>talk20

these are photos from friday's talk20 [by unknown author so far].
you can see the amazing core of crownhall [although the initial function was different than that of lectures and presentations] full of people: ~300!
i really liked the presentations, and although they were coming from 12 different speakers, the result was very coherent.
i showed some of my [art] work related to cities or other urban complexes, some you might have seen in this blog: like venice biennale and some others i did in greece some years ago; all together with my current interests- explored in this blog as well: like mcc! thomas kearns that was presenting after me talked about sandbox, interactive architecture, video games and [of course !] 2nd life, which was great match with my presentation. [i really wanted to include 2nd life but its boring-for others-to talk about things you are not really into them!]
martin's presentation was 20 competitions he did the last 10[?] years. very fresh and very architectural presentation on contemporary ideas. when i was reading about pecha kucha i found out that toyo ito had presented 20 competitions he had lost! and i thought this is a brilliant idea for that kind of show!
well, martin included the ones urbanlab won: his final slide was the the h20 chicago project- urbanlab: future of the city national winners!
it was so fun!
the graphics from most of the competitions were very beautiful.
extension gallery was also presented by paula palombo and i was very proud to see some of my photos of the recent show "traps" on this presentation!
i was happy to meet penelope dean, a woman with a very dynamic presentation on publications for the last [20?] years, non linearly presented.
there were more things going on... a perfect video at the end by plasmastudio which i hope to have a chance to watch more concentrated soon.

on the previous post i [?] made a mistake regarding barbara di gregorio presenting in talk20.
unfortunately we lost the chance to see her amazing slides.
