A Feathered History & My Textiles - A Presentation

On Sunday I gave a presentation in front of 120 people (!!) as part of the 9th "Pechakucha Night Kyoto". "Pechakucha" is a style of presentation whereby 20 slides are shown for 20 seconds each, advancing automatically.It was originally devised as an event for architects and designers to share their ideas but now you can give a presentation on just about anything! There's actually very little you can say about an image in 20 seconds so this really forces you to be clear about what you are trying to say. In that sense, it was tricky to prepare for.
１月２７日、京都で行われた「ペチャクチャナイト」にて１２０人前で自分の研究と作品について発表しました！ペチャクチャっていうのは、プレゼンテーションの形式で、２０枚のスライドが２０秒で自動的に切り替わります。全部で６分４０秒のプレゼンテーションなので、言いたいことをきちんとまとめないといけません。その点では、発表の準備がちょっとむずかしかったです。

But..somehow I pulled it off! I chose to speak half about my research and half about my work, as they are linked and wrapped up in each other.

けど、なんとなくできました！プレゼンテーションは、京都での研究について３分２０秒でちょっと説明して、残りは京都で作った作品を紹介するという形に決めました。

And so, by the magic of the internet, my presentation is now online as part of a video that was taken of the entire Pechakucha Night Event. If you feel so inclined, feel free to listen to my 6 minutes and 40 seconds of glory. I was the 4th presenter out of 11 for the night, so my talk starts at the 37 minute mark in this video. http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/28846579

それで、インターネットの魔法のおかげで、私のプレゼンテーションにも観察できます！よろしければどうぞ見てください。１１人の発表の中、私が４番目なので、ビデオでは３７分のところが私の登場です（＾＾）
