Comments on: Prepping for Pecha Kucha http://www.imamuseum.org/blog/2009/06/10/prepping-for-pecha-kucha/ The IMA blog is a space to discuss everything related to the Indianapolis Museum of Art.

To me, the key seems to be letting the image silently "speak" with the speaker - not in place of the speaker. This may be a stretch, but perhaps the images you choose could be related to the notes that appear on artbabble.org -They act as a guide to create conversation and further thinking, while not really disrupting the original message (unless you want them to!) Good luck and have fun! I personally have never seen a Pecha Kucha presentation, so while the concept seems simple enough, I’m sure the task of preparing one is not.

I think this is especially true for museums just entering new media and web projects who are feeling overwhelmed. You could talk about where you/IMA struggle or have not found answers to difficult questions pertaining to the IMA's site and ArtBabble. Also, I know the blog post said pre-record it or read from a script, but I always think that sounds very canned. Practice, yes, but keep it loose. Why would anyone go to see it in person if it is pre-recorded? Everybody loves hearing the truth, and appreciates frankness when it comes to vulnerability.
