    Interesting idea: Norihiko Terayama‘s “Claska 701 Someone’s Atelier” installation is actually set up in one of the hotel’s rooms (701, of course). Even better, you can stay in the room. Spoon & Tamaga posts more details and photos.

    I just put up a post about the PechaKucha Night event held in Denver last week over at PechaKucha Daily, and wanted to share the image above, of the audience spelling out PKN with their mobile phones — love the effect it created. Maybe we should try and make it happen at tomorrow’s Tokyo edition!

    Apologies for the bombastic title, but I am very pleased to report that I am now going to be working with KDa on PechaKucha Night-related projects. There are a lot of exciting projects down the line that I can’t really talk much about, but for now one thing you will be seeing my input quite…
