Chit for Chat: Pecha Kucha Night SLO volume 06

Pecha Kucha Night: San Luis Obispo vol. 06


SAN LUIS OBISPO – Back for volume six and celebrating their first year of slide show awesomeness, Pecha Kucha Night: San Luis Obispo is presenting another night of cultural karaoke.

Visual and super sonic, volume six is a digital percussion of music, photography, design, fine art, wheeled objects, and a little bit of nature tossed into the mix.

Fast-paced and wired for the masses, volume six presenters are a mix of professionals, academics, eccentrics, students, and artists, who are brave enough to break the 'death by PowerPoint' mold.

Presenters for PKN vol_06 are:
• Darren Clarke_musician
• Jeff Jamieson_furniture + art
• Tracy Taylor_fine artist
• Bill Mulder_bikes
• Donna Duerk_gardener + professor
• Barry Goyette_photographer w/ Inga Swearingen_vocalist
• Inga Swearingen_vocalist w/ Barry Goyette_photographer

More about the presenters can be found here.

Japanese for "the sound of conversation," Pecha Kucha Night is a digital presentation event where each participant is given 20 slides, 20 seconds per slide to share their works and ideas freely, giving a total of 6 minutes 40 seconds before the next presenter is up. This keeps presentations concise, the interest level up, and gives more people the chance to show. With no specific theme or topic, presenters are provided a forum to render their creativity into a free-flowing non-stop time slot. No breaks. No interruptions. One right after another. It is similar to a Salon from times past, with organizers encouraging event participants and the audience to gather, discuss and socialize.

Held several times a year and originally devised and shared by Tokyo based Klein Dytham Architecture, the local collective is dedicated to seeing the Pecha Kucha philosophy and conversation included as an element in San Luis Obispo’s cultural landscape. They have garnered support from designers, artists, students, professionals and musicians who are all committed to joining the San Luis Obispo conversation. Sponsored by Steynberg Gallery and the generosity of Eric Meyer.
