PowerPoint Extreme!
Friday, March 11, 7 - 11pm
An evening of performances that bring PowerPoint out of the office and into the art space, addressing the weirdness, tedium, and sheer ubiquity of this medium. What the hell do we need to know that it needs to be put in a PowerPoint slideshow? - OR - What isn't PowerPoint good for?
PowerPoint Extreme! celebrates amateurship, for everyone is passionate about some topic, imagined or real. It asks how and why PowerPoint has become the default corporate and academic medium for the presentation of ideas and instruction. It encourages tenuous (and often humorous) connections between a variety of media and subject matters. It exploits the technical tools of the application (embedded imagery, animation, sound files, etc.) to create slideshows that are visually interesting and playfully cluttered.
Refreshments and Musak to follow after the performances.
