Translated as the sound of conversation Pecha Kucha is the optimized vision of creative presentations. At every Pecha Kucha Night around the world, each presenter is allowed 20 images shown at 20 seconds a piece, with a grand total of 6 minutes and 40 seconds for their entire presentation. Having this time limit really keeps presentations down to just the good stuff.
This was the fifth time that Pecha Kucha has happened in Vancouver . Kris Krug was chosen with 11 other presenters to speak on varying topics. Krug's discussion was a visual handbook on open-sharing . He was positioned along side Rex Weyler 's photo presentation from the startup of Greenpeace , Dolly Hopkins ' discussion on her involvement with the Illuminaries Festival , and Shawna Cox 's documentary adventure with the desert races .
The entire night was a direct onslaught of intelligent creative individuals creating art and social change, all within the city limits of Vancouver. The entire sold out theatre was filled with creative individuals. Everyone left feeling very inspired or super intimidated!
The 6th installment of Pecha Kucha is scheduled for May 21, 2009 at the Park Theatre .
Here is a video of the talk on open-sharing that Kris gave:
