Pecha Kucha

Lynne and I went to a Pecha Kucha night at Tramway. It is an interesting concept created by a Japanese Architecture firm who were inviting tenders but knowing who much people like to waffle on created a strict code 20 slides 20 seconds per slide.

So in Tramway the same rules applied - Pecha Kucha events happen in many cities across the world. The event was running as part of Glasgow International Festival of Visual art and it was mostly artists who were represented. The presentations varied a lot in style and topic and the short time scale meant that if you found one boring you weren't bored for long.

My favourites were the funny ones David Shrigley did an almost alphabet and Neil Bickerton's Prison game. but other were academic and talking about the idea of identity and anonymity - or the film Point Break as a political message.
