PowerPoint Extreme! Workshop // Wednesday, July 9, 7-10 pm
PowerPoint Extreme!: Groups and Spaces // Thursday, July 17, 8-10 pm

PowerPoint Extreme! is an evening of performances that brings PowerPoint out of the office and into the art space, addressing the weirdness, tedium, and sheer ubiquity of this medium. What the hell needs to be explained by a PowerPoint slideshow? - OR - What isn’t PowerPoint good for?

For this event we are inviting Chicago artist groups and spaces to present their endeavor through an offbeat use of PowerPoint. We encourage twisted applications of PowerPoint’s structure and aesthetics, especially as they pertain to the group or space’s particular interests. If you are involved in a Chicago-based artist group or space and would like to participate, please contact us!

The workshop will provide technical assistance in creating PowerPoint slideshows as well as examples of alternative uses of the medium.

Here are some links to help you make presentations:
