Three months ago, on February 25, 2010, Elisa Yon<\/a> and some friends helped instigate Victoria<\/a>‘s first PechaKucha Night<\/a>. That was Vol. 1<\/a>, and it was a blast.<\/p>\n

Now, get ready for Vol. 2<\/a>, happening this Thursday, May 27 at the Victoria Event Centre<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I know I’ll be surprised by Vol. 2, just as Vol. 1 surprised me with Victoria-based presenters who had fascinating stories and experiences and talents to share.<\/p>\n

But here a few I’m particularly looking forward to: architects Keith Dewey of Zigloo<\/a> (houses made from shipping containers) and Ayrie Cunliffe<\/a> (who will perhaps tell us about tree houses?, not sure…); Manjinder Benning of Karmetik<\/a> (“…a think tank of artists and engineers exploring a digital renaissance, seeking to question and redefine the boundaries between music, the visual arts, and technology” – read more<\/a> or check out Wired Magazine<\/a>‘s video of the Karmetik Machine Orchestra<\/a>); designer Tara Tyreman<\/a>, who also designed the poster (used as illustration, above) that advertises Thursday’s Vol. 2; Quinton Gordon of the amazing Luz Centre for the Photographic Arts<\/a>; and Rhonda Ganz<\/a> whose blog is all about getting rid of stuff.<\/p>\n

That list, by the way, represents fewer than half the participants, so I know I can expect double the interestingness alluded to via the above links.<\/p>\n

The event starts at 7:30pm, but doors open at 7pm. Judging from the throng that attended the first event, my advice is to get there early.<\/p>\n

The brilliant folks at Anonymous Advertising<\/a> put together a fun video, filmed on the spot (during intermission) at the Vol. 1 event: 10×10<\/a> (10 audience members who speak for 10 seconds each), which gives a sense of how energizing that first evening was. Check out the other videos (Vimeo) of Vol. 1 presentations<\/a> – great stuff.<\/p>\n
