Contextual Portfolio - Rob Lycett - Seminar

For this weeks seminar we were set a task before we attended which was to produce a short presentation on existing exhibitions that could inspire us for our end of year exhibition. The task is shown below:

*In preparation for the 'Collide' exhibition, you will engage in visual research into innovative and exciting exhibition formats and make micro presentations in the seminar sessions on the 18th March. Think about the way that physical objects and digital media are presented.

The format will be a shortened version of the 'PechaKucha' style of presentation that is very popular in the arts and creative industries. Essentially, you talk for 20 seconds about each visual slide in your presentation. We will do a micro PechaKucha - i.e. 5 slides

An Adobe InDesign template has been supplied, which you must use. Do not alter the layout or typeface (size or font). The first slide is a title - so please enter your own name. Each slide should comprise an image, a caption and two written points/statements. These textual prompts will enable you to talk confidently about each slide without a script. The slide should contain a single image - see image below and the sample pdf.*

I chose exhibitions which were interactive as I'm not a regular attendee of exhibitions I thought of what would attract me to go or interest me whilst I was there. Some of the exhibitions looked at how you could utilise the space more.
