TALK20:ATHENS

I can't resist an opportunity to make a complete fool of myself. Join us for the fun and enlightenment.

Here is Brian Hitselberger, the mastermind behind the organization of TALK20:Athens.

Talk20 is a global phenomenon in which individuals working directly in creative fields gather together to present their research and work to an audience, in an attempt to create new dialogues and foster creative and ideological exchange.Here's how it works:-Each participant creates a PowerPoint presentation of 20 slides. These slides can consist of any kind of information--text, images, sound or video. But all information must be condensed into 20 PowerPoint slides.-During each presentation, each slide is projected for 20 seconds-no more and no less. The lecturing participant, has 20 seconds to say whatever it is he has to say about each of his slides.-Each presentation is 400 seconds long (6 minutes, 40 seconds).-A Talk20 event consists of 10 presentations, one right after the other, with a brief intermission after the first five presentations.

These presentations will explore topics ranging from consumerism, local exploration, philosophies, notions of viewing and recording, histories (both personal and political), therapeutic practices and more. There will be many surprises, connections and interactions to be had, and I encourage you all strongly to attend. TALK20:Athens will begin at 6pm in the lab at the Cine Theater. Donations to cover rental costs will be greatly appreciated, but are not required for attendance. We hope to see you there!
