ABOUT PechaKucha_Beijing HYPERLINK "http://www.pkbj.org/"www.pkbj.org
The expression Pecha Kucha is Japanese and translates best as ?he sound of conversation? Pecha Kucha Night, devised by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham in Tokyo, was conceived in 2003 as a place for young designers to meet, network and show their work in public. Pecha Kucha Night is an uncommercial event and has spread virally to more than 70 cities across the world. The principals for each Pecha Kucha night are the same: The speakers are allowed to showcase 20 images, each visible for 20 seconds - giving a total presentation time of 6 minutes and 40 seconds of fame before the next presenter is up. The special presentation format unites Pecha Kucha Nights from Tokyo to New York, from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur and from London to Beijing. It has encouraged passionate local teams all over the world to give outstanding presenters a stage to share their fascination about art, architecture, design, and more fields within the creative industries. A book about the global network of Pecha Kucha Night will be published by end of the year.
