  Pecha Kucha: Get to the PowerPoint in 20 Slides

  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 displayed 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 result, in the hands of masters of the form, combines business meeting and poetry slam to transform corporate clich into surprisingly compelling beat-the-clock performance art. The duo — Dytham is British, Klein Italian — invented pecha-kucha four years ago to help revive a struggling performance space they owned. The first presentations were such a hit that they began hosting monthly pecha-kucha events, boozy affairs at which Tokyo architects and designers showcased their streamlined offerings to crowds of hundreds. Now there are pecha-nights in 80 cities, from Amsterdam and Atlanta to San Francisco and Shanghai. Why? Dytham believes that the rules have a liberating effect. "Suddenly," he says, "there's no preciousness in people's presentations." Just poetry. By Dan Pink | Wired Magazine Issue 15.09

  Digital Signage Solution : DigInfo

  diginfo - www.diginfo.tv The NEC Group held the "C&C User Forum & iexpo 2008" for three days from November 11th at the Tokyo International Forum (Yurakucho). The theme of the forum was "Creating a human-centric, earth-friendly information society." NEC introduced its Digital Signage Solution technology that is used to create advertising delivery and display systems that control the delivery of advertising contents displayed on electronic displays so that the contents are tailored to those viewing the display. The system visually displays advertisement information in a timely manner via a network to people gathered at specific times in specific locations such as building complexes or public facilities. The main feature of the Digital Signage Solution is the use of nec's facial recognition sensing technology and advertising control technology to effectively measure what aspect of the advertisements shown on the display that the viewers are interested in. Based on this information, the system is able to establish and manage complex, rigid advertisement delivery conditions for each display. Companies are focusing on this technology as a new advertisement media because it can be used to reliably send messages to people in the area. NEC has already introduced the technology in the broadcasting industry and plans to begin sales of this device in the spring of 2009.
