About this original series

Recently we, Aaron & I, did our first Pecha Kucha in Greenville, SC. We enjoyed it so much that we have decided to create a Blip.tv channel and continue to make them as a way to share our thoughts and ideas with others. We've all been to hear speakers who just prattle on and on... They never get to the point & 90 minutes later, you're ready to jam the nearest pencil, pen, hair pin... into your eye. When the speaker finally finishes, you're not sure what the point of their lecture was, but the last thing you want is to ask any questions for fear of encouraging them to talk more. Well, a Pecha Kucha is just the opposite of that and was actually created to stop the infamous "Death by Powerpoint". It is pronounced "pe-chak-cha" and is a presentation format in which content can be easily & efficiently shared with others. Each presentation lasts 6:40 & consists of 20 slides shown for 20 seconds. Originally devised by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham of Tokyo's Klein-Dytham Architecture (KDa); they sought to give young designers a venue to meet, network, and show their work and to attract people to their experimental event space in Roppongi (1). What we've found is that the best ones have really focused messages and leave audiences pondering things and asking themselves questions they otherwise might not have asked. We hope that some of ours presentations leave you feeling the same way and that you enjoy our Pecha Kucha's!Cheers! Aaron & Susan ("ASu")
