitive to pass judgement. Signs are for everyone not just one person.
February 18th, 2010 at 12:06 pm
I reckon you are showing not being able to take critique seriously and respectfully. It means you do not respect your subject either. That is a shame. To direct people in such ways as in some of your examples can be to belittle people, at the least. I reckon it will not help this world at all. I am not attacking you as a person, but you are doing so towards me. That is a terrible thing to do, and you might want to question yourself if you belong to “those who know how to behave”.
Excellent luck.
February 18th, 2010 at 7:53 pm
‘We’ are not intelligent people. There are intelligent people who know how to behave. But, the experience can be improved for those who are more likely not to follow these rules by these types of signs. If you reckon this is ‘manipulating’ then you might not be as intelligent as you reckon.
February 21st, 2010 at 5:29 am
I am sorry, but I would like signs more creative and not (nearly) emotionally manipulating all the time, like in your examples. We are intelligent people, do we really need to have social ground rules pointed out and clarified these ways? That´s a terrible thing really.

Thank your for that example, I just heared about PK and wanted to find out more, and your presentation is a excellent demonstration. But it also points out a problem of the method: When there is a strong connection between the explanation and the images, the presentation suffers terribly when the speaker lags behind. It needs very precise timing, otherwise the people get really irritated when you still talk about the last slide and already show the next one.
February 24th, 2010 at 8:59 pm
excellent talk, but
it’s not “peh-CHAch-ka”
but rather “peh-CHAK-cha
February 25th, 2010 at 4:35 pm
Thanks! I like learning new strategies and this is new for me! I like it and I can’t wait to use it!
February 27th, 2010 at 4:40 pm
This is how Powerpoint should be used. I don’t personally adhere to the time limit per slide. But, the point of letting the image silently “speak” WITH the speaker – not in place of – is what this presentation skill is all about in my mind. Jeff Korhan

woohoo.just upload my first clip Pecha Kucha presentation!!! i am excited LOL.

Hey there
I’m currently across from the UK working in DC for a month, and was interested to learn you are also here. Do some presentation work myself and loved both your talk and content.
Thanks

Thank you very much, that gave me an thought how I’m going to prepare and what I should place into my Pecha Kucha presentation.
March 8th, 2010 at 7:53 am
remember there were 8 minute abs, then 7 minute abs? well, i’ve invented 18 slides shown for 18 seconds each. go fuck yourselves, 20 slides for 20 seconds! haha
March 10th, 2010 at 11:56 am
no. thank you for pointing that out
March 10th, 2010 at 7:42 pm
Is “Fundamental” supposed to be misspelled?
March 14th, 2010 at 2:13 am
This was my introduction to Pecha Kucha and I loved it. The subject matter had a lot to do with that though. Fantastic 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?
March 17th, 2010 at 8:55 am
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!
