Controlled-Random Group Presentation

This video documents our presentation of Situated Technologies Pamphlet #5, A synchronicity: Design Fictions for Asynchronous Urban Computing by Julian Bleecker and Nicolas Nova for our Media History and Theory class.

The article being discussed can be found here.

4 Presenters
1 Section each
5 Talking points per section
2 Images per talking point

Every 1 minute, the presentation system selects, at random, 1 of the four speakers and 1 of his or her 5 talking points to discuss.

Each talking point will have 2 images displayed for 30 seconds each. Images will be selected at random from the 40 total images.

This continues until all of the talking points are covered. No talking points will be duplicated.

The intent behind mixing the order of talking points and the sequencing of images is to explore the potential for new connections to develop between the different presenters’ topics for discussion.
