Wednesday the 17th is Pecha Kucha Night, a night where designers of all types- game design, animation, urbanism, architecture, robotics, graphic design, industrial design, etc. - come together and each present 20 slides each for 20 seconds (4'20"). It is at SAT (St-Laurent just south of Ste-Catherine) and costs 5$ to get in. They sell drinks. You can bring food.
Last year we met a reporter for the NY Times there and were interviewed for a story on the growing Pecha Kucha movement in design. Two years ago we saw a guy make a presentation on super low resolution gaming entitled, "How low can you go?" They were trying to see how few pixels they needed to make a great game.
It is fun, crazy, and occasionally a little boring. It is defintely cool to see different kinds of designers, the work they do, and the way they present. All the architects never have enough time to present. They gamers don't have enough to say to fill their time. We could learn a lot from them.
We'll go to St-Sulpice pour une pichet aprés la soirée Pecha Kucha.
