C A L L for I N T E R E S T - a Ted Noten request

Call for interest concerningIdeas into Materials’ session

TedNoten is looking for motivated 'young' crazy jewellers who want to present their work during a six minute PechaKucha 20x20.

Interested? Please send your PK-presentation in a powerpoint-file explaining how you want to show your work.
Ted will select two applications!

Please send your file to:
The deadline is: 01-01-2012. Winners will be informed the 15th of January.


NOTE
PechaKucha means ‘chitchat’ in Japanese. Each presenter prepares 20 powerpoint slides, and gets 20 seconds per slide. Each slide is shown for 20 seconds and the timing will be set automatically in Powerpoint  to ensure the accurate progress from one slide to the next (each PK presentation lasts a total of 6 minutes and 40 seconds). There will be a computer technician available to assist.
Each slide can contain images or text (or both) but ideally no animation, video or music to avoid glitches.
NOTE for the PechaKucha speaker: When the PK speaker is introduced; you have about 2 minutes max of introduction explaining what your session is about. This can be casual. After your signal we’ll open your presentation, which will immediately begin - and away you go! The slides will change every twenty seconds. You won’t need to press anything. You will essentially just give your talk as the slides change behind you (or to the side of you).
ThePechaKucha works best if it is rehearsed beforehand. Think of it as a talkrather than a paper.  The text can beindependent of the images, to avoid a sequence rush or catch-up. Awell-prepared and timed presentation can bring the difference in communicatingyour ideas. Consider humour as a way to communicate that. There won’t be timeto elicit any response from audiences.
